2011 has been a great year for music and for MMU Radio. We have had several new shows up and running, and new interviews from several bands that visited Manchester, check out all of this content at http://mmuradio.co.uk/ ...In 2012 get ready for more content than ever before, and several surprises that I can't tell you too much about yet.
Since I have told you about the year in music on this blog, I thought it would be a good idea to follow this up with a preview of next year. I know that you all still buzzing from the news that S Club 7 and Steps are both reuniting next year (maybe you were secretly excited, who knows), but first things first - The Stone Roses are back together for a few shows at Heaton Park, the first two of which sold out in less than 15 minutes. The band will also play the 2012 T in the Park festival. There is also talk of the original line-up of Guns 'N' Roses performing at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Bands also inducted included The Faces, Beastie Boys and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Next year also see's another album from guitarist Slash, with Miles Kennedy (Alter Bridge) on vocals. Elsewhere, there is a preview of a new song from The XX here, so expect more material from them. The NME Tour features Two Door Cinema Club, Metronomy and Tribes. Meanwhile, Misfits are set to return with their 8th studio album and a tour in Feb. Looking ahead to summer, Blink 182 and Pearl Jam have UK arena tours, which look promising. At Donington Park, Download Festival is it's 10th year with Metallica, The Prodigy, and Black Sabbath headlining. Over at the Isle of Wight Festival several acts have already being confirmed, including Crystal Castles, Madness, Noah & The Whale, The Vaccines and much more, in support of headliners Tom Petty, Pearl Jam and Bruce Springsteen.
Whilst you await all of this, why not re-live this year with my previous blog posts '2011 in Music' and the spotify playlist: http://open.spotify.com/user/zach19/playlist/7FnCnsBdIobjrpW8Wgm6df
