Glastonbury Line up revealed: Minds around the world explode

Posted in News, Tours with tags , , , on April 16, 2010 by keelykov

It’s the week for line up announcements with Splendour In The Grass and Glastonbury both coming out within hours of each other.

For Glastonbury’s 40th year, Michael Eavis has pulled an entire warren of rabbits out of his hat, releasing a line up which destroys feeble music loving minds.

Headlining the three day festival will be U2, Muse and Stevie Wonder. The rest of the bill, though, is where it really starts to heat up! Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg, Flaming Lips, Vampire Weeknnd, Gaslight Anthem, Groove Armada, Mariachi El Bronx, The XX, Scissor Sisters, The Hold Steady, Laura Marling, Faithless, Slash, Orbital & MGMT all make the cut.

Australia has some pretty sweet representation in there as well with Temper Trap, Empire Of The Sun & The Middle East helping to ring in the 40th birthday of the festival.

The line up, in fact, is so intense that I fear it will break my poor little blog, so here, instead is where you can go to find everything you need to know about the line up which has been obviously touched by the gods.

Faithless release new single

Faithless are back!

Yes they are – they’re back – not just back after a four year absence but back….to reclaim the dance floor.

It’s funny that after fifteen years of existence (and well over 10 million records sold) Faithless have never been more relevant; think Calvin Harris’ recent number 1 or the countless tracks with a house groove, riff and rapper, Faithless’ signature sound adopted by many, bettered by none.  Name checked by everyone from Hadouken to Tinchy, this band is legendary, but they are also on tip-top form:

The single – Not Going Home – a club symphony, a 7 minute sonic call-to-arms, released May 7th through Nate’s Tunes/Liberator Music. The album – a feast of groove and emotion – here to show you how it’s done: a culmination of over a decade’s worth of dance floor shaking, stadium-headlining, musical mastery.

Remixes of ‘Not Going Home’ come from Eric Prydz, Armin van Burren, Hervé and Seiji: all in all, it doesn’t come much better.
