Drake has officially confirmed that OVO Fest will be returning to Toronto this summer.
The announcement was made by Drizzly himself during his appearance at Central Cee‘s Toronto show over the weekend. In a viral clip, Drake is first heard giving Cee his flowers before thanking the audience.
“I’ll see you this summer,” he tells the crowd. “I will say this though, because I haven’t had the chance to say this yet. OVO Fest is back this year.”
The festival has been on hiatus for the last three years. Typically held in August to coincide with Toronto’s Caribbean Carnival and featuring a star-studded lineup usually filled with surprise guests, Drake last put on OVO Fest in 2022 where he reunited with his Young Money cohorts Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj.
It has become a cultural staple in the rapper’s hometown of Toronto, known for surprise guests, major headliners, and spotlighting local talent.
No additional details were announced, leaving fans to wait for more info.
