The first show will take place on Aug. 1 at the Air Canada Centre in Drizzy's hometown, where Kevin Hart is slated to kick off the festivities with a headlining standup comedy performance.
On the following day, fellow rapper J. Cole is scheduled to bring his "2014 Forest Hills Drive" tour to the Canada-based venue, joined by Big Sean, YG, Jeremih, as well as his Dreamville Records signees Bas, Cozz and Omen.
The "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" rapper will wrap up the forthcoming festival on Aug. 3 at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre with special guests to be announced later.
Meanwhile, Drake recently denied any involvement in the upcoming film "Drake's Homecoming: The Lost Footage" set to hit 250 theaters on March 19, tweeting:
The Drake Homecoming film is not something OVO or Drake have any part in. I feel it is my responsibility to inform and protect my fans. — Drizzy (@Drake) March 16, 2015
James Prince and I stand together on not supporting the Drake Homecoming footage in theatres. #protectingthefans

"This live sold out concert filmed at Toronto's Sound Academy in 2009 just prior to Drake signing with Lil Wayne's Young Money was believed lost and destroyed," the movie website states. "After its recent re-discovery, additional production footage was added to the concert film including interviews with James Prince and his son Jas Prince; the latter credited with the actual discovery of Drake. The much anticipated concert film includes the international smashes, 'Best I Ever Had' and 'Successful.'"
Tickets for OVO Fest 2015 go on sale on March 20.
