Earlier this week, Lily Allen criticised the Wireless Festival line-up for only including three women.

The three-day London event will take place at Finsbury Park between July 6-8, and will be headlined by J. Cole, Stormzy, and DJ Khaled.

Allen posted a new version of the line-up poster on Twitter with all the male artists playing removed. The only acts remaining on the poster are Mabel, Cardi B, and Lisa Mercedez. She captioned the post: “The struggle is real”.

Allen recently revealed that she once turned down the opportunity to play a gig and be paid in “hundred of thousands of Bitcoin” – which would now be worth billions, making her richer than Madonna and Queen Elizabeth II.
