The Walkmen will join Fleet Foxes for a series of mouth-watering US tour dates this September, as the latter promotes their excellent new album ‘Helplessness Blues‘.

The State-Side tour will be sandwiched between equally expansive European dates over the course of the summer and into autumn, with a UK tour due to visit Wolverhampton on Thursday (June 23rd).

The Subways will support their forthcoming album ‘Money and Celebrity‘ with a large UK tour to begin in Oxford on September 17th.

The trio will continue the tour in Falmouth a day later, and are due to visit Birmingham, Manchester and Sheffield on the 13-date tour, which will be closed at the London KOKO on October 4th.

Laura Marling is to release her third studio album ‘A Creature I Don’t Know‘ on September 12th. Produced by Kings Of Leon cohort Ethan Johns, the album is the follow up to last year’s acclaimed release ‘I Speak Because I Can‘.

Radiohead have premiered a new track as part of their recent From The Basement session, which has been made available via YouTube.

The track, entitled ‘Staircase‘, was recorded for the popular series and comes with the description: “And no, you’re not seeing double. The doppelganger drummers are myself and Clive Deamer. Clive has long been one of my favourite drummers and so I was really excited when he agreed to perform with us. Hope you like what we’ve all done.”

Glastonbury festival co-organiser Emily Eavis has been teasing fans ahead of the official start of the 41st event on Friday, claiming special guests booked to perform on the Park Stage this year could easily have headlined.

The Strokes appear to be itching to put the delays and problems which affected their long-awaited 2011 album ‘Angles‘ behind them, and have said they want new material finished ‘as soon as possible’.
