new stage for Hyde Park's Wireless with Burning Leaves, and Duke Spirit

There is to be a new stage at the Wireless Festival which happens in Hyde Park, London from Thursday 3rd to Sunday 6th July. The stage will be hosted in association with leading independent label, Bella Union. This stage will feature both Bella Union artists and associated acts from like minded independent labels.

The Bella Union Stage features new artists such as Burning Leaves, Peter Von Poehl, and Paul Marshall, alongside well known independent artists such as Duke Spirit, Loney Dear, Adem, Emmy The Great, Semifinalists, and an array of rising-stars such as El Guincho, Wildbirds, and Peacedrums.

Bella Union was set up in 1997 by Cocteau Twins' Simon Raymonde, who said, "" It's been a really lovely couple of weeks putting this together and has shown me how much people seem to genuinely love what the label is trying to do here, and the feedback from all of those who will be appearing and even those who couldn't make it, has been little short of staggering. The team here at Bella Union is just small, but we have had great fun in putting the bills together and now we're just excited to get to Hyde Park and see it all happening."

There have also been additions to all the stages at the festival with the main stage adding David Jordan, The Cool Kids, Deadmau5, Neon Neon, and Ryan Shaw. The Tuborg Stage has added Red Snapper, Bryn Christopher, Kid Sister, Yelle, Magistrates, Sea Wolf, Why?, Das Pop, Innerpartysystem, Lords Of Flatbush, Hearts Revolution, The Slips, and Sons Of Albion.
