Wireless 2024: Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, 21 Savage, Future, Ice Spice & More Blaze

Published: Tuesday 16th Jul 2024 by Sam

The Wireless Festival 2024 brought the heat with many of music’s heaviest hitters.

Housed in London’s Finsbury Park, this year’s installment of the world-renowned spectacle welcomed over 100,000 revelers across an electrifying three days.

As has become a trademark for Wireless, the stacked lineup was defined by an eclectic array of acts including Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, 21 Savage, Future, Ice Spice, Gunna, Sexyy Red, and Sean Paul – all of whom blazed the stage.

Special guests included Central Cee (who surprised during Ice Spice’s set) and Skillibeng (who joined Minaj).

TGJ’s Top Wireless 2024 Performances

Doja Cat

A fierce force on stage, the eclectic star shone with hits such as ‘Say So,’ ‘Agora Hills,’ and #1 smash ‘Paint The Town Red.’

Since blazing onto the scene, Doja has become renowned for high-octane spectacles – fusing hyper-hot bars with electrifying choreography and stellar vocal prowess. And her showing at Wireless encapsulated all in earnest.

Perhaps most fascinating is that, despite her reputation for dazzling ensemble dance numbers, Doja commanded the stage and the capacity crowd sans any dancers. An army of one, she triumphed in what served – for us – as the highlight of the entire festival.

Doja reminded why she is one of today’s most captivating performers and despite her immense success, we get the sense that she’s just getting started.

Nicki Minaj 

Rap’s reigning Queen turned Finsbury Park into Gag City and we were aptly…gagged.

Minaj’s headlining set on Day 1 of Wireless delivered grandiosity and back-to-back bangers.

It’s no secret that the femcee has released a gargantuan amount of material over the course of her illustrious career, but witnessing her seismic set contextualized just how much of an indelible mark she continues to make in music.

Naturally, Onika’s latest album, ‘Pink Friday 2,’ received ample shine by way of hits such as ‘Super Freaky Girl’ and ‘FTCU,’ while Minaj made sure to serve up certified classics like ‘Monster’ and ‘Moment For Life.’

A regal showing from the royal.

Gunna

Despite being omnipresent on the global festival circuit, Gunna delivered a turbo-charged, high-energy set that shook the foundation of Finsbury Park.

Firing off round after round of rousing bops like ‘f*kumean’ and ‘Drip Too Hard,’ the MC ignited them live with a seasoned stage presence.

*********

Ice Spice 

Making her Wireless return, Ice Spice scorched the stage. Armed with her trademark cadence and that unmistakable New York flow, the rising rapstress twerked up a storm to smashes ‘Princess Diana’ and ‘Barbie World,’ as well as recent cuts like ‘Think U The Sh*t (Fart)’ from her forthcoming album ‘Y2K.’

Central Cee sealed what was already a resonating set with a surprise collaborative performance of their new anthem ‘Did It First.’

Holistically, a solid showing from Ice.
