Monday, 8 October


Next year's Glastonbury Festival sold out in record time yesterday. All the tickets for the 2013 event went in 1 hour and 40 minutes. "We're genuinely humbled by the sheer number of people who would like to come to the Festival, and we dearly wish we could have you all along," explained organisers, Michael Eavis and daughter Emily, in a statement. "Sadly, that just isn't possible, which means a significant number of people have missed out. Tickets were being sold throughout the morning - but demand simply outstripped supply. If you were one of those who managed to get a ticket, then we look forward to welcoming you to Worthy Farm in June. If not, then there is likely to be a resale of returned tickets in the spring, and your registration will also remain valid for future Glastonbury Festivals - so we hope to see you down here at some point." No acts have been announced for Glastonbury 2013 yet.

Blur say they will play more shows next year. Confirming they will headline 2013's Rock Werchter festival in Belgium and Primavera Sound in Barcelona and Porto, the band suggested the dates will have an international feel: "Hope to travel in 2013 to play to more of our lovely fans who we haven't seen for a while. Don't know where yet, we'll tell as soon as we do."

Mike Love insists he did not fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys following the conclusion of their 50th anniversary dates. "I cannot fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I am not his employer. I do not have such authority. And even if I did, I would never fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I love Brian Wilson. We are partners. He's my cousin by birth and my brother in music," he declared, adding that: "The plan was always to go back to our respective lives post the 50th anniversary run... I'm wondering if we'll all get to do this again or if this is it. I'm standing proud that we came together, put our differences aside and made this tour happen."

The National say they have received hate mail for their public backing of Barack Obama's re-election campaign. "I know we've gotten responses from people [who] don't like the fact that we've taken a position on it, and I don't actually think artists or musicians necessarily have a responsibility to do that," explained singer Matt Berninger. "But in our case, the five of us... talked about it and we were like, Yeah, it's worth it, for sure."

Deadmau5 has rubbished claims in a Forbes Highest Paid DJs list that he's made $11.5m. "It's bullshit. I had to call my manager and say, Yo! Where's the other 10?" he explained. "Sure, we've seen $20 million in the past two years, but that's gone back into the studio, into tours - they cost up to $10 million alone. It's money in, money out for all of us, but the list makes us look like a bunch of overpaid dicks. The cool thing about it, though, is that it says, Invest in this shit because it's hot, to the idiots with more money than all of us put together. It's a self-propelling stupidity that's now influxing big industry money into the previously small EDM market."
