Hi guys
I'm going to my first o2 wireless festival on Sunday 5th July to see Kanye West, Kid Cudi and other excellent artists. 
Is anyone else from here going?
Has anyone been before? what will it be like. how many stages are there?
thanks
Rjohnso

I've been a few times & going again for the Basement Jaxx day.
It's always well organised, the only thing is that they sometimes put acts in the covered stages that just get rammed full.
& of course, you can't beat going back to your own bed each night !!

I want to go... but no idea how its set up.
Is it just one stage then? I want to be at the front for Kanye West! But I guess if I leave the front... I won't be able to go back.
Thanks

Went a few years back to see Depeche Mode & Goldfrapp...also went last year to see Underworld & Fat Boy Slim
Usually has around 6 tents spread out over the park BUT these can get rammed - Underworld last year was unbearable.
The outside stage is fine though - great location & has a more chilled atmos than other festivals.

How easy is it to move around the tents?

The Outside stage is sat in the middle of the park with the the tents spread around the outside making it easy to move between them all. If anyone you want to see is playing in one of the tents then I reccommend you get there well before they start as you might have to queue or not get in at all.

i went a few years back on my mates stag weekend , this is the main stage,(me on the right)
the other "tents" were set to the back right and left
There was one tent that only o2 phone users could go into ,so if you can borrow somebody's phone you might get to see a few more bands
