This has sparked mixed emotions on Twitter. BBC 1Xtra DJ Nick Bright tweeted:

"Only Londoners will make out Wireless moving from Finsbury Park to Crystal Palace Park is like moving it to Russia or something."

Another tweeted: "So Wireless has relocated from Finsbury Park to Crystal Palace, I've had my time with that festival. I'll pass."

The festival booked a vast array of huge headliners that have continued to grow in success and chart accolades since the line-up announcement last year. So festival-goers are eagerly awaiting line-up announcements as it is yet to be confirmed whether the 2020 lineup remains the same:

Friday: A$AP Rocky, D-Block Europe, Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug
