Wireless Festival is set to return to London this summer, bringing some of the biggest names in hip-hop, R&B and grime back to Finsbury Park for its 2026 edition.
Organisers have confirmed that Kanye West, now known as Ye, will headline all three nights of the festival, which runs from July 10 to July 12. The announcement marks his first UK performance in over a decade, and his first time headlining a London festival since topping the bill at Wireless in 2014.
The rapper last performed in the capital during a surprise, guest-filled show at KOKO in 2015, where he was joined on stage by the likes of Skepta, JME, Vic Mensa and Raekwon. His return is expected to be one of the most in-demand live events of the summer.
Here’s everything you need to know about Wireless Festival 2026, including dates, lineup and how to get tickets.
