O2 WIRELESS FESTIVAL 2007!

• 27th Apr 2007

Datarock, Skye and Good Shoes join the line-up for this summers hottest festival!

Now in its second year the festival with style is back for 2007. From June 15th – 17th the O2 Wireless Festival 2007 will be heading back to Leeds Harewood House for three days of sensational live music and the line-up just keeps getting bigger and better.

First up on June 15th, Alberta Cross and Connan and the Mockasins will join the White Stripes.

Next up, on June 16th emerging Morden lads Good Shoes will take to the stage at Harewood House. Having released their debut album ‘Think Before You Speak’ on March 26th, the four-piece are becoming well known for their upbeat sound and will be added to one stellar line-up for Kaiser Chiefs home coming! Joining them will be Joe Purdy, Kate Nash, The Heights and Richard Swift

Lastly, on June 17th Norwegian band Datarock will take to the stage, about to embark on a UK tour, the duo will show Leeds how it’s done. On the same day the stunning Skye will be singing to the crowds, as the voice of Morcheeba she sound-tracked our lives on albums such as Big Calm, and now she’s stepped in to the limelight herself to perform tracks from her debut album ‘Mind How You Go’. Joining them will be Mutemath, Metronomy, Shy Child, Lou Rhodes, Lucky Jim, Natty and Rosie Oddie.

Now in its third year the O2 Wireless Festival has firmly stamped its mark on the festival map. Last year saw the launch of the festival in Leeds, and both return for 2007, bringing the event back to two of the UK’s most cosmopolitan cities.

This year, for the first time, it will be happy campers all round as the O2 Wireless Festival 2007 will allow camping in the grounds of the spectacular Harewood House. For £25 festival goers can pitch up and camp for one day or for the whole weekend, so take advantage and rock solidly for all three days.

And if that wasn’t enough, look what else we’ve got lined-up for you…

The O2 Wireless Festival will have something for everybody. Not just music, but the ultimate festival experience this summer.

Creating a truly exciting and totally authentic live outdoor music atmosphere three stages will be erected at Harewood House, along with camping being introduced for the first time people can pitch up and rock out for three whole days.

But it’s not just about the music, with a thrilling fairground, chill out areas, street theatre, performance art, markets and world food caterers the O2 Wireless Festival 2007 goes the extra mile and offers music lovers the opportunity to enjoy the very best of the festival experience, plus much more.

Going out of their way to make life easy for all, festival organisers have arranged shuttle buses that ferry the crowds to and from the 3 day experience. For £5 return people can be picked up from Leeds railway train station and dropped off at the festivals front door, how convenient!

Extra special treats are also in store for O2 customers and their friends, courtesy of the O2 blueroom. Simply by texting WIRELESS to 60202, O2 customers will get exclusive access to the O2 blueroom and enjoy their own private stage where the hottest undiscovered bands will be playing everyday.

And if it’s all too much for them, O2 music fans can simply put their feet up in the O2 blueroom and enjoy a drink, whilst receiving an array of healing treatments from Reiki and Kinesiology to relaxing foot and head massages.

“The O2 Wireless Festival goes from strength to strength and this year’s line-up further cements its reputation as one of the UK’s top music events.
