Clear Channel formally launched its new getLIVE website yesterday. I know this, because I was eating their barbecued burgers while they did it. getLIVE.co.uk will feature comprehensive listings, ticket sales facilities and merchandise services for all kinds of music and entertainment, with the aim of becoming the ultimate hub for live entertainment online.
The launch took place backstage at the third day of Clear Channel's Wireless Festival in Hyde Park, which saw Do Me Bad Things, Echo and the Bunnymen, People In Planes, James Blunt and the fabulous Supergrass take to the stage (Keane were also playing, but we went home before they went on stage, worried Keane's melodic warbling would destroy the sheer euphoria we felt after Supergrass' storming performance).
Wireless wraps up today with Cherubs, JJ72, Black Velvets, Editors, Ladytron, The Rakes, Ceasars, the wonderful Soulwax, Babyshambles (if he shows) and Kasabian all on stage. Details at http://www.wirelessfestival.co.uk).
