Before the announcement, Drake performed his song “Knife Talk” for the crowd with an assist from Dave.
OVO Fest launched in Toronto in 2010, and featured performances by Drake, Eminem, Jay-Z, Kardinal Offishall, and more.
In 2020 and 2021, the festival was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but with restrictions in Toronto lifted, the fest is set to go forward once again.
Fans online were excited by the news:
