Must See Acts at New Look Wireless Festival

We're now less than a month away from New Look Wireless' tenth instalment, which as ever brings the biggest names in pop, hip hop, r&b and dance music to London's Finsbury Park across three glorious days. With the line up as big as ever, we've taken some time to narrow down who we'll be watching at this year's edition.

Friday 3rd July

Canadian r&b lothario Drake will surely be one of the busiest sets of the weekend, whilst Major Lazer's stunning electronic pop (as heard in 'Be Together' above) and Fuse ODG's feel good Afrobeat will be two of our personal selections. For the house heads Duke Dumont's set should be very much in your cross-hairs, whilst grime icon Lethal Bizzle will be another solid viewing choice.

Friday tickets are sold out.

Saturday 4th July

When it comes to stars of r&b, none are more revered than scene icon Mary J Blige, whose soulful, sophisticated demeanour will warm many a heart on the Saturday. It's a strong day for dance music too with Avicii, Knife Party and Gorgon City amongst the stars, whilst for us, controversial modern rap powerhouse Kendrick Lamar is undoubtedly the highlight of the day (read our review of his latest album here). Watch 'King Kunta' above.

Sunday 5th July

Big room house forefather David Guetta and off the wall pop starlet Nicki Minaj understandably sit at the top of the bill alongside the likes of Jessie J and Clean Bandit, but we wholeheartedly recommend catching Belgian hip hop and electronic artist Stromae. With a legacy of number one hits around Europe, the UK has been a bit slow on the uptake, but we suspect all that is about to change. Check out the poignant 'Carmen' above.
