Wireless Festival is an annual rap and hip- hop music festival that takes place in London, United Kingdom. It is owned and managed by Live Nation. While it started as primarily a rock and pop festival, since the early 2010s, it has focused on hip- hop and other genres of music.
From its inception in 2005 until 2008, the festival was sponsored by telecommunications company O2, and was called the O2 Wireless Festival. From 2009 to 2012, the main sponsor was Barclaycard and the festival was renamed to Barclaycard Wireless Festival. For 2013, the sponsor changed to Yahoo!, and was renamed to Yahoo! Wireless.
In 2015, the sponsor became the fashion retailer New Look. Sponsorship then changed to delivery company Gopuff in 2021, and has remained the same for the 2022 and 2023 editions of the festival. This year, it was announced that the festival would return to Finsbury Park between 12 and 14 July 2024.
