London festival Wireless has announced its 2018 line-up. Taking place in Finsbury Park from 6–8 July, the weekender’s headliners are J Cole, DJ Khaled and friends, and Stormzy, heading up a strong showing for grime and black British talent.

Further down the bill, British rap veterans Wiley, Giggs and Wretch 32 rub shoulders with a younger generation, including J Hus, Ramz, Not3s and Mostack, and scene associates such as Mabel.

The festival has in previous years featured predominantly hip-hop and pop acts. This year, however, the focus is largely on the former, and another strong mix of figureheads and breakthrough acts: Rick Ross and Big Sean rub up against upstarts Cardi B, Post Malone, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Pump, Migos and more.

Cardi B, French Montana, Giggs, J Hus, Migos, Post Malone, Rick Ross and Wiley will also perform at the festival, which promises to be one of the biggest musical celebrations in the capital.

The best London music festivals of 2018 11 show all The best London music festivals of 2018 1/11 South West Four Clapham Common plays host to one of London’s biggest dance music festivals over August bank holiday weekend, as South West Four celebrates its 15th anniversary. The first acts have just been announced for the festival, with the likes of Stefflon Don, Dizzee Rascal, Bugzy Malone and Craig David set to join headliners Chase and Status on the bill. Standard weekend tickets begin at £115 and go on presale on Wednesday, January 17. 2/11 We Are FSTVL We Are FSTVL celebrating its sixth year in 2018, and offers up one of the strongest dance, bass and grime offerings of the summer. It’s Upminster location means it’s a little out of town, but well worth travelling to for fans of dance, bass and grime. DJs Charlie Sloth, Andy C, Carl Cox, DJ Ez, Eric Prydz and Marco Carola are all performing this year, but while the main stage is a great draw, the house tent also puts on great acts during the day. 3/11 Field Day Field Day first came to Victoria Park ten years ago, and quickly developed a reputation for being a great celebration of alternative music in London. Electronica royalty Aphex Twin performed alongside King Gizzard & the Lizzard Wizard and Run The Jewels at the festival in 2017, and 2018 could prove to be the biggest year yet for the festival. However, the festival is moving to Brockwell Park this year, and the change of location has stirred up controversy. Guardians of Brockwell park have launched a petition to pull the plug on the festival, which could potentially prove a problem for festival organisers. However, Field Day has been a major London event for over a decade, and almost certainly will be a big player for years to come. 4/11 GALA In an amongst the woods of Peckham Rye Park on May 27 you’ll find GALA festival, celebrating independent and alternative music in South London. The event moved from Brockwell Park last year, where it welcomed the likes of Crazy P and Horse Meat Disco, along with loads of great food and drink options. Tickets are priced from just £20-£40, so if you’re looking for somewhere new this summer, GALA could be a great place to try. 5/11 British Summer Time The Cure, Michael Buble, Eric Clapton, Bruno Mars and Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters are all performing in Hyde Park as part of British Summer Time this July, which promises to be the biggest series of shows the capital has on offer this year. Even better, each headliner is backed by a fantastic roster of support acts, with the likes of Interpol, Santana and Goldfrapp also performing across the course of the festival series. 6/11 Wireless One of the blockbuster London events of the summer comes in the form of Finsbury Park’s Wireless Festival, which opens its doors for the weekend of July 6-8. Chance The Rapper, Skepta and The Weeknd headlined the event last year, and while the 2018 lineup has yet to be revealed, you can guarantee some of the biggest acts in dance, rock and pop will be gracing the stage in north London this summer. Weekend tickets come in at £160, but individual day tickets begin at £55. 7/11 Community Indie fans from all over the city will be descending on Finsbury Park on July 1 for Community, a one-day celebration of alternative rock music in north London. The event champions up and coming bands, as well as established names like Circa Waves, The Vaccines and headliners Two Door Cinema Club. It’s great value too, at just £40 plus booking fee for a ticket, making this one of the best options for music fans on a budget. 8/11 Hampton Court Palace festival The Hampton Court Palace festival series is a chance for pop fans to take in a wide selection of widely-loved artists in one of the most impressive settings in the entire city. 2018 sees Gary Barlow and The Beach Boys play two nights a piece, with Jools Holland and guitarist Joe Bonamassa also performing on separate nights. It’s one of the more sophisticated music events of the summer, with tickets ranging from £49 to £149. 9/11 All Points East It’s the newest new music festival series in London, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the best... This year, for the first time, Victoria Park is playing host to All Points East, a shiny new celebration of alternative music in east London, welcoming a host of brilliant acts across May 25-27. LCD Soundsystem, The xx and Björk headline the three days, while the likes of Beck, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Phoenix, Lorde and Father John Misty are also set to perform. All Points East is single-handedly making it an exciting time to be a music fan in east London. Getty Images 10/11 Citadel Citadel is one of the newest names on London’s summer festival lineup, having launched in 2015, and finds a middle ground between boutique and mainstream events. There’s an alternative, but accessible feel to past lineups with likes of Foals, Laura Marling, Ben Howard and Bombay Bicycle Club headlining Citadel over the last few years. We’re still waiting for the first line-up announcement for this year’s event. However, the festival is in the process of moving from Victoria Park to south east London’s Brockwell Park this summer and organisers will be looking to see in the new surroundings in style. 11/11 Lovebox Lovebox festival, formed by DJs Groove Armada, has been bringing some of the most eclectic mix of acts to London for over a decade. After welcoming Frank Ocean, Jamie XX and Solange to headline their biggest year to date in 2017, Lovebox has relocated to Brockwell Park, near Brixton. It’s a huge move for the festival, and much like Field Day, guardians of Brockwell park have launched a petition to pull the plug on the festival. However, all being well, Lovebox will remain an institution for London’s music fans in 2018 and prove to be a must-attend event this summer.

It promises to be another huge year for the festival, after Chance The Rapper, Skepta and The Weeknd headlined the event in 2017.

Wireless is one of the capital's biggest celebrations of urban music, and has been entertaining fans for 13 years.
