Wireless 2025 made history as the fastest-selling edition in the festival’s two-decade run, with tickets selling out within minutes following the news that Drake would headline an unprecedented all three nights.
Announced today across two stages are dancehall king POPCAAN, GRAMMY Award-winning LEON THOMAS, multi-platinum BigXThaPlug, LANCEY FOUX, NEMZZZ, SPICE and MASICKA, with OVO’s ROY WOODS headlining the Old Spice Stage on the Friday.
New additions include Nigeria’s ODUMODUBLVCK and Atlanta’s SAHBABII, with UK-afro standouts DARKOO and ODEAL also joining the lineup. FIMIGUERRERO takes the Old Spice Stage headline slot on Saturday, while Amapiano hero UNCLE WAFFLES will close on Sunday.
Rising R&B stars SAILORR and NIPPA are also announced, alongside a fresh wave of homegrown names including CHY CARTIER, KWN, LEN, YT and SKEETE. DJS KAMILLA ROSE, KENNY ALLSTAR and IZZY BOSSY will also return to the decks at Finsbury Park.
These newly announced acts join a heavyweight lineup featuring BURNA BOY, PARTYNEXTDOOR, SUMMER WALKER, VYBZ KARTEL and the iconic BOY BETTER KNOW.
Wireless has also teamed up with the V&A Museum and Artist-in-Residence MICHAEL AKUAGWU, alongside the V&A Young People’s Team, to create a special on-site installation titled Pass the Aux. Inspired by West African studio photography and seaside peep boards, the piece invites festival-goers to share personalised song recommendations on Polaroid prints – capturing the joy of shared musical discovery and spontaneous connection.
Wireless is renowned for ‘I was there’ moments, and there will no doubt be more surprises in store. Celebrating its 20th edition, the three-day festival continues to cement itself as Europe’s biggest celebration of Black music, bringing together the global rap, R&B, trap, afrobeats, dancehall and grime communities and beyond.
