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. 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….right on your door step. Creating a truly exciting and totally authentic live outdoor music atmosphere four stages will be erected at London’s Hyde Park, along with the original acoustic band stand allowing people to pull up a deck chair and chill out to the melodic sounds. But it’s not just about the music, with a thrilling fairground, chill out areas, street theatre, performance art, markets, world food caterers and a five aside football pitch, the O2 Wireless Festival 2007 goes the extra mile and offers the 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 Londoners, festival organisers have also arranged secure lockers that can be booked in advance. These ensure that locals can jump off the tube, pop their valuables in a locker and leave the day behind them, as they enjoy this fantastic 4 day festival. 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. We’re proud to have been involved since the start and seen it flourish over the past three years,” said Sally Cowdry, marketing director, O2 UK. “Once again, O2 customers will be able to benefit from an enhanced Festival experience, including advanced access to tickets, special areas on site and lots more.
