Fleetwood Mac announce second 2019 Wembley Stadium show

Fleetwood Mac have added a second date at London’s Wembley Stadium to their 2019 European tour.

Announced moments ago, the appointment of an additional show follows the quick ticket sell-out for their original slated date of 16th June. The latest show will see them return to Wembley two days later on 18th June.

Fleetwood Mac was founded by Peter Green in 1967 and was named after Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. After Peter Green left in 1969, Fleetwood and McVie remained as original members, and the band has since featured a varying cast – most notably, Christine McVie joined the band in 1970, with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joining in 1974.

Tickets go onsale this coming Friday, 16th November, with a presale kicking off tomorrow on 14th November. Check the full dates below:

Sade has shared her surprise new song ‘The Big Unknown’, lifted off the soundtrack to the new Steve McQueen movie, Widows.

Specifically written for the movie’s final scene, McQueen recently spoke of Sade’s contribution to the project, saying “It was an honour to work with such a legend. Sade is an incomparable talent and incredible artist who so rarely releases new material, but luckily the original series of Widows had deeply resonated with her.”

Glastonbury 2019: Emily Eavis teases British male Friday night headliner

During her recent Q&A with Radio 2’s Zoe Ball, Emily Eavis let slip more clues on the line-up for 2019’s Glastonbury Festival.

So far, only a handful of acts have self-confirmed for Glastonbury, moreso just the smaller stages, however all eyes are now on headliners and the Sunday afternoon tea-time slot.

Speaking to Ball (with the full interview set to be broadcast on the afternoon of Saturday, 10th November), Eavis firstly confirmed that Fleetwood Mac will not be in attendance – “we have not booked Fleetwood Mac, it’s been close a few times and hopefully one day…”

She then teased “We’ve got a couple of blokes in next year… Madonna would be amazing”, before also revealing that the Friday night #Glastonbury headliner is a British male she’s very excited about at the moment – “we have a great British artist headlining on Friday night. He will become the enormous person he is”.

Story developing.

Glastonbury’s Emily Eavis confirmed for BBC Introducing Live Q&A Session

*This story has been updated since its original release – scroll down*

Glastonbury Festival’s Emily Eavis has been announced as one of the guest speakers at this weekend’s BBC Introducing Live in London.

With less than 9 months to go until Glastonbury returns after a one-year sabbatical, the festival-curator will be in conversation with Radio 2’s Zoe Ball to give a behind-the-scenes look at one of the biggest staples in the world music calendar.

According to a brief description on the event’s website, Emily will “reveal what goes on behind the scenes and the day to day reality of one of the coolest jobs on earth”. Fingers-crossed we’ll also get a teaser on who will be performing at 2019’s Glastonbury too.

The Q&A will be broadcast on BBC Radio 2 during Ball’s show in the afternoon of 10th November.

**UPDATE** Emily Eavis has teased further details about 2019 headliners – “We’ve got a couple of blokes in next year… Madonna would be amazing”

Hear Mighty Mouse’s gospel/disco-groover ‘The Spirit’

The story goes that when Defected head Simon Dunmore heard Horse Meat Disco drop ‘The Spirit’ at Glitterbox in Ibiza earlier this summer, he immediately needed to know where and who the track came from. It’s no surprise that Mighty Mouse’s style of production was a good match for Glitterbox, with his reputation of delivering high energy, eclectic, disco-infused sets. ‘The Spirit’ brings this energy into his style of production, and whilst the marriage of disco and house music may be a tried and tested formula, Mighty Mouse brings a rugged style of production with its surging bassline and disco-diva vocals that makes it truly unique, and a real party starter.
