He repeated his critique of the government’s response to the the fire, which he first aired at the Brit Awards in February: “Theresa May where's the money for Grenfell / What you thought we just forgot about Grenfell? / You criminals, and you got the cheek to call us savages / You should do some jail time, you should pay some damages.” Elsewhere in the set, the grime MC led a chant of “Three Lions” just a few hours after England beat Sweden in the World Cup quarter finals. The headline performance saw the grime MC bolstered by a 40-piece orchestra, 100-foot flames, giant video screens that at one point portrayed Theresa May as The Joker, and guest appearances from Ghetts and Krept & Konan, NME report. “LONDON MY FUCKING CITY,” Stormzy wrote on Instagram after the performance. “I LOVE YOU, THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME”. Wireless was an eventful weekend – Madonna was seen from the side of the stage during Migos’s performance on Saturday, while on Sunday (July 8), Drake made a surprise appearance to play some tracks from his new album Scorpion, including “God’s Plan” and “I’m Upset”. His 20-minute set replaced headliner DJ Khaled, who failed to show due to “travel issues” (despite photographing himself in a pool with the caption “still on vacation”).
