Music news and reviews
Mark is keeping a collection of all the confirmed blink-182 European summer tour dates. Added so far is Italian festival I-Day on the 4th of September.
Unofficially there are “leaked” rumours of blink-182 also playing Hungary’s Sziget Fesztivál, Belgium’s Pukkelpop, the Netherlands’ Lowlands festival and the UK’s Reading/Leeds festivals.
Muse and Stevie Wonder will join U2 headlining Glastonbury this year.
Download Festival have announced a fair few bands to be playing this year including headlining act AC/DC. Find out the full list so far after the break.
Acts announced for Germany’s leg of Give It A Name, and thus possibilities for the UK festival, are: AFI, Against Me, Gallows, Haste The Day and The Swellers.
According to Punktastic this year’s Give It A Name Introduces tour (and thus included in the Give It A Name festival bill) will feature The Swellers, Framing Hanley, Anarbor and There For Tomorrow
Sonisphere 2010 will be headlined by Iron Maiden and Rammstein. Also included in the line up announcement were Slayer, Motley Crue, The Cult, Iggy and the Stooges, Anthrax and Alice Cooper.
We doubt this very much, but there’s a big rumour going around that Muse are to headline Glastonbury next year.
Kids In Glass Houses has been added to the Reading and Leeds festivals to open the mainstage on Sunday and Saturday respectively.
No you’re not seeing things. Starting this year Reading festival will increase capacity by an extra 10,000 tickets totalling at a rather impressive 85,000. 3.5k extra will be released this year and the next, and a final 3k more the year after that.
The price of the increase? Ticket priority is given to those residing in either Reading or the Mapledurham parish in Oxfordshire, and it’s still unclear as to what would happen to any left over.

65daysofstatic have been added to the Reading/Leeds festivals on the Festival Republic stage (most probably as replacement to A Day To Remember).
