O2 WIRELESS MUSIC FESTIVAL (LEEDS) 2006

Taking place over the same weekend as a longer, five-day event in London, Wireless Leeds follows the same formula - a series of day-long shows mixing massive, world-renowned acts with emerging underground talent.

Spread across three venues, the action starts from 1pm (Thursday, Friday) or 2pm (Saturday, Sunday) with the music continuing until about 10.30pm. The non-camping event is given its 'festival feel' with the inclusion of stuff like market stalls, 'chill out' areas, acoustic performance space, and street theatre. Around 30,000 people are expected each day.
