wireless 2014

[atomised]

Returning on the 4th to 6th July as a dual site event. Birmingham and london with the same acts playing at both

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Interesting. They must have something pretty big lined up if they think they'll sell out both sites.

[tillyandthewall]

Two new venues, presumably the Olympic Stadium is under construction. The Birmingham leg could be Cofton, Canon Hill, Sandwell Valley or even the NEC grounds.

[atomised]

Be interesting to see the venues they go for and what sort of capacity each will be. Can't think of where it'll be in london if not the Olympic park. I guess they could stick to the same area of london and go for Victoria park

[thetime]

Just what the midlands need another pop festival.

[Gucci Piggy]

Who could we see doing this, then? Kanye? Eminem? Tinie Tempah? Example? Avicii? Prodigy? Some of those are maybe too small.

[atomised]

Kanye or eminem could be a good guess. Maybe lady Gaga

yep, correct.

[the wonderwhy]

Well it can't be Hyde Park so Hackney or Finsbury must be the most likely? (Can you fit multiple stages in Finsbury?)

[luckysalt]

oooh Birmingham, I didn't see this coming. Lets hope its better than Fusion Festival's line up, although thats fair enough it was targeted towards a certain audience, I have no problem with that.

I really liked Soundstation Festival that happened in Birmingham in 2006, sadly it didn't come back, great location, good price, great value for your money. Coxon was fantastic as headliner.

Wireless has had some good acts pass through in the past, so I hope next year is one of those years again.

EDIT -

Just realised this is the same weekend as Sonisphere.

[the wonderwhy]

Does this mean they may share or is that very unlikely and Open'er/RW/Sonisphere will probably share acts?

[atomised]

I'm sure Fleadh at finsbury used to have multiple stages

[LondonTom]

yep, correct.

am pretty sure it's gonna be Clapon Common.

Would put good money on Skrillex playing. Can't imagine pressing play for four nights in a row is too much of a strenuous task

Is there ANY chance they could have Arcade Fire?

Their last European date is Sunday June 29th as far as I can see then they have no dates anywhere for a month?

Wireless starts just 5 days after the Dublin date June 29th. I would so be there if they have them.

Nah even if that was a "lie" from the promoter about them having July off, they wouldn't have put on the two Earls Court shows at the beginning of June if they was doing Wireless.

[dentalplan]

Arcade Fire? Are we not expecting the same old shit that has dominated the lineup the past couple of years?
