Some albums by bands featuring at this summers music festivals.
| Beady Eye Different Gear, Still Speeding The debut album from Liam Gallagher's Beady Eye. The band were formed from the ashes of Oasis, after lead songwriter and guitarist Noel Gallagher left the band in acrimonious circumstances in 2008. Beady Eye comprises Liam Gallagher, bassist-turned-guitarist Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Chris Sharrock. |
| Coldplay Viva la Vida 'Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends' saw Coldplay emerge from the success of 2005's 'X&Y' with the same hunger that has earned them global appeal since their 2000 debut 'Parachutes'. Lead single 'Violet Hill' contains their trademark piano hooks, along with an uncharacteristically heavy guitar edge. |
| Kings of Leon Come Around Sundown American four-piece Kings Of Leon further develop the sound created on 2008's global hit 'Only By The Night'. Musically a million miles away from the likes of 2003's 'Youth And Young Manhood', this record is a statement of intent from a band who continue to delve into the realms of stadium rock. |
| Levellers Letters from the Underground Recorded at their own Metway Studios and produced by the band themselves, this album sees The Levellers doing what they do best, combining politically charged lyrics with their unique upbeat brand of anarcho-folk punk. |
| Pendulum Immersion Third album from the Aussie drum 'n' bass fusion merchants and their second for Warner Bros. following 2008's 'In Silico'. The album includes the single 'Watercolour' and additionally features guest appearances from Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson and Liam Howlett of The Prodigy, whose 'Voodoo People' was remixed by Pendulum for its single release. |
| U2 U218 Singles Following the release of two decade-specific 'Best Of' compilations, U2 present a career-spanning singles collection. This anthology gives a superb overview of arguably the most popular Irish rock band of the last twenty years and includes early tracks as well as the expected stadium rock classics, such as 'Vertigo' and 'Elevation'. |
