Singer songwriter Mahalia has described Wireless Festival as a “penis fest” after its predominantly male line-up was announced.

The annual London music festival is currently scheduled to take place in September. It will feature both US and UK stars including Future, Skepta and Migos as the headliners.

Other artists on this year’s lineup include AJ Tracey, Lil Uzi Vert, Nines, Meek Mill, and D-Block Europe.

Three-time Grammy award winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion will also be performing at the festival. However, many have questioned why she is so low on the line-up and not headlining the show despite her popularity and success.

When the line-up was first announced, Mahalia tweeted: “Wireless back at it again with the penis fest. Whew I’m tired.”

Fans also took to Twitter to share their own frustrations with some saying they will not be “wasting” money to attend the two-day festival.

Presenter, Harry Pinero even said: “Nah Wireless are violating with that line up, there are BARE ladies who have shelled this year and should be there.”

While another said they believed the festival organisers were running out of money and that is the reason they “failed to get good artists on” - a reason many have disputed.

The Standard has approached Wireless for comment on questions surrounding the line-up.

A new batch of tickets will go on sale from midday on Thursday and will be available to buy here.
