Kanye To Headline Wireless 09

Wireless 2009 sponsored by Barclaycard are very proud to announce Kanye West as the headline act for Sunday 5th July 2009 in Hyde Park.

Arguably the biggest, most sensational hip-hop superstar in the world, this is his only UK show announced for 2009. Since his first album release in 2004, The College Dropout, Kanye West has been cited as one of the most original and influential stars in the hip-hop scene. He has produced and written with a wide range of musicians including Jay Z, Lil Wayne, Alicia Keys, Ludacris, Estelle (with whom he had a number one hit in the UK last year), Jamie Foxx and has just finished producing the new album for UK artist Mr Hudson.

Earlier this year he picked up a Brit Award for Best International Male following the release of his fourth album 808's & Heartbreak, and his sold out shows at the O2 in London and around the UK received illustrious reviews. A catalogue of hits including Gold Digger, Through The Wire, Stronger, Diamonds From Sierra Leone and Heartless will make this show undoubtedly one of the finest performances seen in Hyde Park and a full supporting bill will be announced soon. After 2008's spectacular performance by Jay Z, Kanye West is set to establish Hip-Hop's place in Hyde Park.
