This morning, we described the newly announced Wireless line-up as "pretty massive." It seems a lot of people disagree. Strongly.
As the festival heads towards its 11th birthday at London's Finsbury Park this July, Calvin Harris, Chase & Status, and Kygo are set to headline, alongside the likes of The 1975, J. Cole, Boy Better Know, Future, Martin Garrix, Jess Glynne, A$AP Ferg and Action Bronson to the bill.
Though there's plenty of big names on the bill, it's not being favourably compared to last year's line-up, which included Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj and David Guetta.
That wireless line up is so dead man. I wouldn't be surprised if they added Don sheyonne

Wireless might as well not even have gates this year, nobody is breaking in to see Jess Glynne 😂

Wireless is looking like a weekend full of year 10's walking around drunk off Smirnoff ice

There are plenty of fans who were pleased with the announcement - but, full disclosure, we had to sift through quite a lot of negativity to find these.
Actually rate the wireless lineup 💯💯
