O2 Wireless Festival 2008
London’s Hyde Park
3 July through 6 July 2008
Four days and four stages of stand out talent, including some of the biggest names in rock, pop, dance and everything in between—it’s the O2 Wireless Festival 2008, the coolest festival in the heart of the city. Taking place in London’s Hyde Park over four days in July, the O2 Festival is in its fourth year and 2008 is looking like yet another
blockbuster event.
The festival starts off on Thursday, 3 July and runs through Sunday, 6 July 2008 and plays host to four nights of incredible lineups and cutting-edge bands. The O2 Wireless Festival transforms the heart of the city with pounding beats, dance tunes, rocking grooves, sunshine, beer and that famous festival atmosphere; a definite change from the usual Hyde Park mix as concertgoers enjoy market stalls, food vendors and of course, an almost overwhelming array of the hottest music around.
