The first weekend of the highly anticipated Wireless festival has come and gone with many amazing moments to speak of. From the star studded line up and spectacular performances to the energy and love from the fans, it is a huge reminder of how important festivals such as these are to build communities and create memoreis that will be remembered for years to come. Nando's took it upon themselves this year to facilitate the event by making their presense felt via a pop up Nando's backstage to feed the performers and the crew of hard-working individuals that make Wireless possible. The Nando's brand is consistently collaborating with the hottest names of the moment and finding new ways to showcase its impact and popularity, it is more than just a restaurant. Born out of South Africa and made famous in the UK, Nando’s has arguably become one of the most embedded aspects in British culture in the past 20 years.

As each day went by, Nando's was on site to make sure talent such as Flo Milli, Bakar, Lancey Foux, J Cole, Lil Uzi Vert, MS Banks, DDG, Chunks, Ghetts, and many more walked away with some Nando's after the exhilarating performances at this year's festival. The multi-talented ASAP Nast even took on a new role as a Nando's Cashier, serving his longtime friend and superstar rapper Lil Uzi Vert!

Backstage at Wireless was the perfect place to wind down and keep your energy up for a long day of live music, dancing, and hectic crowds, here are some of the photos Nando's served us at Wireless, Crystal Palace.

For people curious about The Sarz Academy, how would you describe it? The Sarz Academy is a creative hub for talented people and the way of letting people—becoming creatives, producers, artistes alike—have a chance at making decent music. Basically, what I’m doing is creating the things that I needed during my time, but I did not have. Because there are certain things that I would have doubled down on, certain things I would have invested in, if I had the knowledge.

If you get chosen, you go through a course of training, from music to the music business. As a private person, what would you say you like to do when you’re not producing or in the studio?
