The New Look Wireless festival may have had a slightly rocky start with dozens of people gate crashing and stampeding, but that didn’t stop festival-goers from checking out their favourite artists and have a lot of fun.
All the music i heard today was excellent #Wireless2015 #WirelessFestival #Wireless

Here are a few things we learned from an incredible day as more than 50,000 music lovers gathered at Finsbury Park.
1. Kendrick Lamar knows how to keep the crowds happy

The American hip hop artist was absolutely rocking.

We didn’t know they were buddies and we now simply can’t cope. The joy!
3. Everyone’s really impressed with Tinashe

Up and coming artist Tinahse blew everyone away with her bluesy vocals and those killer dance moves and told us that her debut album Aquarius has hit the stores.
@Tinashe loved your #Wireless set 🙌

4. The food has a lot to answer for
I just paid £7.50 for a cheeseburger that tasted like the inside of my arsehole #wireless

5. Jordan Dunn knows how to work the latest trends
(Joel Ryan/Invision/AP)
Forget Kate Moss. Jordan Dunn should be your festival style inspo. The supermodel managed to stand out from the crowd with her incredible cartoon-print crop top and knee-length shorts from from Moschino’s Autumn/Winter 2015 line. And her gorgeous pastel highlights are simply to die for.
6. Mary J Blige is pretty much the queen of sass, style and music
(Joel Ryan/Invision/AP)
Not only did she rock the bright red jumpsuits (with cutouts, mind you!), she also wowed her audience with her strong vocals.
Mary J booming it #Wireless
