00:00It's January, the first month of the new year, which means more festival rumours ahead of
00:06the second wave of announcements set to take place over the next few months, or in the
00:11case of Wireless Festival, an announcement.
00:15The beloved festival taking place at Finsbury Park in London on July 11th to July 13th 2025
00:21have yet to indicate who might be performing at this year's event, but one person who let
00:26slip who is set to participate happens to be a name regularly featured online among
00:31those fantasy festival bookers, Vibes Cartel.
00:35In an interview that was shared across X and social media earlier this month, Cartel revealed
00:40that he, Lil Wayne, Drake and Burnaboy are all set to perform at Wireless 2025, though
00:47no official confirmation yet from the organisers has been made regarding this long-standing
00:52rumour.
00:53But can a festival with Drake and Kendrick Lamar exist?
00:57Now with Drake having recently pulled two lawsuits against Universal Music Group and
01:02Spotify over inflated plays of Kendrick's clapback, not like us, perhaps there is a
01:08thawing between the two on a business level which allows Lamar and Drake to share the
01:13same postcode in London, at least just for three days, because those Kendrick Lamar rumours
01:19about his involvement in Wireless 2025 aren't going away any time soon.
01:25Other suggested names include a contingent of UK acts including Central Sea, D-Block
01:30Europe and Pink Pantheress, while many including myself hope that Tyler the Creator or ASAP
01:35Rocky could be part of this year's bill.
01:38With Rihanna rumoured to be a Glastonbury performer this year, timing-wise it could
01:44work for the pair and their family, but Benji, who do you want to see perform at Wireless
01:482025?
01:49Well, I have my picks.
01:51I'm hoping to at least see A Tribe Called Quest once in my life, R.I.P. 5, while admittedly
01:57I would also be keen to see KRS-One perform too, but wish fulfilment from me is seeing
02:02Wu-Tang Clan celebrate the 25th anniversary of their third album, The W, complete with
02:08ODB Hologram, which has been seen on stage before.
02:12So if you're watching or listening to this RZA, Bobby Steele, Prince Dynamite, O Sacred
02:17Abbot of Shaolin, New York that is, why not spend a summer at Finsbury Park in London?
02:24Please?
