Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield and Cardiff will be ready for Mumford & Sons in June next year.

That’s when rescheduled gigs in those cities have been confirmed for after the originally intended dates were postponed earlier last week after the band found the start of their Delta world tour had brought with it bigger problems than expected.

Patti Smith, This Is The Kit and Ronnie Spector & The Ronettes are some of the acts already down to play the city’s Roundhouse venue next year, and Gruff Rhys has joined up for January 24th with My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James following on the 29th.

The Rolling Stones will take their No Filter tour to the US next year.

Starting on April 20th 2019 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, the band will keep up tour dates until June, playing dates on-and-off in cities such as Seattle, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia before a closing night in Chicago, Illinois.

Foo Fighters, The 1975, Twenty One Pilots and Post Malone have all been confirmed as headliners for Reading/Leeds 2019.

Foo Fighters will be the first headliners in Leeds and play the closing night in Reading, with The 1975 due up on the Friday in Reading and Leeds the following day. Twenty One Pilots and Post Malone, meanwhile, share bills on the Saturday in Reading and the Sunday in Leeds.

Spring King have announced their decision to part ways after releasing their second studio album A Better Life earlier this year.

“Over the past five years we have toured around the world and along the way we have made many friends,” they’ve written on social media.

Gaz Coombes will be taking it easy during the festive season after being ‘Bruce Lee’d’ by one of his children.

Posting an x-ray of his very much broken leg on social media, Coombes explained: “I’ve only gone & broken my leg! Larking around with the kids I got ‘Bruce Lee’d’ by my 15 year old, and let’s just say she connected too well.”
