Cardi B, Dave, Nicki Minaj To Headline Wireless Festival 2022
Cardi B, Dave, Nicki Minaj and Tyler, The Creator are among the headliners announced for this year’s Wireless festival. This year will see the festival expand across three sites – Crystal Palace Park and Finsbury Park in London, and Birmingham’s Outdoor At The NEC – over two consecutive weekends (1-3 July and 8-10 July). It’s the first time that Birmingham has hosted the festival since 2014.
Headlining the Crystal Palace leg on the first weekend will be A$AP Rocky (UK exclusive), J. Cole (UK exclusive) and Tyler, The Creator (London festival exclusive).
The following weekend’s shows at Finsbury Park will boast bill-topping performances from Cardi B (UK exclusive), Nicki Minaj (European exclusive) and SZA, who’ll deliver her first-ever UK festival headline show.
That same weekend, Birmingham is set to welcome Dave, Cardi B and J. Cole as headliners at Outdoor At The NEC, a brand-new, purpose-built outdoor site at the city’s National Exhibition Centre (NEC) venue.
A second wave of acts for Wireless Festival 2022 will be revealed at 12pm GMT today (25 February) ahead of a final batch of names arriving on Monday (28 February). Tickets for this year’s events go on general sale on Monday at 12pm GMT here.
Fans who can’t attend in-person will be able to tune in to coverage on BBC Radio 1Xtra, which is partnering with Wireless for the very first time. The station will air exclusive interviews and performances, while 1Xtra DJs will host stages and play special DJ sets.
