Rudimental have announced their return to the scene with their brand new single Sun Comes Up.

Set to land in little over a week, the song continues the group’s track-record of guest vocalists, this time with a star appearance from James Arthur. Though unconfirmed, it’s also likely to be the first single from Rudimental’s forthcoming third studio album, the follow-up to 2015’s We the Generation.

With both artists set to appear on the same days at August’s V Festival, we also wouldn’t be surprised if a live on-stage collaboration was also on the cards.

More on the track as we hear it; in the meantime you can preorder Sun Comes Up below – the song lands on 30th June:

0

It’s a pretty mammoth week for Foo Fighters’ fans by all accounts. Not only will they be headlining Glastonbury Festival for the first time this Saturday, the US band have also dropped a wealth of huge news out there, including their own one-day festival, PLUS the reveal of their brand new album.

Entitled Concrete and Gold and due out in September, the record will follow on from 2014’s outing, Sonic Highways and will see the Foos hook up with super-producer Greg Kurstin (responsible for hits from the likes of Pink, Adele and Sia).

Alongside the album, Dave Grohl and co have also announced their one-day festival, CAL JAM 17, which will feature appearances from the likes of Liam Gallagher, Queens of the Stone Age, Cage The Elephant and more.

More to follow. It’s highly-likely they’ll preview some of their upcoming new music during Saturday’s Glastonbury performance.

Glastonbury’s Variety Bazaar to have bigger focus on Shangri-La, Arcadia etc

With just 24 hours to go until Glastonbury opens its gates for another year, curator Emily Eavis has teased further information regarding the festival’s upcoming sister event, The Variety Bazaar.

Speaking exclusively in the latest issue of Music Week, Eavis outlined the team’s schedules for the next few years – “The plan at the moment is for a fallow year here in ‘18, ‘19 back on Worthy Farm, then 2020 is our 50th anniversary, so we’ll be here for that,”. before speaking of the new festival, adding “…then the plan is we’ll do another event in 2021, which will be called The Variety Bazaar, and that will be somewhere else. It’s not going to be an average Glastonbury but it will be [produced by] the team behind Glastonbury. We’re looking at three different sites elsewhere at the moment.”

Though still some years off (we’d assume that Glastonbury’s 50th anniversary is set to be a huge undertaking in itself), Emily did share some way of a vision for The Variety Bazaar which could in turn make some of the ‘after-hours’ fans pretty happy – “The idea is to give some of the fringe areas of the festival more space. We could do more with Shangri-La, Arcadia, The Common, Block9 etc.”

Glastonbury 2017: Glasto goers expected to bring over £80m worth of tech to site

There’s just two days to go until Glastonbury opens its gates for another year, and one bit of advice we can’t stress enough is to USE THE FREE LOCK-UPS.

Nestled all across the site (and heavily secured), the property lock-ups are the perfect place to store all those valuables – from jewellery, car keys or even extra cash, they’re an absolute life-saver, particularly after new research has shown that the value of tech at Glasto rolls into the high-millions.

According to online insurer Protect Your Bubble, the average British festival attendee will carry around £593 worth of tech each on every event they attend this summer. Glastonbury Festival-lone will see attendees bring over £80 million of personal technology over the course of the week.

PYB’s Rob Basinger says “More than 1 million Brits plan to hit a festival this season, either on home soil or overseas and, for many, it’ll be the highlight of the summer. But when you’ve had a few ciders, you’re up to your knees in mud, and living in a tent for a weekend, the risk to your valuables is considerably higher….. Keep your smartphone safe by not leaving it unattended in a tent or a car, and don’t store it in your back pocket when you’re in a crowd – instead, keep smaller valuables under cover in a money belt. With British festivals traditionally a soggy affair, you can also protect electronic devices from the elements by ensuring they’re kept in a water-tight ziplock bag.”

So, our advice to you – either maybe use the time to detox from the rest of the world (and get a cheapy non-smart Nokia), or use the free lock-ups. The Glastonbury EE app (iOS & Android) shows the locations of all the secure areas.
