Pink will headline the 2010 Wireless festival in London's Hyde Park on July 2.

U.K. alt-rock act the Ting Tings will be special guests on the same date, promoter Live Nation said Tuesday.

Wireless will be staged for the sixth consecutive year in 2010, sponsored by Barclaycard. Previous headliners at the festival, which features four stages, include the White Stripes, Kanye West, Morrissey, Fatboy Slim and Daft Punk.

"Hyde Park is such a legendary place to play, and I feel so honored that I am going to be the first female to headline the festival," Pink said.

Further acts will be announced at a later date. It is understood there will be three Wireless Festival dates on the weekend of July 2-4.

Meanwhile, U.K rapper Dizzee Rascal and dance act Chase & Status are the first artists to be confirmed for the Lovebox Weekender 2010. Dizzee Rascal will headline the first day of the festival, which runs from July 16 to 18. The event in east London's Victoria Park has been expanded to three days for 2010.
