Live Nation have announced Tiscali have been appointed 'official internet partner' for the upcoming Wireless festivals in London and Leeds. They web company will webcast acts from the main stage at the London branch of the festival via a bespoke microsite on their music channel. I think they will basically be repurposing the content Live Nation film for existing partners O2 and Channel 4, though don't quote me on that.
Confirming the partnership, Live Nation Creative Partnership Director Michael Philippides told CMU: "To have Tiscali on board as our official internet partner, makes the 02 Wireless Festival an even more exciting proposition for our consumers. Tiscali will provide a great service, not only appreciated by the music loving public, but also by the artists appearing. Our partnership with Tiscali will go a long way to ensure artist performances are available in any manner the fans chose to access, way beyond the boundaries of Hyde Park".
Tiscali Online Media Director Alex Hole added: "We are delighted to be sponsoring the 02 Wireless Festival. Having proved that both our live and edited production is of the highest quality, we are looking forward to working with such an excellent line-up to ensure that these fantastic performances are able to be viewed during and long after the festival has finished".
Tiscali have webcast sets from the Reading Festival, produced by the Live Nation owned Mean Fiddler, for the last two years.
