Glastonbury always pulls out massive headliners, and 2010 is no exception. This year’s line-up could even go down in history as the greatest of all time.

The three headliners for the Glastonbury Festival have now been confirmed. U2 will close Friday night, Muse will end Saturday night, and the whole thing will be finished off on Sunday night by the legend that is Stevie Wonder.
U2 were confirmed a while ago, but Muse and Stevie Wonder were just rumors until now.
Unfortunately for anyone who wants to attend the festival on the strength of the headline acts alone, Glastonbury is already sold out. …read more

Glastonbury provides the pinnacle of the UK festival season every year for most people. Glastonbury has been running for years, and has changed a great deal in that time, becoming a much more focused, well-organized (and consequently expensive) event. Glastonbury 2010 is starting to shape up nicely.

U2 have already been confirmed as the first of the three headline acts. They’re not my cup of tea, and are only now gracing the festival with their presence a little after they peaked, yet they’re still a big name likely to draw a huge crowd.

U2 have now been confirmed to be headlining Glastonbury 2010, and it looks as though Muse will be joining them. Nothing is yet confirmed, instead the news comes courtesy of a Tweet by Jonathan Ross after he had the band on as guests on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross.

Muse were guests on Jonathan Ross’ chat show this week, and while he didn’t talk to them live, he did speak to them off air. He claimed in a Tweet after the show aired that lead singer Matt Bellamy hinted about a possible appearance at Glastonbury.
Ross said:
“Didn’t chat to them on the …read more

U2 have been confirmed to be headlining Glastonbury 2010. It will be the Irish band’s first appearance at the long-running festival. Although they’ve been rumored to appear multiple times through the years they’ve never actually made the final bill. Muse, David Bowie, Coldplay, and The Rolling Stones are rumored to be joining them on the bill.

Speaking on the event’s official website, Glastonburyfestivals.co.uk, organizer Michael Eavis said:
“I promised 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 …read more

The UK music charts may mean less now than they used to but they’re still an indicator of what’s hot on the popular British music scene right now. This week’s Top 10 singles and Top 10 albums are listed below.

This week’s singles chart saw a tight race for number one between Chipmunk and The Saturdays. Chipmunk came out on top with Oopsy Daisy straight in at the top. Last week’s one and two, Jay-Z and Taio Cruz, dropped to three and four. Whitney Houston just missed out on the top ten, with Million Dollar Bill entering the charts at number …read more

Muse are a brilliant, life-affirming, innovative, forward-thinking British band. Glenn Beck is an uninspiring, morbid, doom-mongering, backwards-thinking American commentator. So hardly a match made in Heaven. You would think. But Glenn Beck recently came out as a fan of Muse and their new album, The Resistance. Not that Muse were very happy about his endorsement.

On his September 16 radio show, Glenn Beck spent a couple of minutes waxing lyrical about Muse and The Resistance. He drew comparisons between the lyrics and the novel 1984, which actually isn’t a bad comparison to make. But he didn’t stop there.

A quick look at the Muse category would tell you just quite how big a fan of the band I am. And it’s not just me that thinks so, with their popularity growing both in the UK and beyond. In fact, Muse’s new album, The Resistance, is selling well around the world and proving the band are ready to become as big a phenomenon worldwide as they already are in Europe.

Muse have been with us since 1994, having been founded in their hometown of Teignmouth, Devon that year. And they’ve enjoyed mild success in the UK ever since the release …read more

The UK music charts may mean less now than they used to but they’re still an indicator of what’s hot on the popular British music scene right now. This week’s Top 10 singles and Top 10 albums are listed below.

In the singles chart, Taio Cruz has held on to the top spot he nabbed last week to make it two weeks in a row at number one. Empire State Of Mind jumped to number three meaning Jay-Z now has two records in the top 10. Very little movement elsewhere means this is a dull week in the UK singles chart.

If you haven’t yet experienced Muse live then you are missing out on a truly wondrous experience. It’s amazing to see three guys on stage making that much noise and the crowd making almost as much noise back in appreciation of their efforts.

You may be lucky enough to have secured tickets for Muse’s arena tour in November, in which case you will likely (unless you are one of those people who arrives late) see one of the support acts, The Big Pink. You may not yet have heard of them but they have big ambitions for the tour.

After the highly controversial MTV VMAs over in the States, which saw Russel Brand’s aggressive presenting style completely overshadowed by Kanye West’s show of douchebaggery, comes the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards.
Let’s hope Kanye doesn’t show up for this one, although seeing as no one in Europe had heard of Taylor Swift until she came face to face with him there’s unlikely to be a repeat of the incident.

Rather than focus on European acts, the MTV Europe Music Awards seems to be full of U.S. acts, which kind of makes me wonder why MTV bother having a separate awards …read more
