If you’re already filling in your 2023 calendar with important dates, then make sure you don’t miss March 11th, as Wireless Festival is coming to Abu Dhabi, Yas Island.
What is Wireless Festival?
Wireless Festival is Europe’s largest and most epic celebration of black music and pop culture. This one-day extravaganza features major performances from the world’s biggest superstars across hip-hop, urban, rap, R&B, grime, dance, and more, and it’s coming here to the Middle East.
What to expect?
This year, Abu Dhabi will see a flock of people flood in from around the world, joining and coming together at Yas Island which is set to be the event of the year. There will be multiple stages with over 15 live performances, delicious food and beverage drinks to choose from and exciting activations to keep the vibe going non-stop.
No details have been announced as to where Wireless Festival 2023 will take place. In the UK, Wireless Festival usually takes place in Hyde Park, which means Wireless Festival 2023 could potentially take place in one of Abu Dhabi’s great parks, or even a golf club. Check back here as we’ll update this page as soon as we know more.
Who will be performing?
There are yet to be announcements on who is performing at the festival, but previously, Jay-Z, A$AP Rocky, J. Cole, Tyler The Creator, Cardi B, Sza, Nicki Minaj, Dave, 6lack, Doja Cat, Jhené Aiko, Kali Chis, Mahalia, Lil Uzi Vert, and Megan Thee Stallion have all been on the Wireless stage.

How much are the tickets?
As this is the first time Wireless is debuting in Abu Dhabi, there have not yet been any price announcements. However, tickets in London Hyde Park, where Wireless Festival normally takes place, go for around Dhs350 which gives people a ballpark on what to expect for 2023.
What should I wear?
Although outfit guidelines have not yet been written, due to the weather and the festival being outdoors, funky dresses, crop tops, shorts, sneakers, and sunnies are the go-to outfits we have seen posted so far. It’s all about looking stylish and being comfortable as you will be dancing all day, and all night.
We have put together some outfit choices worn by some influencers at Wireless. It might be a good idea to do a GRWM Instagram Reel or YouTube Shorts for others’ ideas on what to wear.
Tam Kaur
We chose Tam on our listing as we love her accessory choice. Tam did a sleek ponytail, round black sunglasses, and a gorgeous gold jewelry/hair accessory piece. This statement piece connected to her face and hair is the perfect look for her all-black outfit adding a cool, funky, and cultural touch.
Faced by Reem
Makeup artist Reem has got it perfectly right with her makeup look for Wireless. She is not only wearing a bright colour to stand out from the crowd, but she also dazzles us with the diamonds on her eyelids. This is the perfect substitute for eyeliner if you want to be artistic and add a differentiating, unique touch to your final beauty look.
DJ Nish
DJ Nish has it right with her brightly coloured pink trousers, white top (which is currently on trend this 2023), finished off with white trainers. Sometimes it’s not all about going OTT with your outfit, but making a statement with just one piece of clothing. Tell me you wouldn’t notice these neon pink trousers if they walked past you? Exactly!
Fjolla Kras
Dare to dare? Fjolla has gone for beach waves, with a matching yellow co-ord set and a chain accessory on her body. The main thing is, the accessories! The body chain, earrings, handbag, sunglasses, rings, and bracelet is not much at all as it works perfectly well and giving us mermaid vibes.
Anna Clip
Butterfly baby, Ann Clip is glowing at Wireless Festival with her blush pink cowlneck top and belted white skirt. Anna adds a red lip, matching her firey red hair, with clear sunglasses and a butterfly necklace. It’s all about showing who you are and showing your style off!
Remember, it’s all about showing off your personality and who you are. Wireless Festival is a place where you can come together with your friends to just let go and have fun. Feel comfortable and feel free as you dance to your favourite songs by popular artists as well as take memorable pictures and videos to capture the night.
