London - The O2 Wireless Festival concerts staged in London last week by wireless carrier Tiscali and promoter Live Nation drew more than 55,000 viewers for its live webcast, a record for Tiscali, Billboard reported. The festival's bill included performances by the White Stripes, Kaiser Chiefs, LCD Soundsystem and Daft Punk -- although the latter was among three acts to decline to be included in the live webcast. The performances will also be made available for on-demand streaming by Tiscali.
