Wireless Fest: News-a-thon
disnews by DiS News June 28th, 2005
Just a brief little update to let you know what's going down in Hyde Park...

The inaugural Wireless Festival has already seen some top artists pass through (not least those playing the much-lauded Drowned in Sound tent) and is set to continue tomorrow and Thursday with headliners Keane & Kasabian.

Those mildly abnormal rockers Soulwax did not go unnoticed this weekend at Glastonbury it seems. They've been moved up to the third headline slot (just before Pete Doherty clambers on to the stage) and will now play at 6.30pm. Their Radio Soulwax event continues to go ahead in the XFM tent from 8pm.

In other Wirele-news, the top-ten chart placing and blindingly well-received first set from Hard-Fi meant they were offered a main stage slot this Thursday. Unfortunately, due to family issues the band are unable to do so - but a lovely gesture Mr. Wireless!

You may also be interested to learn that the rush to catch Mylo in the XFM tent on Saturday caused a security alert to be raised due to the sheer volume of people attempting to enter.

Don't forget to check the front page of DiS for all the artists playing our stages for the closing two days of the festival, including Martha Wainwright, Apartment, New Rhodes and JJ72.
