The Rascals swell to a four-piece for festival set

Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner has made a surprise appearance at the O2 Wireless Festival in London this afternoon (July 4).

The singer joined The Rascals – fronted by his The Last Shadow Puppets collaborator Miles Kane – on the Sandisk Stage at the Hyde Park event.

Turner picked up his guitar and played along with the Wirral trio on 'Is It Too Late'.

The festival continues, with Beck and headliner Morrissey among those set to play. Stay tuned to NME.COM for a full report.
