With just days to go until Finsbury Park erupts into a sea of sound and celebration, Wireless Festival has revealed over 20 new artists for its much-anticipated 20th anniversary edition – and with it, one final chance for music lovers to grab tickets.
This year’s festival, presented by Rockstar Energy, is already breaking records as the fastest-selling in Wireless history. The buzz reached fever pitch when it was confirmed that Canadian megastar Drake would headline all three nights – a first for the festival and a move that sent ticket demand through the roof.
But now, organisers have pulled out even more stops with a final wave of performers announced today, spanning Friday 11th to Sunday 13th July 2025.
Among the biggest names added are dancehall heavyweight Popcaan, GRAMMY Award-winner Leon Thomas, afrobeats trailblazer Masicka, and rap phenomenon BigXThaPlug. Rising UK names including Nemzzz, Lancey Foux, and the fierce CHY Cartier also make the cut, alongside global stars like Uncle Waffles, ODUMODUBLVCK and Atlanta’s SahBabii.
DJs Kamilla Rose, Kenny Allstar and Izzy Bossy will be spinning across all three days, while UK-afro favourites Darkoo and Odeal join the already stacked bill.
This year’s festival is also going beyond the music. A new collaboration with the V&A Museum brings “Pass the Aux” to the Wireless site – a creative installation designed by Artist-in-Residence Michael Akuagwu and the museum’s Young People’s Team. Inspired by vintage West African photography and cheeky seaside peep boards, the installation invites festivalgoers to recommend songs via Polaroid snapshots, creating a joyful blend of nostalgia and modern music culture.
Already boasting a lineup that includes Burna Boy, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Summer Walker, Boy Better Know, Vybz Kartel and Spice, Wireless 2025 looks set to be a once-in-a-generation celebration of Black music in all its forms – from trap and grime to R&B and dancehall.
The final ticket release is live from 7pm BST today, and given how quickly previous batches vanished, those still holding out would be wise to act fast.
