Barclaycard Wireless Festival is thrilled to announce that US megastar Nicki Minaj is one of the latest acts confirmed to play the festival on Saturday 7 July. Nero, Tulisa, Knife Party and Dbanj also join the Saturday bill which is headlined by Drake, whilst Pitbull, Cher Lloyd, Madeon, A$AP Rocky and Stooshe have been added to the line up on Sunday 8 July, headlined by Rihanna. Jessie J, Calvin Harris, J.Cole, Example, Wiz Khalifa, Professor Green and Rizzle Kicks, are amongst the other acts that are already confirmed on the weekend’s sizzling line-up. 

Nicki Minaj has firmly put the female rap artist back on the map. Bursting onto the scene in 2010 with her debut album ‘Pink Friday’, the Trinidad-born, New York-raised superstar has gone on to become the first female solo artist ever to have seven singles on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. Boasting countless awards, she’s also collaborated with an enviable line-up of talent including Kanye West, Madonna, and Barclaycard Wireless Festival headliner Rihanna. She recently performed at the 2012 Superstar Bowl XLVI halftime show alongside Madonna and M.I.A and wowed the crowd at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards. Her Barclaycard Wireless Festival performance is sure to be second to none.

Also performing on Saturday 7 July is London DJ duo Nero, their debut album ‘Welcome Reality’ debuted at number 1 in the UK album chart.  Fresh from the release of her debut solo album, the nation’s new sweetheart Tulisa will play Barclaycard Wireless Festival for the first time since she hit the Hyde Park stage with N-Dubz in 2009. Having won a string of awards as part of the pop trio, the Camden born glamazon will be out on her own showcasing her exciting brand new pop tunes.  Aussie DJ duo Knife Party, founded by Pendulum’s Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen, along with London-based Nigerian popstar D’banj have also added their names to Saturday’s impressive line-up. 

A plethora of acts bursting with talent join the line up on Sunday 8 July which is headlined by Rihanna.  Cuban / American rapper Pitbull will hit Barclaycard Wireless Festival for the first time with a party set full of hits.  His massive anthem ‘I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)’ gave him his first UK top 10 hit while last year’s ‘Give Me Everything’ topped the UK charts. With her genre-baiting, tempo-twisting style, pop sensation Cher Lloyd has become a formidable force on the UK pop scene, first single ‘Swagger Jagger’ from debut album ‘Sticks and Stones’ entered at number one on the UK Singles Chart,

brand new single "Want U Back" is out this week.  17-year-old French producer powerhouse Madeon, hotly tipped Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky and South East London girl trio StooShe also join the sensational Sunday bill.
