Yesterday, the 7th annual OVO Fest kicked off with performances from Soca legend Machel Montano and a surprise appearance from Sean Paul at Toronto’s Echo Beach. Tonight, Drake and Future join the festivities for back-to-back dates at the Air Canada Centre as part of their Summer Sixteen tour. If 2016 OVO Fest is anything like last year's, we can expect lots of surprises and special guests. We'll be continually updating this post throughout the night, so stay tuned.
