Festival line-up update: Wireless, Field Day, Hove Festival and more
By Aly Barchi | Published on Thursday 4 April 2013
So, we all know the Rolling Stones are headlining AEG’s Hyde Park bash this summer, but what about that former Hyde Park fest from rival promoters Live Nation, now lovingly relocated East to the capital’s Olympic Park? Well, the latest news from Wireless is that Jessie J, Katy B, Magnetic Man and 2Chainz will convene with the already revealed Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Snoop Dog/Lion, Emeli Sandé, Frank Ocean, and the like. Marvellous.
Talking of Franky-O, he’s been newly listed to appear at Norway’s Kings Of Leon, Calvin Harris and A$AP Roky-starring Hove to-do, whilst another lone rapper added to a festival is Wiley, who’s to give his new LP ‘The Ascent’ an airing at Norfolk’s all-day Sundown soiree.
