Rapper Ambush has put forward a festival concept that has quickly gained public attention following confirmation that Wireless Festival will not be going ahead this year. With many music fans expressing frustration over the cancellation, the rapper took to Instagram to propose an alternative idea he has named the Our Thing Festival, which he has described as a potential solution for those still hoping to experience a large scale summer event.

In his post, he shared a mock up festival poster outlining a three day event scheduled for 19 to 21 July. Although he made it clear that nothing is confirmed or organised at this stage, the idea has already generated significant conversation online.

The poster he shared included 10 stages, each with its own theme and proposed headliners. The main stage, titled the Top Boy Stage, was listed with major names including Dave, Stormzy, Central Cee, D-Block Europe and Drake.

Another stage, called the G Street Stage, featured artists such as;

Potter Payper, Digga D and Nines.

The Enjoyment Stage lineup included names like;

J Hus, Burna Boy, NSG and Mostack.

The Ram Stage listed acts including;

Giggs, Skrapz, Ambush and Tion Wayne.

The Eskimo Stage featured grime legends such as;

Wiley, Skepta and JME.

Other stages included the Original Stage with;

Supa D, Pioneer, Coldsteps and Terminal 4.

The Sweet One Stage included;

Jorja Smith, Ella Mai and Tems.

The New Kid Stage listed rising names such as;

Nemzz and EsdeeKid.

The Culture Stage included Vybz Kartel, Mavado and Popcaan.

Finally, the Cool Kids Stage featured;

Little Simz, Knucks and Enny.

Sharing the concept online, Ambush wrote,

“I don't wanna hear nuttin, this would be a shubeeenz and all these artist are UK artists don't be on this list under each different stage! The culture could put up so many sponsors with out Pepsi and all these guys would be mad aswell. Just saying what do you guys think?”

At The Shade Borough, we put out a poll asking our residents whether they would be interested in the concept if it ever became a real event. With more than 12.5 thousand responses, 71% said they would be down for it and 29% said not so much.

Among the comments submitted under the concept, one person wrote,

“Lets be positive and support!” Another said, “Love the concept but too many conflicting artists, would be one big drama”. A third comment read, “This is a step in the right direction although its currently theoretical”.

Although nothing has been formally organised or announced, public reaction appears optimistic and many fans have expressed excitement at the possibility of a homegrown festival celebrating major UK talent. For now, the idea remains a concept, and supporters will be waiting to see whether it develops further in the coming weeks.
