What to Expect from Wireless 2024

by Lois Geal

As we enter spring and the worst of the winter slog is over, we can finally start unashamedly making our summer festival plans.

One thing to consider adding to your itinerary is Wireless Festival.

Taking place every year in London, the festival had previous residences at Harewood House, Leeds in 2006 and 2007 and at Perry Park, Birmingham in 2014.

Owned and managed by Live Nation, Wireless is one of the most highly anticipated music events of the year, attracting thousands of music lovers and fans from all over the world.

From its humble beginnings in 2005, Wireless Festival has grown to become one of the premier music festivals in the world, with multiple stages showcasing a diverse range of genres including hip-hop, R&B, pop, and electronic music.

And this year’s lineup is no different. Featuring some of the biggest names in the music industry, it promises an unforgettable experience filled with amazing performances and incredible energy.

Bona fide superstars such as Future, 21 Savage, Nicki Minaj, Doja Cat as well as Ice Spice will be attending, best believe that Wireless festival remains the event of choice.

Arguably looking even bigger than last year which was headlined by 50 Cent, Travis Scott, and Lil Uzi Vert.

Nicki Minaj and Future will both be back on the main stage for their fourth Wireless appearances. Ice Spice also returns after her smash set last year, while Doja Cat will be making it a hat-trick.

Then there are some exciting newer acts on the lineup: Texas rapper and producer Teezo Touchdown, Nigerian singer Shallipopi, and South African amapiano star Tyla are all flying in for the occasion, and will be playing alongside London stars Nadia Jae and Snoochie Shy and more.

Whether you’re a fan of chart-topping artists, up-and-coming talent, or simply looking to enjoy a weekend of live music, there’s something for everyone.

One of the highlights of Wireless Festival is its vibrant and energetic atmosphere. The festival attracts a diverse crowd of music enthusiasts, creating a sense of unity and excitement throughout the event.

Tickets for Wireless went on sale at the end of January, and takes place from July 12th to July 14th in Finsbury Park.

Perhaps the summer of 2024 will be our best one yet.

Fashion For a Cause: Brands That Stand with Palestine and the history of fashion as a form of Activism

by Oana-Maria Moldovan For over two months, there has been an ongoing genocide war in Gaza. To simplify a long and horrific issue, the situation that started, on a larger scale, around one hundred years ago, and has only become amplified since October 7th 2023. Taking place around the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and Israel–Lebanon border, the armed conflict is between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups. The problem is about “stolen” land. Said land is seen as an important holy part of both religions involved. But really, how holy can we consider a land to be, if people kill other people for it? It’s important to remember that this genocide is about three things: forced occupation, zionism, and religion. It’s also important to remember what ethnic erasure is. This terrible expresion, also known as cultural or ethnic assimilation, refers to the process by which the distinct cultural or ethnic identity of a particular group is gradually diminished or erased, often due to ext

Now What? The Aftermath of the 'Manic Pixie Dream Girl'

by Susan Moore Here is a bit about me: I am an open, excitable, creative AFAB who is also moderately attractive. I have a unique sense of personal style and a personality that on the surface can only be described as “bubbly” and “quirky”. For this reason, dating is a nightmare. To be sure, I do not have a hard time finding dates or potential suitors. The problems arise when said dates spend some time with me and decide that I am a rare specimen, and the connection they feel with me is “unlike anything they have felt before”. Then, things go one of two ways. Either a) they decide I am too high maintenance and no longer palatable, or b) they choose to never look further than the surface and are content to date the idea of me rather than the real me. There is something rather interesting, perhaps funny, about my situation. It is in no way unique. I have met so many people who constantly dealt with the same problem. Even funnier still, is the fact that there is a trope that simultaneousl
