Profile:
White Lies are an English alternative rock band from Ealing in West London. Formerly known as Fear of Flying, the band consists primarily of Harry McVeigh (lead vocals, guitar) Charles Cave (bass guitar and backing vocals), and Jack Lawrence-Brown (drums). The band are complemented by Tommy Bowen (keyboards) during live performances.

White Lies formed in October 2007, upon writing songs they felt didn't suit their original band. After delaying their first performance for five months to build up media hype, they earned a recording contract with Fiction Records days after their debut. The release of singles "Unfinished Business" and "Death" led to tours and festival appearances in the United Kingdom and North America, including a headline performance at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend and a place on the 2009 NME Awards Tour. Further singles "To Lose My Life" and "Farewell to the Fairground" led to further media attention and the band's first worldwide headline tour. Upon the release of their debut album, To Lose My Life..., White Lies became the first British act in 2009 to achieve a number one album.

At the beginning of 2009, White Lies featured in multiple "ones to watch" polls for the coming year, including the BBC's Sound of 2009 poll and the 2009 BRITs Critics' Choice Award. White Lies' musical style has been described as dark yet uplifting by the media, drawing comparisons to Joy Division, Editors and Interpol.

Profile:
Neil Percival Young OM (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, musician and film director. Young's work is characterized by deeply personal lyrics, distinctive guitar work, and signature falsetto tenor singing voice. Although he accompanies himself on several different instruments—including piano and harmonica—his claw-hammer acoustic guitar style and often idiosyncratic electric guitar soloing are the linchpins of a sometimes ragged, sometimes polished sound. Although Young has experimented widely with differing music styles, including swing, jazz, rockabilly, blues, and electronic music throughout a varied career, his best known work usually falls into either of two distinct styles: folk-esque acoustic rock ("Heart of Gold", "Harvest Moon" and "Old Man") and electric-charged hard rock (like "Cinnamon Girl", "Rockin' in the Free World" and "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)"). In recent years, Young has adopted elements from newer styles like industrial, alternative country and grunge. Young's profound influence on the latter caused some to dub him "the godfather of grunge".

The band consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar) and Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums and percussion). The band formed in 1976 when the members were teenagers with limited musical proficiency. By the mid-1980s, the band had become a top international act, noted for their anthemic sound, Bono's impassioned vocals, and The Edge's textural guitar playing. Their success as a live act was greater than their success at selling records until their 1987 album The Joshua Tree elevated the band's stature "from heroes to superstars," according to Rolling Stone. U2 responded to the dance and alternative rock revolutions and their own sense of musical stagnation by reinventing themselves with their 1991 album Achtung Baby and the accompanying Zoo TV Tour. Similar experimentation continued for the rest of the 1990s. Since 2000, U2 pursued a more conventional rock sound that retains the influence of their previous musical explorations. U2 have sold more than 145 million albums worldwide and have won 22 Grammy Awards, more than any other band. In 2005, the band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility. Rolling Stone magazine listed U2 at #22 in its list of the 100 greatest artists of all time.

Michael Jackson tickets on sale March 13th

Michael Jackson has announced he will perform ten concerts at the London O2 Arena starting on July 8th, with tickets on sale Friday March 13th.

From BBC News:
Michael Jackson's series of 10 concerts at London's O2 arena in July will be "the final curtain call", he has said. He told fans at the venue: "This is it. I just want to say that these will be my final show performances in London." The pop superstar, 50, may take the show around the world, but it would be his last tour, the promoter said. He made a five-minute appearance in front of hundreds of screaming fans to announce the 10 London dates, which will earn him more than $50m (£35m). His first words to fans were: "I love you so much.

The first concert will be on 8 July, with tickets costing between £50 and £75. They go on general sale on 13 March. The star will put on a "big budget, grand, highly technical, incredible show", according to Randy Phillips, chief executive of promoter AEG Live. "Michael Jackson is a perfectionist so it's going to be amazing," Mr Phillips told BBC News. "He'll try a lot of new things." Asked whether the London dates would be his last ever performances, Mr Phillips replied: "These will be the last shows in London.

"Whether he will go on from here around the world... this will be his last tour. All he's agreed to are the London shows at this point." The star was "in great shape" for the dates, he said. "He's passed an extensive four-hour physical with independent third party doctors selected by the insurance carriers. He's in incredible health." Mr Phillips added that AEG had a "broader relationship" with Jackson, which could involve a new 3D film based on Thriller as well as future concerts.

The three-and-a-half year plan could earn Jackson more than $400m (£283m), he predicted. The singer had been due to appear at the O2 at 1600 GMT, but he only left his central London hotel at that time and arrived an hour and a half late for the announcement. Several hundred fans waited at the O2 to see him, and said they were not disappointed by his brief appearance.

Profile:
Michael Joseph Jackson (born August 29, 1958) is an American recording artist, entertainer, and businessman. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the "King of Pop" in subsequent years, five of his solo studio albums have become some of the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995). In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African-American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and Thriller—credited for transforming the music video into an art form and a promotional tool—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV into the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced numerous hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists.

Other acts on the line up include The Prodigy, Korn, Pendulum, Marilyn Manson and Limp Bizkit. Live Nation VP of Promotions Andy Copping said: "Faith No More were the band that started the whole alternative music scene.

Speaking about their recent reunion, the band added: "During the entire 10 years that have passed since our decision to break up we've experienced constant rumours and requests from fans and promoters alike. "The music still sounds good, and we are beginning to appreciate the fact that we might have actually done something right. What's changed is that this year, for the first time, we've all decided to sit down together and talk about it. And what we've discovered is that time has afforded us enough distance to look back on our years together through a clearer lens and made us realize that through all the hard work, the music still sounds good, and we are beginning to appreciate the fact that we might have actually done something right." Faith No More came to prominence in the UK when third album Angel Dust went to number two in the charts back in 1992. Follow-up King For a Day... Fool For a Lifetime reached number five three years later.

Michael Jackson to announce London concerts

From the BBC:

Michael Jackson is expected to announce a series of summer comeback concerts at the O2 arena in London. The pop legend is due to appear at the venue on Thursday make to a "special announcement", a statement said. It follows months of speculation about a string of money-spinning shows. Jackson last performed in 2006, at the World Music Awards in London.

But he disappointed fans at that event by singing just a few lines of We Are The World. He last toured 12 years ago. The O2, in Greenwich, south-east London, is the venue where Prince played for 21 nights in 2007, and where Britney Spears is performing for eight nights in June. Jackson would be likely to follow a similar pattern of a run of gigs at one venue, rather than an extensive tour. At Thursday's press conference, he will hope to convince fans he is fit enough to perform a number of full shows.

His last substantial series of concerts came in 1996 and '97, when he played 82 shows in 58 cities as part of the HIStory tour. His last album of original material came out in 2001. Stories about personal, health and financial problems have circulated in recent years, and he was cleared of child abuse after a four-month trial in 2005. The singer is selling many of the contents of his former Neverland ranch at auction in Los Angeles next month. But with classic releases like Thriller - the world's best-selling album - plus Bad and Off the Wall, he is the most successful entertainer of all time, according to Guinness World Records, and retains a huge global fan base.

Check the blog for more details on Thursday and we'll have tickets on sale as soon as they are available. BritishConcerts.com allows a price comparison between box offices so you can get the best seats at the best prices - stay tuned !

Blur to headline T In The Park, Oxegen

Blur have announced plans to headline this year's T in the Park and Oxegen festivals. The reunited band join Kings Of Leon, Katy Perry and Snow Patrol for the UK and Irish festivals, which are due to take place from 10-12 July. Blur's appearance will follow their two sell-out shows in London's Hyde Park on 2 and 3 July. The band reunited at the end of last year after they recruited former guitarist Graham Coxon.

T in the Park festival director, Geoff Ellis, said: "It's fantastic that Blur have reformed and we're delighted to be able to confirm them for T in the Park this year, especially as the last time they played the festival was 10 years ago. Blur are an incredibly influential band whose closing performance could include festival anthems in the shape of Coffee & TV, Tender, Song 2, The Univeral and Parklife, to name but a few."

Blur will return to T in the Park for the first time since 1999, having also played in the King Tut's tent at the very first T in the Park festival, when it was held at Strathclyde Park in 1994. Their forthcoming appearances will be the first time Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree have played together as a band since 2000.

Amir Khan v Marco Barrera. Compare ticket prices & buy now!

Amir Khan returns to the MEN Arena in Manchester on March 14th for the biggest fight of his life. The Bolton champion takes on Mexican Marco Antonio Barrera and tickets are selling faster than ever. Use our price comparison site to find the best priced tickets in the best positions so you don't miss out on any of the action. A complete undercard will also be part of the evening's action.



Buy Amir Khan tickets now



ARTICLE:
AMIR Khan's latest bout is one of the fastest-selling fights the country has ever seen. Two-thirds of the 20,000 tickets sold in the first few days of the M.E.N. Arena event going on sale.

The March 14 fight sees the Bolton boxer back at the scene of his first professional defeat to take on Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera in the biggest challenge of his career. Last September thousands of fans saw Khan knocked out in the first round of his fight with relative unknown Breidis Prescott.

But veteran boxing promoter Mr Warren believes his protégé can defeat Barrera and become as famous as Ricky Hatton in the US. He said: "This is one of the fastest-selling fights I have ever promoted.

"I'm extremely happy with the way things are going, especially in this economic climate, and would expect it to sell out soon. I've brought some major shows to Manchester over the last 20 years and with Ricky Hatton coming from the city Manchester has firmly established itself as one of the centres of boxing. The vast majority of ticket-buyers are from Britain, but we expect people to fly in from the US and Mexico." Barrera, 34, who ended Naseem Hamed's unbeaten record in 2001, has won seven world titles in his career. One of the best boxers of his era, he remains a formidable opponent, despite losing to Manny Pacquiao - Hatton's potential next opponent - in a 2007 performance that suggested he was past his best. Mr Warren said: "Putting Amir in the ring with Barrera does make me nervous, it's not going to be an easy fight.

"But Amir is a quality fighter and his style, size and youth will be the deciding factor. I picked Barrera for Amir knowing that nothing is certain in boxing. Amir is a bigger attraction at this stage of his career than Ricky Hatton was since he came out of the Olympics and on to terrestrial TV. If he comes through his fight he will be a massive star in the US."

The M.E.N. Arena has staged some of the biggest British fights in recent times, featuring greats like Hatton, Hamed, Nigel Benn, Joe Calzaghe and Chris Eubank. Khan, 22, said: "I'm so happy that the fight is at the M.E.N. Arena and it's going to be an absolutely wicked atmosphere. There have been so many great nights there and I believe my fight against Barrera will rank alongside those - I just can't wait. This is a fight for the fans and a chance for them to see Barrera, who is a boxing legend, against a young fighter who aims to achieve what he has."
