NEWS - Alphabeat pull out of Wireless 2010!
Organisers have announced that everyone's favourite Danish popstars, Alphabeat, have had to pull out of  Wireless sponsored by Barclaycard tomorrow evening due to illness in the band.

The band have issued a statement for everyone planning to catch them:

As you may have heard (read on Twitter) Anders SG began to struggle with some throat problems a few days ago and it hasn't become better. He has lost his voice and is ill. Therefore, we're very sorry and sad to announce that we have to cancel Wireless this weekend ...

We hope he'll get well soon so that we can get back on tour and play for all you guys again.

Stay fresh and enjoy the Summer out there!”
