The Canadian rapper headlined all three days of the festival in London, and it generated plenty of buzz. On Day 2, he had brought on the likes of Skepta, Sexyy Red, and Central Cee on the stage. He also said that no one can "out-rap" the UK rappers in terms of lyrics, amidst the ongoing debate with the US rappers.

On Day 3, he took it a step further by bringing on the likes of Vybz Kartel, Burna Boy, and Lauryn Hill, saying:

“Today, I really wanted to pay my respect to the performers. Bringing the Worl’ Boss home to London after 20 years, making sure that he got time to headline his set. Bringing out Big 7, Burna Boy and making sure he got his time to rock with y’all.”

Burna Boy performed a 30-minute set, which garnered a great reception. Drizzy then previewed his song with Central Cee before singing his verse from the 2016 hit Work. He then also brought out Rema for a small medley, with the latter performing his 2022 superhit song, Calm Down.

He ended the concert with a performance of Hotline Bling, with Central Cee, Popcaan, and Vybz Kartel joining him on stage.
