Bestival announce day tickets

Following huge demand, Bestival organisers have announced a limited number of day tickets, as the annual event heads into mid-summer territory for the first time.

Set to be headlined by Mark Ronson and Diplo, M.I.A. and London Grammar, Bestival 2018 will also see festival exclusives from Plan B, Grace Jones and Chaka Khan. The likes of Mike Skinner, Solardo and Stefflon Don are also confirmed as the circus-themed event returns to its new Dorset home for another year.

Of the new addition of daily tickets, founder Rob da Bank said “So many mates, random people in the streets and Bestival fans online have been asking if it’s possible to do day tickets for years, and now that we have a much easier site to access we’re finally able to bring that to life. We still believe that Bestival is best experienced as a three or four-day knees-up but if you can only come for a day or two now’s your chance!”

Day-tickets are onsale now, including a limited number of VIP options. Head over to Bestival’s official site now for further line-up and ticket info.

The songs also come ahead of Donald’s rare UK appearance at Lovebox Festival this weekend.

**UPDATE: ‘Summertime Magic’ has now been confirmed as the first single from the new Childish Gambino album

Confirmed: Drake pulled in as surprise Wireless Festival headliner

Drake has been confirmed to close this year’s Wireless Festival following days of speculation.

Announced moments ago, Drake’s appointment follows earlier news of DJ Khaled pulling out of the Finsbury Park event, citing ‘travel issues’; Wireless organisers had instead confirmed that they were “working on something special”.

Drake’s return to the Wireless Festival stage comes three years after his 2015 appearance, where he welcomed Skepta as a surprise guest to perform ‘Shutdown’. Meanwhile his appointment follows a hectic week which saw his fifth studio album ‘Scorpion’ break streaming records globally. Yesterday the Canadian rapper also continued to show his love for the UK, sharing his Behind Barz freestyle for LinkUp TV.



Throughout the day, particularly in the hour prior to him gracing the stage, backstage images started to circulate which added further fuel to fire, including Capital Xtra’s Tim Westwood sharing a reminiscent shot with Drake himself.

Story developing; check out images and footage from Drake’s set below

Just over a week since revealing his rendition of Beyonce’s ‘Me, Myself and I’, Zayn Malik has returned with another cover, morphing Elvis Presley’s 46-year old song ‘I Can’t Help Falling In Love’ into a sultry, falsetto-fuelled piece of enchantment (alongside some new lyrics from Malik himself too).

Hear Drake’s OVO Sound Radio ‘post-Scorpion’ mix

Over a year since they last joined forces as their collaborative ‘October Firm’, Drake and OVO Sound Radio-host Oliver El-Khatib have returned once again to Apple’s Beats 1 with their new ‘post-Scorpion’ mix.

Coming just over a week since the release of Drake’s fifth studio album ‘Scorpion’, the show will be live-streamed on Apple’s online radio station from 11pm GMT, 7th July. Fans have been excited by the possibility of the mix featuring even more new Drizzy music (like Scorpion’s 25-track inclusion wasn’t enough!), but rumours are also starting to swirl that the set will include exclusive remixes of some of the album’s cuts.

Earlier today, Drake shared his anticipated ‘Behind Barz’ freestyle for LinkUpTV, citing Giggs as a key figurehead in the collaboration.

What will the OVO Sound post-Scorpion mix contain? Stream Beats 1 live right now to find out.

Emily Eavis on Glastonbury 2019 legend: “It’s a female; she’s not British”

Emily Eavis has teased further clues of Glastonbury 2019, and beyond.

Speaking to Radio 2’s Jo Whiley yesterday (5th July), the Glastonbury-curator spoke about Florence and The Machine’s headline success in 2015, before being pressed by Whiley about next year’s event.

“We’re kinda geared up for the next five years actually, so are deep in planning for next year already…. We’ve done our first draft of the Pyramid Stage line-up, and we’re also drafting in a few Other Stage headliners .We’ve been making progress in the last couple of weeks” she said, before adding – “We have also found our Sunday tea-time legend as well, which is really exciting. I can’t tell you who it is, but it’s a female. She’s not British. But I can’t give you anymore clues otherwise I’ll get into trouble.”

Rumours have already started circulating about who could be front-runner for the slot, often touted as Glastonbury’s ‘fourth unofficial headliner’. Last year, speculation was rife of Madonna finally making an appearance at Worthy Farm, seemingly confirmed a week back by The Sun.

Later on in the same show, Jo Whiley also added further thoughts, playing Madonna’s ‘Cherish’, whilst speaking over the intro “I wonder if she’s doing Glastonbury…. she’s a legend… maybe?”.

Who do you reckon will take up the bill? Whilst all eyes are on Madonna, we have our money firmly hedged against Diana Ross – according to The Sun, Ross was due to perform at 2016’s festival, though was forced to pull out, leaving ELO to fill the space.

Tickets for Glastonbury 2019 will go onsale this coming October, with the festival confirmed to return on 26-30th June.
