I don't really know what to expect, Lovebox and Parklife both have great lineups again so I'm not sure what Wireless can offer that those can't.

Maybe A Tribe Called Quest?

can someone list me some likely artists? I don't see Bieber being there cos of his hyde park show, weeknd has his own tour in London in April I believe which is very close, ATCQ were there last time I went maybe 3 years ago...

my ideal would be Kendrick, A$AP, Em, Dre, Kanye, JayZ .... any of those i'd be happy for but I am guessing some have been there recently so perhaps unlikely?

I didn't get the email can someone tell me its content thanks

There was something mentioned a while ago on the Glastonbury forum about the Streets being offered big money for a festival slot. It's probably bs but I want to believe it

[jakecase]

I'm thinking The Weeknd, and some DJs really ahah, maybe Steve Aoki?

[NickisGinger]

Oh

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

They love their weird placements don't they. Bryson Tiller knows where the bodies are buried clearly.

Worst lineup I've Seend 

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

They could get one pretty good day out of that 3 day line up to be fair to them.

[evannn]

I think it looks decent, but probably going to bluedot that weekend anyway. None of the headliners are exclusive, so hoping to catch a couple elsewhere

It's a lot better than I expected. I think they've pulled it out of the bag here. Friday is quite a bit weaker - I guess they've discounted it but it doesn't seem like they've priced it down enough.

Yeah it's stronger than last year, and it will inevitably look stronger still after Stormzy is added as Skepta's sub.

[JSmurphy]

Not for me this year but the lineup has been very well received on social media, I expect it'll do fine this year. 

[Mattymooz]

Interesting how Wireless this year is a lot more rap/hip-hop/grime/r&b compared to last year which had a ton more pop and electronic in it

[Rose-Colored Boy]

It's always had pop elements to it - Bruno Mars headlined only three years ago - but seeing as it's been struggling it's no surprised to see they've taken it in a more specific and less eclectic direction this time. But even then they still have a bit of pop on there, that Zara Larsson

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Last year seemed more of a conscious effort to change their clientele a bit after the crowd trouble the year before.
