FESTIVAL GUIDE
GETLIPPY HOT PICKS
O2 Wireless 2008
London's Hyde Park is set to shake again this summer with the return of the O2 Wireless Festival to the capital. Over four jumpin' days, the fields of Hyde Park will rock to the sounds of huge headline stars such as Jay Z on Thursday Morrissey on Friday, Fatboy Slim on Saturday and Counting Crows on Sunday. They will all be supported by a long list of happening acts including Mark Ronson, cool-as-you-like Hot Chip and Guillemots.

Along with great music you can unwind in chill out areas, plat hoopla in the Fairground or engage in a spot of retail therapy at the markets.

And if you can't make it to London in July, Wireless are throwing several Weekenders around the country in May...

You'll love it if...
You want to shake your good thing in the great outdoors, but are not a happy camper - there's no camping on any of the days for this London festival so if you baulk at the idea of a day without straightening your hair then this is the one for you.
