April was a pretty busy month in music – just a quick read through the music news will tell you that. Kasabian announced their new album, Liam Gallagher sent everyone into a mini-meltdown about a possible Oasis reunion, Glastonbury announced the first raft of acts for this years festival and there was also the small…
The (almost) full line-up for this years Glastonbury Festival has been revealed this morning – confirming Kasabian as headliner alongside Arcade Fire as well as announcing another 80 or so names to the bill. The only surprise is that the third headliner is still not confirmed – with the line-up including a ‘Special Guests’ in…
Last year the full Glastonbury line-up was revealed on 27 March, and as there’s no reason to suggest this year’s line-up won’t be announced at around the same date I think it’s time for a round-up of all the latest rumours and news about this years Glasto. First up, here are the bands we already…
Leicester rock favourites Kasabian are reportedly set to be announced as a headliner for this years Glastonbury festival, as bookies William Hill have suspended betting on it. The rumours about Kasabian headlining go back to a while, but today is the first ‘concrete’ suggestion that they are definitely playing the Worthy Farm festival in June….
The worst-kept secret in the music world was finally confirmed today as a reformed OutKast were announced as the first headliner of this years Coachella.

Arcade Fire have today announced a huge gig at Dublin’s Marlay Park for 29 June. The date happens to fall on the Sunday of next years Glastonbury, which has inevitably led to speculation that Arcade Fire won’t be playing at Worthy Farm in 2014. I suppose there’s wriggle room for them to headline the Friday…
Tickets for Arcade Fire’s massive show at Earls Court on Friday 6 June go on sale tomorrow (Friday 29 November). If the demand for tickets for their recent UK tour is anything to go by, tomorrow morning is going to see a big rush for tickets – so to give you the best chance possible…
Arcade Fire aren’t doing anything by halves as they continue to push new album Reflektor down our throats, and have today revealed another video for album track ‘Afterlife’. To be fair though, the new video is pretty impressive. Directed by Emily Kai Bock it’s a stylish and powerful exploration of people’s dreams and inner psyche….
After a pretty mental promo campaign for new album Reflektor, it was good to hear Arcade Fire get down to some more traditional promotion last night with an appearance on Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 show. During the session they played new album tracks ‘Reflektor’, ‘Afterlife’ and ‘Normal Person’. Win Butler also dropped a major hint…
