Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Q-Tip at Wireless Festival 2009

Last week it was announced that Kanye West and Basement Jaxx are headlining London’s biggest music event, Wireless 2009.

Now to the delight of music fans everywhere – some of the biggest names in the urban industry have been confirmed on the line up across the weekend of 4th and 5th July. The Sunday show will see Kanye headline alongside former ATCQ member Q Tip, Flo Rida, Kid Cudi, Daniel Merriweather, Mr Hudson and the Grammy nominated rapper Young Jeezy. The Saturday show will feature The Streets, Dizzee Rascal, Paul Oakenfold and the formidable sounds of Basement Jaxx. With many more names to be announced for both days – this year’s Wireless is completely unmissable!

Rapper and singer KID CUDI (aka Scott Mescudi) marked his arrival on the musical map in style earlier this year with debut single, ‘Day N Nite’. The anthemic hip-house masterpiece hogged the charts for months and has amassed an incredible 21 million plays on Cudi’s MySpace page. NME have dubbed him “the next rap megastar” whilst The Guardian have declared him “the hottest new hip-hop artist in the US”. With a debut album on the horizon for later in 2009 expect to hear eagerly anticipated new material at this show from the Kid named Cudi.
