London, England: Dancehall sensation Vybz Kartel will perform at the Wireless Festival in London alongside renowned Canadian rapper Drake. The event is scheduled to be held from July 11 to 13, 2025 in Finsbury Park as full lineup is yet to be announced. 

The performance of Kartel will mark his presence on the global stage for the first time after his release from the prison. He performed at his home ground during New Year at Freedom Concert 2025 which has turned out to be the most successful concert in Jamaica with the selling of the most tickets.

Kartel is currently residing in London with his fiancée, Sidem Öztürk and shared glimpses of the moments he is spending with his girlfriend. However, even after spending 13 years in prison and not performing anywhere on the stage, his popularity does not seem to be declining as the Freedom Concert turned out to be the biggest success of his music career.
