Wireless Festival 2017 – New Acts Announced

Without doubt, Wireless Festival 2017 will be one of the UK’s biggest festivals of the year. You do not want to miss out on these

Wireless Festival 2017 Friday

Festival season is upon us and there’s still just about time to grab a ticket for one the biggest events in the calendar, Wireless Festival 2017. Recently added to the bill was Fetty Wap, Geko (Friday), Travis Scott (Saturday) and Bugzy Malone and Kojo Funds (Sunday). Fetty and Travis are UK exclusives, meaning they won’t be performing at any other festivals here this year – Yep, it’s a big deal.

Trap phenomenon Fetty Wap will be hitting the stage this summer to perform some of his biggest tracks to the capital’s crowds, including the summer anthem ‘My Way’ and the UK top 10 single ‘Trap Queen’. Following the incredible success of the multi-platinum self-titled album ‘Fetty Wap’, 2017 is set to be a huge year with the release of his eagerly anticipated second studio album ‘King Zoo’.

Grammy and MOBO nominated artist Travis Scott will be bringing his hugely popular sophomore album ‘Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight’ to Wireless for a special guest performance that’s not to be missed. Debuting at number one on the Billboard chart and having been streamed 50 million times he is sure to be one of the standout sets of the weekend. Celebrated as one of the biggest urban music festivals, Wireless is also home to the UK’s hottest artists and emerging talent. This year Wireless welcomes Manchester-born grime heavyweight Bugzy Malone to the festival.

Picked by BBC 1Xtra as part of the ‘Hot For 2016’ list as well as NME’s ‘One to Watch for 2016’, Bugzy Malone has been credited as a key player in the UK grime scene, producing hits such as ‘Watch Your Mouth’ and his second EP ‘Facing Time’ saw him storm the top ten.

These latest additions to Wireless Festival 2017 are joining headliners Chance The Rapper, Skepta and The Weeknd, alongside a huge supporting line up that includes Bryson Tiller, G-Eazy, Rae Sremmurd, Wiley, Young Thug, Nas, Section Boyz, Big Narstie and many more.

Wireless Festival 2017 promises to be the summer’s biggest yet. Global, the media & entertainment group, continues its partnership with Wireless as the official commercial radio partner. The lineup announcement was revealed exclusively on Capital and Capital XTRA. Global will have unrivalled backstage access to the world’s hottest artists at Wireless with Capital and Capital XTRA broadcasting from the festival across the weekend.
