The Strypes announce extra UK dates

The Rolling Stones to headline Glastonbury Festival

The Rolling Stones have been named as one of the three headline acts for the Glastonbury Festival 2013.

It will be the first time the Rolling Stones have played at the festival at Worthy Farm, Somerset, which will draw about 135,000 people.

The other headline acts at the festival, taking place on the final weekend of June, are Mumford and Sons and the Arctic Monkeys.

The Stones will be performing on the Saturday night - the penultimate night. Mick Jagger tweeted: "Can't wait to play Glastonbury. I have my wellies and my yurt!"

Glastonbury was not held last year because of the Olympics and to allow the farmland to recover from the previous festival.

The full line-up, announced on the official website includes Primal Scream and Elvis Costello. Also appearing on the Pyramid stage is Jake Bugg and festival veteran Billy Bragg.

This year's Glastonbury is already a sell-out but there will be some re-sales next month.

Paul Weller Announces Exclusive Record Store Day 7" Single for Saturday 20th April

Paul Weller has always been a proud supporter of the local independent record store and has announced a very special release for this year's Record Store Day.

A double A-side single, 'Flame-Out!'/'The Olde Original' will be available as a strictly limited 7" vinyl single on Saturday 20th April.

Paul recorded the brand new tracks especially for the release and said "it’s great to do a record that’s released specifically for Record Store Day. There's so few record shops left that we should all treasure those remaining."

Remember, you can only pick up the 7" vinyl release at participating independent record shops from Saturday 20th April and copies are strictly limited. Once they're gone, they're gone.

Good news for Weller fans without a turntable or an independent record store in their area - the 'Flame-Out!'/'The Olde Original' single will also be released digitally.

You'll be able to download the single worldwide (excluding the US) for one month only from Sunday April 21st.
