We are on-site at the Yahoo Wireless Festival today in London reporting live for the Summer Festival Guide. Keep an eye out here on who we are seeing backstage, the latest performances from today's lineup including headliner Jay-Z and much more!
13:00: We are en-route to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, its slightly overcast but the overall forecast is for a burning 30 deg so make sure you bring your sunscreen and your best summer atire! Remember to keep hydrated!
14:20: Just arrived on-site at Wireless, the main stage area is already packed to the sounds of DJ Fresh who has the crowd jumping with "The Power" and a remix of White Stripes "Seven Nation Army".
15:45: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis come out to the Wireless sunshine and run through their hits "Thrift Shop" and their current massive hit "Can't Hold Us". Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is basking in this sunshine and the crowd are completely up for everything coming at them today.
So far we have sat down and talked to Taboo from Black Eyed Peas who performed in the Pepsi Max arena early and saw olympic gold medalist James Degale enjoying the music!
16:30: Up on stage is Miguel who is back for his second Wireless performance after a smashing performance last night. Playing a similar style set as last night, the crowd was treated to his reindition of "Stir it Up" and more!
17:00: The crowd is building up for the enterance of compton rapper Kendrick Lamar.
17:30: Sat in the blazing sun we catch the begining of Kendrick Lamer's set. With his DJ commanding the crowd to through their "W's" in the air, Kendrick comes out swinging with the title track of his Album "M.A.D.D city", and going through hits A$AP collaboration "Fu*kin Problems" and into "Money Trees" and "B*tch dont kill my vibe". Kendrick's coolness and chilled out style on stage flows into the crowd. Standing in the middle of the audience I see heads bopping up and down and W's being thrown up in the air.
18:30: Rita Ora is blowing up the main arena with her massive hit "Radioactive" and has now just got the crowd literally jumping out of their clothes for "Hot Right Now" with a special apperance by DJ Fresh who was on the stage earlier on.
18:40: We just got word that the special guest on stage in the Pepsi Max arena is no other than Tinie Tempah!!!!
19:00: Rita Ora is belting out covers of The Neptunes "She wants to move" and surprises the crowd with some Biggie Smalls "Big Poppa" & "Juicy".
19:10: With word that Tinie Tempah is at the Pepsi Max arena spreading through the crowd, I make my way through the main stage over the bridge to the tent. As I proceed closer, I can hear the sounds of "Drinking from the bottle" blasting from the speaker stacks. The arena is so crowded that people spill out about 10 meters deep from the tent! I manage to get a glimpse of Tinie on the video screen in an outside tent.
19:45: Scotish songstress Emile Sande immediately commands the stage with her massive hit "Heaven" and then into "When I sleep". With the crowd singing alongside her as the sun begins to set over London, Emile is the perfect act to warm the crowd up before hiphop superstar and tonights headliner Jay-Z takes to the stage.
21:00: The crowd has flocked to the Main Arena to watch headliner Jay-Z take to the stage.
21:20: 60,000 are on hand to see Jay-Z hit the main stage. Looking slick in a white shirt with a huge gold chain, he kicks off with the crowd singing anthem "Public Service Announcement". With the crowd chanting H.O.V. this is just the begining of what is set to be a memorable performance. Announcing that his new album Magna Carta has gone number one in the UK, he kicks off with "Tom Ford", one of the latest singles from his new album. We emerse ourself in the crowd to listen to "Empire State of Mind", another new track "Picaso Baby", and "Run this town". Jay-Z's smooth lyrical delivery and ability to control the crowd reminds us why he is still one of the hottest rappers in the world.
22:30: The majority of the crowd still remain to see out Jay-Z's performance when he introduces suprise guest Justin Timberlake to perform the first track of his new album Holy Grail. The surprise is one that gets the crowd going crazy and singing along to the track. The night is signed off with Jay and Justin both walking off the stage and the crowd making a swift exit to get home.
