People are speculating that Drake could appear at Electric Picnic this weekend

This would please a lot of people.

We’re not so sure…

Electric Picnic is mere days away and if you’re one of those lucky enough to be heading sown to Stradbally on Friday, then you’re probably feeling pretty smug right now.

But if you’re a fan of Drake, then you might be feeling that extra bit smug because some people are speculating that he might make an appearance at the festival this weekend.

The chatter online started when Drake supported his good friend Giggs at Reading Festival last weekend, spotted first by The Daily Edge.

“I came all this way just to have this party with you,” he proclaimed to the crowd when he appeared on stage with Giggs.

While this doesn’t exactly fill us with confidence that Drake will be in Stradbally next weekend, Giggs will be appearing on the main stage at Electric Picnic on Saturday between 4.45pm and 5.15pm.

The pair are good friends and seem to be having a great time together, so maybe Drake will stick around for another few days while his house is being done up.

Electric Picnic is organised by venue-management and music promotion group, Festival Republic. The director of the group is Melvin Benn, and the group also organises Reading Festival.

People seem to think/hope there’s a chance it might just happen.

But then again, people going to Lockdown festival are hoping for the same thing, so we’re not going to hold our breath on that score.
