The festival has in previous years featured predominantly hip-hop and pop acts. This year, however, the focus is largely on the former, and another strong mix of figureheads and breakthrough acts: Rick Ross and Big Sean rub up against upstarts Cardi B, Post Malone, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Pump, Migos and more.
Tickets for the festival are on sale now. Wireless originated in London in 2005, moving between various sites before settling in its current home of Finsbury Park in 2014, where it attracts approximately 50,000 people.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading the Guardian than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. The Guardian’s independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.
I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.Thomasine F-R.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure.
