Wireless Festival Middle East, Europe's largest celebration of urban music and pop culture, is thrilled to announce the addition of rap sensation Playboi Carti and his collective, Opium, to its star-studded line-up. Known for his distinctive sound and cultlike following, Playboi Carti will bring his iconic energy and unique musical vision to the Wireless stage, accompanied by Opium artists Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely, and Homixide Gang. Together, they promise to showcase a new wave of dark rap energy inspired by Atlanta’s rage scene and punk’s rebellious aesthetic.
Playboi Carti, the Atlanta-born innovator and founder of Opium, has been instrumental in shaping modern trap music, most notably with his chart-topping albums Die Lit and Whole Lotta Red. His performances are known to be intense, experimental, and visually striking, making him an ideal fit for the Wireless experience. Fans can anticipate a powerful set filled with Carti’s fan-favourite hits and the Opium collective’s signature sounds, which are built on heavy beats, punk-inspired visuals, and gritty lyricism.
In a worldwide exclusive, each member of the Opium collective—Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely, and Homixide Gang—will perform individually as well as collectively alongside Playboi Carti under the name “Opium”. This unique arrangement promises to deliver an electrifying 120-minute set that will captivate the audience with its diversity and intensity. The collective’s extended set time significantly enriches the festival’s lineup, offering fans an unforgettable experience with some of urban music’s most innovative and dynamic talents, exclusively at Wireless Festival Middle East.
The addition of Playboi Carti and Opium comes following SZA’s cancellation. While her absence will be felt, Wireless Festival Middle East is excited to bring fans an equally thrilling experience with Playboi Carti’s genre-defying style and the dynamic Opium crew.
Wireless Festival Middle East will once again take over Etihad Park on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, on November 23rd, bringing together the top names in urban music and pop culture for an unforgettable celebration. Be prepared for an extraordinary showcase from Playboi Carti and Opium, as they deliver one of the most anticipated performances of the festival season.
