About
Launched in 2005 at Hyde Park with a pop and rock focus, Wireless Festival relocated to Finsbury Park and shifted toward hip hop, grime, R&B and afrobeats, becoming a major gathering point for British and American urban music. The festival runs across several open-air stages in this large park in north London.
