Talented, attractive, critically acclaimed, BRIT-nominated, topper of the 2009 BBC sound of music poll before her album was even released plus a criminally endearing name, Little Boots is carving a niche for herself into the music world. It’s quite satisfying to find out that she entered Pop Idol and didn’t even make it up in front of the judges. Cram that up your pipe, Cowell. Click here for tickets.

When one of your middle names is Battenberg, you have three choices, become an accountant, become a sociopath or grow ginger dreads and become a soulful acoustic pop/blues/folk singer. Sam Newton Battenberg Faulkner is a terrible accountant and a pacifist, so the choice was easy. He’s on tour. Click here for tickets.

Yep, after an intense battle of phone calls and clicking the refresh button, it’s over. It only took 12 hours for every 2010 Glastonbury ticket to disappear from the virtual shelves. This is a marked improvement on 2009’s tickets, which took several weeks to sell out but then 2009 was such a success and the next festival is the 40th anniversary.

Radiohead's Thom Yorke has formed a new band.
The frontman has recruited crazy Chilies slap bassist Flea, Joey Waronker (a drummer and producer who has worked with Beck, mashing Pumpkins and REM), Brazil’s multi-talented Drum Maestro Mauro Refosco, and ace producer Nigel Godrich (worked with Radiohead a lot but also Beck, McCartney, Travis, U2, etc... etc...) to help him perform his solo material live.

Stereophonics, supported by the GLC, set Cardiff Castle jumping this Saturday afternoon when their special, one-off gig finally landed.
Cardiff Castle is an unusual venue. It doesn’t seem that big from the outside, but when you pass through the huge, reinforced gates it all gets a bit Tardis. The fairy-tale buildings and battlements can’t help but add something special to a performance inside. It’s also a good job they knew how to build them sturdy back then, otherwise the Phonics and their fans would have done some serious structural damage.

Kelly jones said at the end of his storming gig in Cardiff castle that they had something spectacular planned for next summer. "next summer, we're going to do something big in Wales. It's going to be something big, special and something we've never done before."
The rumour and speculation mills are going nuts. Is it a festival? Is it an underwater gig? Who knows.
More to follow.

Since the 80s appeared to have vomited all over the high street recently, it’s only fair that some quality undigested chunks of 80s goodness splat into the music scene.

Could there be a more fitting tribute to the melodiously shrieking man-banshees (manshees?) of pop, than the face-melting power-chords and skin-tight silver lycra of glam metal? If there is, we don’t want to know about it. Click here for tickets.

It’s difficult to imagine when Steve Wilson actually sleeps. The Porcupine Tree lead singer is not only the driving force behind PT, this year he produced his own solo album, Insurgentes; collaborated in No-Man, an experimental rock outfit; AND writes music with friend Aviv Geffin for their band Blackfield. He is possibly the hardest working man in music.

It’s been quite a 12 months for the Southampton based Band Of Skulls. Back in November 2008, the 2-boy-one-girl trio were recording under the alias Fleeing New York as virtual unknowns. Veritable virgins of the music industry. Skip to October 2009, and things have changed. They have just released a brilliant, very complete and debut album – Baby Darling Doll Face Honey, are touring the country’s coolest venues and, rather more impressively; are featuring on the soundtrack of the Twilight movie franchise second serving New Moon. No mean feat by any standards.

Vasco Rossi is a Godzilla-sized rock star in his home country of Italy. Inaccurately dubbed the Italian Bruce Springsteen (by me, just then), Rossi has an uncanny knack of selling out vast stadiums with little effort. Rossi has published 21 successful albums and written over 130 songs and the distinctive Rossi shout has been echoing around Italy since 1977. Click here for tickets.

Getting bigger and bigger all the time, The Sunshine Underground are threatening to hit a mainstream near you soon. They might have to change their name. The band are noted for not enjoying big gigs but rather smaller, more intimate venues in which they can create a house-party atmosphere. Let’s see how that translates as their venues get progressively larger like an embarrassing public woody. Click here for tickets.
