DiS announces DiS stage at Wireless '05!
Drowned in Sound here announces our own Drowned in Sound Stage at this year's Wireless Festival in Hyde Park, London town.
Sitting just beneath the main and second (or XFM if you like) stages, the DiS stage (in conjunction with Drowned in Sound Recordings) serves a purpose of promoting new, young and up and coming bands in the country. Many of which we've championed in these here virtual pages with gusto and aplomb. Though not entirely completed, here's a good idea of what's coming up over the three days (we're not doing the Basement Jaxx day, cos like, we're rubbish at dance).
The line ups are as follows: (running order TBC on all days)
Friday 24th June (New Order day)
Yeti
Tegan And Sara
The Boxer Rebellion
Battle
The Rogers Sisters
Komakino
Wednesday 29th June (Keane day)
Martha Wainwright
New Rhodes
The Blue Van
The Shore
She Wants Revenge
Special Needs
Thursday 30th June (Kasabian day)
JJ72
Apartment
Mainline
Cherubs
Blackbud
You can buy tickets from www.ticketmaster.co.uk and an array of other usual ticket vendors.

We ok'd a few of them as the site has been supportive/championed the acts.
I have to concede there are a couple of bands I've never heard of (nor written about) and at least 1 not mentioned here, who we really don't like.
But then, it's a festival with Keane and Kasabian playing, not All Tomorrows Parties or Meltdown, Coachella, Truck or even Reading, so it's a little different to what DiS is all about, but a baby step towards making DiS a more 'known' name.
Overall the whole festival does have a very DiS feel, especially the X-fm stage with Rilo Kiley and The Dears, Ladytron and Do Me Bad Things.
