Badly Drawn Boy plays tribute to Joe Strummer at Hyde Park

Faithless were greeted by hoards of dedicated fans tonight (June 15) as they headlined the Main Stage at the O2 Wireless Festival.

Gracing the stage at just before 9pm, frontman Maxi Jazz quietly took a bow and soaked in the adoring crowds before he ploughed into a set which mixed old and new songs.

Kicking off with crowd favourite ’Insomnia’, Jazz introduced “new song” ’Hope & Glory, before rousing the audience with the likes of ’God Is A DJ’ and ’We Come 1’.
