This is not the key to success
Producer, DJ, record label executive and Snapchat superstar DJ Khaled was due to headline London’s Wireless festival on Sunday.
However, early on Sunday, it was announced that Khaled would not be appearing, due to ‘travel issues’.
Wireless confirmed the news on Twitter, indicating that they were working on a replacement.
Due to travel issues DJ Khaled will not be performing but we are working on something special that won’t disappoint…

Fans noticed something seemed a little fishy though. Only fourteen hours earlier, Khaled had tweeted a photo of him relaxing in a pool with his son.
And it was the caption that really riled people up:
Still on vacation!!!!!!!!

Another tweet didn’t do him any favours.

Friday night at Wireless was headlines by J Cole and Post Malone, with Migos and Stormzy topping the bill on Saturday. Giggs and Rae Sremmurd are also set to play on Sunday, but on the Wireless website, the top spot for the day currently says ‘TBA’.
