Dancehall princess Shenseea as well as Unruly Boss Popcaan and rising star Skillibeng have been confirmed for the United Kingdom’s Wireless Festival come July 2022.
The event which fuses some of Hip Hop, Afrobeat, and Dancehall’s biggest acts will run from Friday, July 1 until Sunday, July 10 and will be headlined by Tyler the Creator, Cardi B, and J. Cole. Other megastars to grace the stage will include Nicki Minaj, Sza, Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat, Lil Baby, Jhené Aiko, Burna Boy, Summer Walker, Little Simz, and Central Cee.
The week-long festival is slated to take place across three locations; Crystal Palace Park from July 1 to 3, Finsbury Park from July 8 to 10, and Birmingham, also from July 8 to 10.
Shenseea has been having a fruitful year, from releasing her debut album Alpha, to signing a global publishing deal with S10 Publishing, in partnership with Avex USA.
Meanwhile, Popcaan recently signed a management deal with UK-based Since 93. He’s expected to drop his fifth studio album sometime this year, and fans already got a teaser of the set titled Great Is He, with the release of Skeleton Cartier in March 2022.
Skillibeng, who is now signed to RCA Records in partnership with EastSyde Records, seems to be at a place of contentment with his career, based on his comments during an interview with Tim Westwood in April. He unequivocally declared that he makes music for the ladies, and doesn’t mind the backlash from naysayers who have been criticizing the uneven quality of his music.
