Glastonbury 2017: Kings of Leon express desire to play

It’s been eight years since Kings of Leon headlined Glastonbury, and now, following the recent release of their new LP Walls, the US band have expressed their desire to hit up Worthy Farm once again next year.

After being informed that 2017 will be the last year before Glastonbury takes a 12-month break, the group told BBC News that “we’ll have to get on it in 2017. I’ll have to text Mr Eavis.”

Rumours on 2017’s Glastonbury line-up are already starting to boil; most-recently Phil Collins announced a June tour which coincided nicely with next summer’s trip to Worthy Farm. Other rumours on the cards include Daft Punk, Radiohead and Diana Ross.

You can read the full interview with the BBC, here.

Audio: Michael Calfan – ‘Over Again’

Following various teasers over the past week, Michael Calfan has shared his new single Over Again, giving us a pretty solid idea of the direction of his new music as he shifts his focus from dancefloor EDM to uplifting house.

Grab a listen below; Over Again is out now:

Audio: Skream – ‘You Know, Right?’

Skream’s been banging You Know, Right across his various festival sets over the summer, but now the studio edit has been revealed and it’s just as solid as we remember.

Premiered as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record last Friday night, You Know, Right? hears the Londoner (aka Oliver Jones) throw everything UKG-inspired into one tidy package – from 4/4-led tech sonics all the way to soulful 2-step samples; essentially this one’s nuts.

Grab a listen to this 7 minutes of epicness below:

Audio: HONNE – ‘Good Together’ (Jarami Remix)

HONNE’s Good Together, one of the standouts from their Warm On A Cold Night LP, has received a smooth rework courtesy of Stockholm-based duo Jarami. Delivering some uplifting mid-tempo electronica at its finest, Jarami throw across a groove akin to the likes of Tom Misch – headnodding and soulful yet with a post-3am taste for the late-night crews.

Glastonbury 2017: Phil Collins rumoured for ‘Legends’ slot

Phil Collins has announced his first set of live shows in over a decade, with the dates ‘nicely coinciding’ with 2017’s Glastonbury Festival.

Long-since rumoured to make a Glastonbury appearance over the years, the former Genesis-frontman initially went into retirement back in 2011, however due to demand from fans, he seems to have resurrected his career for at least 10 date next summer.

Featuring five shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall (4-9th June 2017), Collins will then perform four more dates across Germany and France; we’d also hedge our bets on a Sunday afternoon ‘legends slot’ appearance at Glastonbury 2017 too!

For those interested, tickets for Phil Collins’ tour go onsale this coming Friday (21st October); full dates below:

4th June 2017 – Royal Albert Hall (London)
5th June 2017 – Royal Albert Hall (London)

8th June 2017 – Royal Albert Hall (London)
9th June 2017 – Royal Albert Hall (London)
11th June 2017 – Lanxess Arena (Cologne)
12th June 2017 – Lanxess Arena (Cologne)
18th June 2017 – Accor Hotels Arena (Paris)

Video: Big Narstie – ‘The BDL Skank’

Just over a month back, Big Narstie dropped The BDL Skank, teaming up once again with Show N Prove for the first time since the equally-as-infectious Gas Pipe. Today, following various live performances across the festival circuit this summer, Narstie has shared the track’s official video, basically reminding everyone that the lad is here to enjoy life (and we’re totally down with that ethos too).

Duke Dumont stopped by The Annex in Detroit as part of his current US tour last week, and has shared the entire set online PLUS he’s giving it away as a free download.

Trust us, if you’ve got 75 minutes to kill, this needs to be your soundtrack. It’s fairly speed-garagey, which to us, is a great thing!
