- The 405
Conor Oberst
With one critically acclaimed record under their belt and a highly anticipated sophomore album Outer South (May 4th on Wichita) on its way, Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band are set to release "One of My Kind" on April 15th, a documentary that will give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the band’s journey over the past year and a half.
Unlike any film release before, Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band are donating the documentary, "One Of My Kind" for Free, in the hope that viewers will make a donation to one of the many nonprofits or causes on Causecast.
Field Day
Field Day (1st of August @ Victoria Park) have announced that The Horrors, Little Boots, Santigold, Mystery Jets and Juana Molina will be added to the already stellar line-up.

Cursive
I think it's fair to say that Cursive are awesome, so you should definitely check them out when they come over here in May to support their new album, Mama, I'm Swollen.

Relentless
Shameless plugs aside, we were sent the latest Relentless Energy drink flavour (Berry) yesterday and it's great. The people at Relentless also sponsor gigs/sporting events and much more so check them out at www.relentlessenergy.com
Animal Collective
ATP Concerts are very proud to present the biggest London show to date for the sensational Animal Collective. Years of hard work on their part have led to huge critical acclaim for their most recent LP Merriweather Post Pavilion, and their live shows have been gaining them similarly laudatory notices for a long time.
Two other London headline dates at Koko and The Forum both sold out well in advance and this date, at Brixton Academy on Thursday 20th August is expected to do the same. Support is to be confirmed
