London’s premiere festival which will take place in Victoria Park from the 16th-18th July will also play host to The Maccabees, Ellie Goulding and The Noisettes at the newly expanded three day event.

FRIDAY

Headlined by Brit award-winning, Dizzee Rascal, the new Friday will showcase the very best in dance and pop including the enchanting Ellie Goulding and pop trio the Noisettes while Brighton based indie rockers The Maccabees will headline the Gaymers Stage.

dizzee rascalFriday will also play host to some of the hippest names on the dance music scene, with Italian DJ duo Crookers making their only London festival appearance, superstar club DJ’s Brodinski and Sinden taking to the stage and arguably Europe’s hottest DJ property for 2010, Riva Starr, joining the bill. While over in the NYC Downlow, Zinc and Dynamite MC, Toddla T, MJ Cole, and 2009’s favourite producer, on a London festival exclusive, Joy Orbison will be keeping things mighty real.

SATURDAY

The Lovebox crowd will be in for a rare treat when the phenomenal Roxy Music take to the main stage on the Saturday night. Fans of the band should visit www.lovebox.net to see exclusive audio and video content released by Roxy Music to celebrate their headline spot.

Bryan Ferry said ‘There is a song on my album that I have co-written with my friends Groove Armada. They asked me if Roxy would like to perform at Lovebox. We of course thought it would be cool.’

The newly-formed Mark Ronson & the Business will be joining them on the bill, alongside the acclaimed Empire of the Sun who are playing their first ever London show.

mark ronson

Mark Ronson said ‘Lovebox is the first festival that ever let me perform with the Version players (my band). And to go from that memory in 2006 to playing there last year, on stage with my childhood heroes Duran Duran is really something. We will certainly do our best to make this our best Lovebox performance yet.’

Internationally renowned outfit Booka Shade headline the Relentless dance stage on Saturday and we have our own slice of Berlin in the capital in the form of Jesse Rose, Henrik Schwarz Live and Dixon (Innervisions). We are also proud to welcome an East vs West London soundclash to Lovebox, the Hip Hop and R N B crews Work It and Yo Yo will be pairing up for a proper NYC style block party!

SUNDAY

This year also sees the exciting launch of Lovebox’s groundbreaking all-new Sunday, which blends the coolest music, emergent art, cutting edge fashion and more to create an all-inclusive polysexual event unlike any other.

The immortal music and style icon known as Grace Jones will be headlining the main stage, bringing her ever revolutionary flair for subversion to Victoria Park.

Grace Jones

Beloved electro-pop juggernauts Hot Chip will also be present and correct, fresh from the critical success of their brand new album, One Life Stand. Over on the Gaymers Stage, electro-funk duo Chromeo will be tearing up proceedings and are joined by returning Aussie heroes Cut Copy, who, in a UK festival exclusive, will be dazzling audiences with their beautiful, nostalgia streaked pop, while the glam disco machine known as Hercules and Love Affair will also be back to enthrall once more with their irrepressible, glitter-strewn music.

hotchip

Also along for the ride are renowned pop provocateur Peaches, the much buzzed about and deliciously offbeat new duo Silver Columns, and moody new upstarts Hurts, who pricked up ears last year with their wonderfully dark and disturbed single Wonderful Life. Disco Bloodbath, Trailer Trash and Horse Meat Disco are just some of the DJ crews who will be hosting areas on the day.

In addition, the incomparable Jonny Woo – performance artist/entertainer nonpareil – will be compeering the main stage along with his troupe of club freaks and drag queens, which will include a unique, one-off fashion show by Dr Noki NHS. His fiercely individual, recycled clothing has found devotees in the likes of Lady Gaga and Beyonce, as well as an innovative art collaboration with Central St Martins in support of the charity Art Against Knives, which works towards reducing knife crime by engaging young people in troubled areas with art and fashion-based workshops. All in all, an exciting and compelling day out, and a fitting finale to a great weekend.

Alongside the show-stopping performances there will be another healthy dose of Lovebox’s summer shenanigans; with the 40 acre site playing host to numerous other stages, performances and activities.

The infamous NYC Downlow also returns to Lovebox for 2010 after a year’s hiatus. This life-size ruin of a NYC tenement will resurrect New York’s golden age and festival-goers can expect to enjoy an eclectic mix of disco, soul, funk and dance.

As well as offering a diverse music experience – the bustling food market, Sourced Market, returns again, serving up culinary treats direct from the best stalls at Borough and Broadway markets. There will also be a broad program of theatre, art and comedy for those wanting to take timeout from the music performances.

Ticket Details

Tickets are available from www.lovebox.net as well as from Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.co.uk) or by calling 08448472436.

Online PR: MySpace Puts Fans In the Picture

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

LONDON, Thursday 28th January 2010; A ground-breaking new application offers music fans the chance to appear in exclusive videos with their favourite stars. The stellar line-up includes 50 Cent, Alicia Keys, N-DUBZ, Pixie Lott, Chipmunk, Florence and the Machine, David Guetta and Lostprophets.

50-Cent

MySpace Music today launches a brand new application that enables music fans to star alongside some of the biggest names in the worlds of pop, hip-hop, dance, indie and rock in a range of exclusive personalised videos.

The application, which is accessible HERE, works by seamlessly inserting fans’ photos into the videos, each of which has been filmed exclusively for MySpace by the eight artists. The completed clips can then be easily shared via MySpace, email, Twitter, or posted to the user’s Facebook profile. The artists have all been brought on board to represent a range of genres that reflect the diverse wealth of music content now available on MySpace Music.

The cream of current UK music talent is represented, with N-DUBZ, Pixie Lott, Chipmunk, Florence and the Machine and Lostprophets all creating unique video offerings. Fans are able to join Florence in a photoshoot, appearing alongside her own Polaroid snaps; or spend a day hanging with Pixie Lott at a picnic in the park with friends; or even hit the dancefloor at a roller-disco with Chipmunk. The international artists have also pulled out all the stops, with 50 Cent’s video bringing his fans right into his apartment to take pride of place on his wall, while Alicia Keys offers up a personal musical tribute, and David Guetta invites fans into an impromptu party in a record store, alongside music luminaries Danny Rampling and Peter Hook.

The application is the latest development from MySpace Music, a new service that launched in December 2009, offering an unrivalled catalogue of music and video to stream for free without interruption. The inspiration behind the application came from MySpace’s ongoing commitment to bringing artists and fans closer together than anywhere else. The application was created by top London advertising agency BBH and leading production companies Pulse Films. Post production came from Absolute Post and digital partner Domani Studios in New York.

The full list of videos with which fans can interact is as follows:

 Alicia Keys – the talented diva sings a song just for you – with your picture pride of place

 50 Cent – the US rap icon has a favourite new piece of art – you!

 Florence and the Machine – join Florence on a photoshoot and appear amongst the Polaroid snaps

 N-DUBZ – become the band’s number one fan, as they admire your photo

 Chipmunk – the star tears up the dancefloor at a roller-disco, then reveals he keeps your picture close to his heart

 Lostprophets – a sneak peek into a rock’n’roll tattoo session, with a shrine built especially for you

 Pixie Lott – a chance to hang out with Pixie for a picnic in the sun – she’s got her sights on you

 David Guetta – the superstar DJ spins some tunes, and you’re the face of the party

Sophie Rouse, MySpace’s Head of Campaigns, said, “MySpace allows fans to connect with their favourite artists in a genuinely immersive and personal way. To mark the launch of MySpace Music we wanted to bring to life this special relationship, giving fans the chance to ‘star’ in a film with their favourite acts and share it with their friends. All the artists involved thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to thank their fans in this way and the results are hugely entertaining.”

A further three seasons have been commissioned and broadcast.

Since concluding the partnership agreement, LoveLive and Rockfeedback have secured major framework agreements with labels, as well as numerous commissions and licensing deals from relevant and quality consumer brands looking to tap into their alternative music and live events expertise.

Coca Cola Europe commissioned an exclusive viral to promote its recycling campaign “Keep it going. Recycle”. Recycle: The Life Story Of A Coke Bottle was created and produced by LoveLive and has been translated for local markets across Europe.

Rockfeedback club nights regularly feature bands before they break or that would normally play to much bigger audiences including Graham Coxon (Blur), The Temper Trap, The Kooks, Foals and Jamie T.

Commenting on the partnership, Toby L, Creative Director and Founder of Rockfeedback, said: “For nine years, Rockfeedback has been a self-sustaining passion project, and we’ve been fortunate to receive a loyal fanbase of clubnight attendees, television viewers and website readers. Now, however, the chance is with us to dripfeed and post our archive of material on a much more significant basis the world over. Our mission to promote honest, life-changing music hasn’t changed – it’s now with the bonus of being able to occur on a bigger scale. The deal with LoveLive marks a thrilling new chapter in the Rockfeedback story, conveniently in time for our tenth anniversary in 2010!”

Richard Cohen, Founder & CEO, LoveLive, added: “Literally within minutes of meeting with Tim and Toby, it was clear to me that we needed to be in business together. Their boundless energy, passion for and knowledge of all things music, combined with a track record in delivering quality editorial and programming was crying out for a larger platform and commercial framework. As they happen to also be extremely likeable, we wasted no time in establishing our partnership which combines all of the Rockfeedback attributes, with commercial discipline, financial backing and a significant distribution network. I could not be any more excited by the opportunities we now have to further develop this business together and expand our activities across international territories and repertoires.”
