Glastonbury Festival 2023 Announces More Area Line-Ups!

Following announcements of the first wave of acts followed by area line-ups for West Holts, Silver Hayes and the wonderful Field Of Avalon, Glastonbury Festival have announced monster line-ups for even more areas as we count down the days until the lucky few can descend upon Worthy Farm for the 2023 edition of the historic and world-renowned festival.

The solar-powered Croissant Neuf stage will see the likes of English folkster Gaz Brookfield, Winchester-hailing Rozi Plain and The Power Of Love-hitmaker Gabrielle Aplin play sets, as well as a host of others in addition to an acoustic open mic. This will make it at least two sets for Aplin, who will also grace the Avalon stage. Check out the full line-up here.

The wonderful Theatre & Circus area has also put out it’s full line-up.

More and more line-ups will be forthcoming, we’re sure, as well as a full overall line-up that is expected in the weeks proceeding the gates at Worth Farm welcoming us in once more.

Muse have never been a band to think small.

Now, with the release of their tenth studio album, The Wow! Signal, Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard once again prove they’re unafraid to venture into uncharted territory.

Download Festival Is More Than Just the Metal

I’ve been attending Download Festival since 2005. Every year, as I walk through those gates, I feel something that can be difficult to explain to people who have never experienced it. For a few days each June, I stop feeling like I’m standing on the outside looking in. I belong.

Lucia & The Best Boys Continue Their Rise With A Spellbinding O2 Shepherd’s Bush Performance

Fresh from an acclaimed appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival, Lucia & The Best Boys arrive at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire with momentum firmly on their side. Opening for the reunited 4 Non Blondes, the Glasgow quartet seize the opportunity with a commanding seven-song set that feels less like a support slot and more like a statement of intent.

4 Non Blondes Return On Their Own Terms At O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire

More than three decades after their breakthrough, 4 Non Blondes arrive at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire not to relive the past, but to redefine themselves in the present. Supported by the excellent Lucia & The Best Boys, the reunited San Francisco outfit make it abundantly clear that this tour is not a nostalgia exercise. Instead, it is a bold statement of who they are now — and whether the audience is willing to come with them.

Snow Patrol @ Eden Sessions (Adam Smith)

Snow Patrol Complete The Hat-Trick At Eden Sessions In An Evening Of Heart, Humour And Hits

There are few concert settings in Britain as naturally dramatic as the Eden Sessions. Nestled within a former clay pit and framed by the iconic biomes of the Eden Project, the venue possesses a unique sense of occasion before a note is even played. On this June evening, the Cornish weather appears determined to play its part too. Persistent rain hangs over the site for much of the day, only to disappear almost on cue as Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly and Johnny McDaid walk on stage. It feels as though somebody has edited the weather into the evening’s script.
