Has Vybz Kartel spoiled some of the line-up for Wireless Festival 2025, scheduled to take place at Finsbury Park, London across July 11 to July 13 2025?
A video posted on social media seems to indicate that Kartel is arranging for a visa to head to the UK, with the Romping Shop singer also namechecking three more artists alongside himself that have been rumoured to be performing at the festival since we last checked in on the rumours floating around.
“Kartel will be there,” he revealed in the clip online, “alongside Drake, Lil Wayne and I think Burna Boy.” Though there are some skeptics that think Lil Wayne might be a long shot, owing to the last time he tried to perform at a UK festival he was denied entry by the UK border patrol.
But who else are people claiming will be making an appearance at the UK’s biggest hip-hop, R&B and urban dance party this summer? We’ve once again tracked those regular names people are suggesting on Reddit, X and TikTok to bring to you January’s round up of rumoured names to perform at Wireless 2025.
