Wireless Festival

miss annie

Back this year. It's their 10th anniversary and, according to the press release, will be bigger and better than ever before. Whether it's better depends entirely on personal music tastes I suppose. Unsurprisingly I have only vaguely heard of two of the turns.

Sutent

Looks like they have poetry this year. His name is George. I haven't heard of him..

NorthNineteen

George the Poet is excellent.

Sutent

What kind of poetry does he read? I love the poetry tent at Glastonbury

ADGS

I love some Nicki Minaj, but if she's on right after Guetta odds are it'll be her worst, 'EDM'-leaning stuff she prioritises instead. And does 'bigger' mean this time more of the park will be off-limits for even longer? Joy.

Mirandola

Kendrick! Otherwise, meh. Agree with ADGS abou Minaj.

Mirandola

Or even 'about'.

Ali

Got a leaflet through the door with booking for locals with no booking fee

Luirette

Bah. Local Community groups will again be booted out of the park. The event impacted the disabled cycling club for several weeks last year. I have nothing good to say about the wireless festival and if it has to happen I don't think it should be inflicted on the same community year after year.

ADGS

Concur. <div><br></div><div>As to their 'generous' offer - booking fees are already a bullshit scam. Letting the victims worst-affected by the ghastly event off one extra indignity should we want to attend is the most insulting sop imaginable. </div>

NorthNineteen

@sutent I don't really know poetry so I'm just going to call it 'urban'...  He's a rapper too.<br>

NorthNineteen

Is the same restrictions for residents tickets this year? I seem to remember I was just outside the area...<br>
