The three day festival will also move from its traditional home at Finsbury Park to be held in Crystal Palace Park, London.

While some big names are headlining, including Future, Skepta and rap group Migos on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights respectively, only one woman appears near the top of the billing.

That is Grammy award winning Megan Thee Stallion who will perform on Sunday night and is only one of five women on the 49-act lineup.

Other women performing include Yinka, Ivorian Doll, Darkoo and Tiffany Calver.

Wireless joins a list of summer festivals which have been slammed for its male-dominated line-ups, including Reading, Leeds, TRNSMT and Isle of Wight festivals.

Summer festivals were cancelled last year due to coronavirus restrictions, but this year organisers are more optimistic thanks to the success of the vaccination programme and a decrease in Covid cases and deaths.

Huge festivals such as Reading and Leeds, Parklife, the Isle of Wight Festival, Camp Bestival and Creamfields will all go ahead this year.
