Fans say the same thing as Wireless line-up released four days before festival

It's finally here - the Wireless Festival 2025 line-up has been announced at long last. The first wave of tickets to the festival in London's Finsbury Park sold out in record time in February of this year, and since then, fans have been eagerly waiting for the full bill.

While we already knew Drake is headlining all three days this weekend (July 11-13) - with Boy Better Know, Burna Boy, Vybz Kartel, PARTYNEXTDOOR, and Summer Walker having all been confirmed previously - fans were left wondering who else would be gracing the stage. In a previous post on X, organisers said: "London. We're taking over. Line up dropping Monday 7th July."

But on Monday morning (July 7) - just four days before the event - festival-goers were still waiting to hear the full weekend line-up.

Finally, on Monday evening, the rest of the artists due to appear this weekend were revealed - sparking a influx of reaction videos and comments online.

Some 20 new names have now been added to the official bill. Each night will reflect the cream of Black music, celebrating a coming-together of global rap, R&B, Afrobeats, dancehall, grime, and trap.

New acts revealed include Leon Thomas, KWN, Odeal, Roy Woods, Sailorr, TBA, Nippa, and Kamilla Rose on Friday.

Saturday will see the likes of BigXThaPlug, Lancey Foux, Nemzzz, Fimiguerrero, Sahbabii, Len, Chy Cartier, YT and Kenny Allstar perform.

Sunday attendees will be able to see Vybz Kartel, Popcaan, Spice, Masicka, Uncle Waffles, Darkoo, Odumodublvck, Skeete and Izzy Bossy. Drake will headline all three days.

However, after much anticipation, it seems fans are not overly impressed with how long they had to wait for the line up. Ticket holders have rushed to social media to share their thoughts.

One wrote: "The same week of the festival?! The tickets came out in February you're having a f***ing laugh. You're just doing this so people aren't able to refund their tickets."

"About time," said another. "Releasing the line up 4 days before the festival is awful work do better." "My patience is being tested," said another ticket-holder.

On TikTok, one said: "Four days before is diabolical." "It better be a good lineup for how long we've waited," insisted one other.

The line-up itself has also inspired mixed reactions. One person wrote: "20 year anniversary and this is it?" adding: "Wireless are you joking."

Another ticket-holder, named Lee, said: "So the Wireless line up just dropped. I'm just grateful to see Drake. Friday is the most secure day you can get...the RnB side is going to go crazy, so fair enough."

He said the Sunday line-up is similar to what fans may have seen in 2013. Commenting on his post, one said: "Anyone want to swap Saturday with Friday?" Another wrote: "Saturday is the best day and it's still disappointing."

"This ain't giving 20th anniversary by the way," one Instagram user writes.

But others seem pleased. "Best line up I've ever seen to be honest," someone else said. Another commenter declared: "Sunday about to be a vibe."

Others pointed out one artist is still 'TBA' (to be announced) and wondered who it might be.

This will be the first time in the festival's history that one artist headlines all three days. Hotline Bling singer Drake as already touched down in London ahead of the event, telling his supporters on his Instagram story that "the boy's home."

Are there any Wireless tickets left?

There was a limited number of tickets were released on Monday (July 7 2025) and are currently on sale now through Ticketmaster until the final release sells out.
