This year's Glastonbury had just as much going on backstage, as onstage, but it's time to take a look at the performers that made the festival so fantastic this year. Blur, Neil Young, Lady GaGa and Pete Doherty were just a few of those that performed, so take a look!

Monsters Of Rock At Reading and Leeds

PopSugarUK — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 03:00:00 -0700

This weekend the massive Reading and Leeds festivals took place with performances from Metallica, Dirty Pretty Things, Manic Street Preachers, Rage Against The Machine, The Last Shadow Puppets, Bloc Party and oh so many more. A bored-looking Kate Moss watched from the sound desk as her man Jamie Hince got down on one knee in front of his bandmate Alison Mosshart during The Kills' set. Meanwhile Alexa Chung hung out with Alex Turner and his bandmate Miles Kane on the grass at Leeds – what do you think of her festival look?

As much fun as it was, the festival was not without a couple of less appealing moments. Rumours of an unannounced Foo Fighters set caused chaos at a BBC tent, and a fire at Reading spread to 19 vehicles in a car park, originally caused by a barbecue. Still, most people had a great time – and some extra amusement was brought to the stage by Jack Black and Kyle Gass aka Tenacious D, who wore a couple of fabulous costumes. I love Kyle's monster outfit!

NME Awards 2008: Big Gig & Afterparty

PopSugarUK — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 01:00:00 -0800

As we've learned over this awards season, for every ceremony there must be at least one afterparty. The NME Awards last night were no exception – But not only did they have an afterparty, they went one step further, putting on a massive gig with Bloc Party, Kaiser Chiefs and Manic Street Preachers as some of the acts playing. Meanwhile Agyness Deyn and Carl Barat were dancing up a storm, and Peaches Geldof danced cheek to cheek with Patrick Wolf.

The sadder news of the night was that Vampire Weekend drummer Chris Thompson was injured in a car accident on his way out of the London venue and has sustained a head injury, he was taken to the Royal London Hospital for treatment. Lets hope he makes a full recovery.

2007 SXSW: A Festival in Photos

BuzzSugar — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 10:31:56 -0700

Most of us weren't lucky enough to get down to Austin for Southwest by Southwest, but that doesn't mean we can't relive the experience through good music and very cool photos. (Combine the two, and it's almost like being at a concert!)

Looking through some of the best shots from SXSW, I was struck by what a British Invasion there was this year, from keynote speaker Pete Townsend to much-discussed performances by Lily Allen, Bloc Party, Amy Winehouse, and The Pipettes (above). I've got photos from all of those shows and more, so check out my SXSW gallery when you read more

Photos include Winehouse, Allen, Townsend, Bloc Party, Mika, the Bravery, the Pipettes, and - just because it's funny to see him actually performing - Cisco Adler.
