Drake Tour: 'Started From The Bottom' Singer Added to iHeartRadio Festival Lineup

Just when you thought the iHeartRadio Festival couldn't cram any more big names into its lineup, organizers announced that rapper Drake would be joining the show.

It seems obvious that a name as big as Drake's would be included in the headliners, but don't be so sure with this Las Vegas-based festival. Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry and Elton John are already listed as headliners, and the opening acts are rather renowned as well. Consider this lengthy list: Muse, Keith Urban, J. Cole, Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, Phoenix, Ke$ha, Tiësto, Chris Brown and Thirty Seconds to Mars. And, if that wasn't enough, Queen will be playing a special set with Adam Lambert stepping into the role of vocalist (something that's happened before, but still cool).

All of these acts will be taking place the MGM Grand, but an additional Festival Village will be open across the street from the Luxor Hotel on September 21, and THAT segment will feature performances from Miley Cyrus, The Wanted and Avril Lavigne.

Drake will immediately set out on his "Would You Like A Tour?" tour following his festival appearance. The rest of his dates can be found below:
