8 reasons why Wireless Festival is going to be amazing in 2014

Yeezus in the UK, the Outkast reunion + more

Yeezus hits our shores: We're more than ready to experience Kanye's Yeezus shows for real. The album was one of the best of 2013, and if the photos we've seen are anything to go by, the supporting show will be just as thrilling. Plus: Jesus.

Wireless Festival announced their headliners and supporting acts today (January 28), and it's set to be their most star-studded line up yet.

With rap heavyweights such as Drake and Kanye West set to perform, as well as appearances from buzzworthy rappers Chance The Rapper and A$AP Ferg - not to mention Outkast reuniting - the three-day event is pretty much a hip hop fan's dream.

Additionally, the London event will be getting a new (and greener) home in Finsbury Park, whilst Wireless will also be happening in Birmingham simultaneously for the first time ever. With a line up like that, it'd be unfair to keep it just to London, right?

Here's 8 reasons why Wireless Festival 2014 is going to be the best year yet.
