Calvin Harris and Chase & Status lead the lineup for the festival, which will run from Friday 8 to Sunday 10 March in Finsbury Park — but many are claiming there are not enough big names.

Friday’s acts will include Calvin Harris, The 1975, Bryson Tiller and Miguel.

Saturday’s bill will be topped by Chase & Status, J. Cole and Future.

And on Sunday the festival will be closed by Kygo and Boy Better Known.

Twitter users are currently criticising the lineup using the hashtag #wirelesslineup, complaining that it does not have enough big names compared to previous years.

Last year the festival featured Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Jessie J, David Guetta, Mary J Blige, Nicki Minaj and Avicii.

However, there are still acts to be announced for this year, so who knows what the organisers will pull out of the bag.

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday March 11.
