With MORRISSEY's only UK festival performance this year as one of the highlights of this year's O2 Wireless Festival, promoters Live Nation are pleased to announce a series of stellar additions to a bill that, aside from the man himself, already includes BECK's only UK festival performance and a set from US rising stars THE NATIONAL.
Joining Morrissey on the 4th July are two punk legends, a Brit and Mercury nominated UK act, one of the UK's most fiercely supported bands and an act tipped across the board to be one of the names of 2008.
With a Top 20 debut album in 'Through The Windowpane', a Mercury nomination for that album and a BRITS nomination for Best British Live Act of 2007, GUILLEMOTS have firmly established themselves as one of the UK'S brightest new bands. www.guillemots.com
Punk legend, emphatic performer, the voice that defined post punk, SIOUXSIE is all of these and many more. Having worked with Morrissey on a single, 'Interlude' in 1994, today brings them back together. www.siouxsiemantaray.com
DIRTY PRETTY THINGS come to O2 Wireless Festival in fine form. www.dirtyprettythingsband.com
In his teenage years, Morrissey was the President of their fan club, now the NEW YORK DOLLS appear on the stage today at his invitation. www.nydolls.org
LIGHTSPEED CHAMPION stands as probably the tip for success in 2008. www.lightspeedchampion.com
