Drake Cole Palmer GFX
For the first time since 2019, global hip-hop icon Drake made his long-awaited return to the Manchester stage, and Cole Palmer did not miss the opportunity to watch him live. The Chelsea forward traced his way to Co-Op Live on Friday night and was accompanied by another celebrity guest, Central Cee.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Launching the night with his track Gimme A Hug, the Canadian superstar took the stage in a casual blue button-down shirt paired with brown jeans. Before delving into his set, he greeted the packed arena with a shoutout to his most loyal fans: "Where my Day Ones at?" and the audience roared in response, welcoming him back with overwhelming energy, with Palmer and Cee in the crowd.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The timing of Drake’s Manchester concert series aligned perfectly with the release of a new joint track with Central Cee titled Which One. Premiered on an episode of Drake’s Iceman streaming series—filmed in various locations around Manchester—the song adds another chapter to their growing collaborative history. And surprisingly, the crowd was treated to a thrilling moment when Drake invited Central Cee on stage for a live rendition of the track. Drake was effusive in his praise for Central Cee and said, "I'm so proud of this guy. He's going around the world, killing it, shutting down every show, record after record."
