Nicki Minaj, 21 Savage, J Hus, and Doja Cat Set to Headline Wireless Festival
The highly anticipated Wireless festival is back at Finsbury Park, London, from July 12th to July 14th.
21 Savage, the London-born rapper, fresh off the release of his third album, American Dream, expresses his excitement about headlining Wireless for the first time, saying he's "so happy to be returning home."
Joining the star-studded lineup are Future, Ice Spice, Asake, and Tyla.
Nicki Minaj, riding the wave of success from her latest album, Pink Friday 2, will take the stage on Friday night as the headline act.
Doja Cat, known for hits like "Paint the Town Red," will close out the festival on Sunday night, promising attendees a "mind-blowing weekend full of show-stopping moments."
The festival will also feature performances from Sean Paul, Gunna, Rema, Digga D, Uncle Waffles, and more surprises yet to be announced next week.
Sharing the announcement on X, Nicki said the festival "will be iconic".
It's been a busy weekend on the Barbie World singer's timeline after beef erupted between her and Megan Thee Stallion.
Nicki clapped back after Megan's new track Hiss appeared to reference her, and released her own diss track, Big Foot, in return.
Fans have been divided over the feud, but devoted Nicki fans, better known as Barbz, are still hyped to see their idol, with Wireless bosses branding her headline slot "pink Friday".
The Wireless line-up was revealed exclusively on 1Xtra Breakfast with Nadia Jae.
"It is the biggest celebration of contemporary black music in the UK," Nadia said. "1Xtra cannot wait to be there again - we're excited."
Last year, Wireless signed a five-year deal with Haringey Council to be held in Finsbury Park every summer until at least 2027.
About 50,000 rap, R&B and hip-hop fans head to the festival each year.
Weekend tickets, priced at £258.25, go on sale on Wednesday, with two-day tickets starting at £175.50 and day tickets from £94.60.
