Glasto line up revealed
Apr 15th
After months of speculation, the Glastonbury line up has FINALLY been revealed.
We all knew that U2, Muse and Stevie Wonder were headlining the Pyramid stage, but who would be performing alongside them was the question on everybody’s lips.
We here at Smoke Radio think the line up is pretty immense and with more artist still to be announced, it is only going to get better. Take a look at the East Dance stage on the Saturday and you should recognise Donaeo – yes he did play at Area 51 last semester.
If you are going to Glastonbury let us know who you’re most looking forward to seeing!
NME award winners
Feb 25th
Last night saw Brixton Academy play host to the NME awards.
Jarvis Cocker hosted the event which included performances from Paul Weller, The Maccabees and some unique collaborations from Lily Allen and The Big Pink and Biffy Clyro and Marina and the Diamonds.
Best looking male?
Muse had a particularly good evening winning best website for Muse.mu beating off competition from the likes of YouTube and Twitter. They also picked up the prestigious best band award, pipping Kasabian and Arctic Monkeys to the gong. However perhaps the most important award won by the band was best looking male which went to Matt Bellamy. Errr…..
It wasn’t such a good evening for the Jonas Brothers who managed to pick up both worst band and worst album for ‘Lines, Vines and Trying Times.’ Shockingly the band were not in attendance.
You can check out the full list of winners here which include Jamie T winning best solo artist and Smoke Radio favourite’s Bombay Bicycle Club winning best newcomer.
