My Chemical Romance have teased impending UK shows, with some fans suggesting that Glastonbury will also be on the cards later this summer.
Reuniting last year following their split in 2013, the US rockers recently played their first show in LA in December; now they’re hinting at more dates with a cryptic post on their socials.
Deciphering a short visual on their Twitter and Instagram accounts moments ago, the band posted a gif detailing characters from the Theban alphabet. Spelling out ‘June’, there is a quick glimpse of the Union Jack alongside what appears to be an interpretation of Glastonbury Tor.
Check it out below. If confirmed, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the group hitting up The Other Stage as headliners.

Mura Masa has shared his new single ‘Teenage Headache Dreams’, the latest teaser from his upcoming album ‘R.Y.C’.
Featuring Wolf Alice’s Ellie Rowsell, ‘Teenage Headache Dreams’ arrives just over a week ahead of the new record, which will feature additional collaborations from the likes of Clairo, slowthai and Georgia.
Recently-announced on the line-up for this year’s Coachella, Mura Masa will also take ‘R.Y.C’ on the road – a world tour kicks off on 20th February starting at London’s iconic Alexandra Palace.
Listen below:
No strangers to the festival itself, NYC’s Fun Lovin’ Criminals are set to return to Glastonbury later this summer, as confirmed by frontman Huey Morgan.
Speaking to BBC 6 Music’s Liz Kershaw during the handover from his own show to the latter, Morgan teased the band will be releasing a new record this year, whilst confirming “we’re playing at Glastonbury this year so that should be fun… yeah we’re headlining a stage [I] we can’t get into it now…”
The band’s appearance will make them one of the few acts confirmed so far for Glastonbury’s 50th anniversary, which kicks off in June – prior to Christmas, Taylor Swift was revealed as the second headliner, joining Saturday night’s Sir Paul McCartney on the bill.
Grab a listen to the full interview around the 2:56:50-mark, here; with less than 6 months to go, you can expect more Glastonbury names to start appearing over the coming months.
Taylor Swift has been announced as the Sunday night headliner for next summer’s Glastonbury Festival.
Announced moments ago, Swift’s Pyramid Stage appointment will mark the US popstar’s debut appearance at the festival, and follows her hugely-successful ‘Reputation’ tour which concluded last November. She will also play a handful of other festival dates throughout the year too, including British Summer Time in July.
Story developing – check the announcement below:
"She’s one of the biggest stars in the world and her songs are absolutely amazing. We’re so delighted.”

After what seemed like an accidental leak to their fanbase during last week’s European tour announcement, BBC Radio 2 seem to have sealed the confirmation that Aerosmith will indeed be performing at 2020’s Glastonbury Festival.
Teased by The Rock Show host Johnnie Walker earlier this evening (14th December), the presenter said “forgot to tell you, [Aerosmith will] be playing at Glastonbury next June – the big 50th-anniversary show. That’ll be quite something else”.
The Glastonbury show will be one of just three UK dates as part of the band’s own 50th celebrations; they will also be performing at London’s O2 Arena (15th July) and the Manchester Arena (18th July).
Tickets are onsale now, here. Check the full audio of the announcement below:
Organisers of Lovebox have confirmed their first wave of artists for 2020’s festival, returning to West London’s Gunnersbury Park from 12-14th June.
The new release, which follows last week’s prior announcement of Sunday headliner Tyler, The Creator, will see Khalid lead the charge on the Friday night (12th June), with Disclosure headlining on the Saturday. Disclosure’s set, which has been cited as their only festival performance this summer, will see them bring their brand new show to London after spending the past couple of years working away on their anticipated third studio record.
Additional names added include Hot Chip, Jorja Smith and Little Simz on the Friday, whilst Anderson .Paak and Peggy Gou will join Disclosure on the Saturday. FKA Twigs and Charli XCX will perform on Sunday 14th June.
Tickets go onsale Thursday 12th December – expect more names to be announced over the coming months.
Following on from the success of his last single, ‘Hide’, Yorkshire-based Franky Wah has now added another stellar featured artist to the session with the excellent ‘Time After Time’
While readying her fourth studio album, Jessie Ware makes time to jump on this stunning, primed club anthem. Deep, embracing synth pads float under Jessie’s distinctive, ethereal voice, combined with a floor-filling bassline that cuts through on the drop with precision. Franky delivers his usual, chunky, rolling house drum grooves, synonymous with his unique sound.
Listen below:
Aerosmith have announced a host of European dates for 2020 as part of their 50th anniversary tour.
Set to kick off on 13th June, the band will travel the continent, before stopping at London’s O2 Arena (15th July) and the Manchester Arena (18th July). The European stint will conclude in Germany on 27th July.
The eagle-eyed among fans will also notice a gap in their schedule between 24-30th June, leading some to speculate they will be headlining Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage on the Sunday (26th June), or even support Paul McCartney on 25th. The alignment of both Glastonbury and Aerosmith’s 50th birthdays certainly does make sense!
**UPDATE: It seems Aerosmith have announced Glastonbury in their mailer. This source is yet to be officially confirmed though – see tweet below**

Tyler, The Creator has been announced as the first headliner for Lovebox Festival 2020, and according to the BBC, will also be leading the charge at Parklife next summer too.
Marking the rapper’s first UK appearance since his sold out Brixton Academy shows earlier in the autumn, Tyler will grace both festivals in June – Lovebox has since shifted away from its heritage mid-July fixture, instead moving back a month, and also expanding from two to three days. Tyler will headline Manchester’s Parklife on 11th June, with his Lovebox appearance the following day.
Further line-up details for both festivals are expected to be announced over the coming weeks.
We’ve been keeping this quiet for a long time…@tylerthecreator is our first headline announcement for Lovebox 2020 💖
Catch him in London on Sunday 14th June.
