U2 to headline Glastonbury 2010: confirmed

U2

Good lord. Bono and his invisible private jet will be landing in Somerset to to play next year’s Glastonbury, breaking away from their north American tour (such selflessness) to help the festival celebrate its 40th anniversary.

So that’s why tickets were released (and sold out) so quickly?

Come on Eavis, tell us some news: “I promised the the best possible line-up for the show next year and the confirmation that U2 will play their first ever Glastonbury – and their first major festival gig since the early 1980s – is fantastic news. “We’ve been trying for years… And now we’ve finally made it happen. I’m sure they will pull out all the stops to make next year’s Glastonbury the most memorable ever.”

Yeah, enjoy that…

Doughty, formerly of alt-rock band Soul Coughing, is pretty popular in the States, but relatively unknown here.  My question referred to selling himself to us in the style of a dating [...]

Win tickets to see Casiokids in London

Casiokids.jpg

Norway's electro pop quintet CASIOKIDS play Camden’s Barfly on February 25, and we're giving away a pair of tickets.

After the release of a few stellar singles in 2009, 2010 is looking exciting for this lot. Their bouncy percussive basement music, eerie melody and distorted bass are the product of inspiration from such diverse sources as Paul Simon's 'Graceland', Ivor Cutler, King Tubby, Bob Hund, Cornelius And Fela Kuti.

To win tickets, just answer the following question:

Which label are CASIOKIDS signed to?
