The official lineup for the 2015 Wireless Festival in London featured one of the strongest hip-hop lineups of the decade, with Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Nicki Minaj announced as headliners.
The annual festival, held at Finsbury Park, continued its tradition of blending mainstream rap stars with emerging talent. Supporting acts included iLoveMakonnen, G-Eazy, Childish Gambino, OCD: Moosh & Twist, Jessie J, August Alsina, Grandmaster Flash and more.
Wireless Festival 2015 was particularly notable for bringing together three of the biggest names in hip-hop during a peak era for the genre. At the time, Drake was dominating the charts, Kendrick Lamar was building momentum following To Pimp a Butterfly, and Nicki Minaj remained one of the most influential female rappers in the industry.
The event further solidified Wireless Festival as one of Europe’s premier music festivals for hip-hop and R&B.
Wireless Festival has continued to evolve over the years, with Drake later dominating all three nights of the 2025 edition and previous stacked lineups like the 2019 festival reinforcing its reputation as a premier global hip-hop event.
