Goldfrapp for Bond!

Signs of the Establishment catching up to the rest of us: move over Madonna, Goldfrapp have reportedly been asked to record the new Bond theme for Casino Royale. Wonder if they'll use the animal head dancers in the opening sequence? That would be ACE.

Good news for Snow Patrol fans, despite singer Gary Lightbody's recent throat problems he's still set to play the band's headline set at Latitude Festival the weekend after next. The festival has also announced some posh accommodation for those with extra cash, from luxury winnebagos and caravans, to pre-pitched tents with airbeds and sleeping bags. Check the official site if this sounds like your cup of tea.

Line-up additions have been announced for Bestival's ambient and electronica area, and Benicassim has swelled the ranks of its DJs, VJs and acts.
