Wireless sponsored by Barclaycard, now in its 7th year, is the premier multi-day festival in the heart of London, set in the stunning surroundings of Hyde Park. Over multiple stages, you get the biggest and best of today’s dance, pop and rock acts mixed with the hippest newcomers.
The now legendary dance day has seen incredible performances from Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx, Underworld, Deadmau5, Dizzee Rascal, Klaxons, 2manydjs, LCD Soundsystem and many more.
Past years have also included stellar headliners such as Jay-Z, P!nk, Depeche Mode, Kasabian, Morrissey, Kanye West, Massive Attack, White Stripes and The Strokes.
Coupled with the amazing music, Wireless hosts an array of festival activity – a massive beer garden, food stalls, chill out areas and interactive games. There’s no camping at Wireless (and no horrible shower queues or muddy tents!), but why would you need that? With a load of tube lines and bus routes going to Hyde Park, getting to and from the festival couldn’t be easier.
Every year gets better and better and 2011 is sure to be no exception!

GENERAL NOTES
All disabled customers are welcome at Barclaycard Wireless, but as it is a greenfield site there are sections of the arena that have uneven ground meaning that sometimes, access is difficult, especially in bad weather conditions. Please bare this in mind when booking for the event. Stewards however, will be around to assist.
Live Nation provide facilities in the arena to accommodate disabled customer's needs. Not all disabled customer's need use of these facilities but we will provide access to whatever is needed and/or a free personal assistant ticket “PA ticket” where required to ensure your stay is comfortable and most of all enjoyable.
ARENA FACILITIES
Viewing platforms are available at the Main, 2nd and 3rd stages and have a strict one plus one policy (disabled customer + their PA's). PA's may be asked to leave the platform when it is busy to avoid overcrowding and we ask all customers to be considerate of others needs.
We will provide access to the viewing platforms for all customers that need use of this facility. This includes, though not exclusively, wheelchair users, customers who are unable to stand for long periods, customers unable to be in large crowds and customers with invisible disabilities.
There are accessible toilets located in most toilet blocks on the site, and specifically by the viewing platforms.
PARKING
Parking - Disabled customer parking arrangements are still to be finalised for all events in Hyde Park, this is due to the closure of several roads and car parks in the local area.
This information will be updated when we have confirmed availability of parking for these events, though we strongly recommend customers make plans to use public transport where possible.

CARBON OFFSETTING
Trying to get to the festival in an environmentally friendly way, but still want to do more? Donate a few pence to negate the carbon emitted by travelling to the festival and we’ll invest it all into environmental projects at local schools.
Climate change is a pressing global issue. Nevertheless, there are things that we can all do.
We are committed to encouraging sustainable transport options to Wireless and would also like to offer customers the opportunity to negate their unavoidable carbon emissions associated with travelling to this event by investing in environmental projects in schools around Hyde Park.
If you would like to participate in this scheme, there is an option to add 50p to your order on the shipping page and we’ll use all the money to fund environmental projects in local schools. Last year we built a garden area at Edward Wilson Primary School and provided them with environmental teaching resources.
