Toronto's hometown hero made a splash in Hollywood, but the rap superstar hasn't forgotten his roots. The Thank Me Later singer just announced his new Toronto-based music festival, the OVO Festival. Launching August 1 at Molson Ampitheatre, the concert is a joint production between Drake's entertainment company, "October's Very Own," and BlackBerry. The festival will surely be a summer highlight for the city, with featured artists including Drake, Francis & the Lights, Young Jeezy and Bun B.

"I truly believe this is entertainment at a level that the city has never seen before," Drake said in a statement to Billboard. "I'm hoping that it is a safe and magical night and that OVO Festival becomes a tradition every year."
