Last.fm Presents

So last night in London we had the wonderful Glasvegas, Two Wounded Birds and Es Muss Sein giving everyone in the sold out crowd a true night to remember. Now that the dust has settled, it’s time to move forward and look to our next night which has a slightly different feel. We have teamed up with the great people at Spinefarm Records to bring you Swedish metal giants Amaranthe plus support from label mates Dynazty and Soen (their first ever UK show). The night of noise takes place on Tuesday 22nd May at the Relentless Garage in London. For more info on the event and ticket info, take a look at our event page here

The West Coast synth-songstress Nite Jewel plays Bowery Ballroom on April 24th for the third installment of Last.fm Live in NYC. Nite Jewel (born Ramona Gonzalez) has steadily climbed our Hype Charts since her 2009 debut Good Evening, and now her position in the world of electronic pop has secured itself with a stellar new album – One Second Of Love. Also on the bill are Mac DeMarco and Sophia Knapp; the former a purveyor of dusty, melodic synth jams, and Sophia the rising queen of throwback A.M. pop radio.

Berlin based, London born Gold Panda has been making serious waves since his debut Lucky Shiner back in 2010 - an album that has scrobbled a massive 2,259,574 times. His blend of lush melodic techno, chopped up with hip-hop beats and natural yet obscure samples have been a hit with tastemakers across the board. With that in mind, go ahead and check out this free download of ‘MPB’ he’s supplied us with ahead of his live performance at the Field Day festival in London. Oh and don’t forget - Last.fm Presents are proudly hosting a stage there so stay tuned for more on our lineup! We already announced Summer Camp and Last Dinosaurs in our post below but there’s much more to come. More info on Field Day can be found here.

We are delighted to announce that our relationship with the fine people at Field Day continues for the 2012 edition of the festival. Like last year, we’ll be hosting a stage there and we can assure you our lineup is quite special. Whilst we can’t break the full lineup on our stage just yet, we can say that the wonderful Summer Camp and Last Dinosaurs will be there. To get you even more excited for the day, which takes place on Saturday June 2nd at Victoria Park in London, Tom Baker is producing Field Day Radio - with interviews from Field Day artists such as Django Django, Metronomy and more. Click here to listen and click here to check out the latest lineup and information on Field Day 2012 (a bunch of new artists got added yesterday!) Also stay tuned as we’ll be back soon with more info on our very own Field Day lineup.

Following on from our successful partnership with HP last year, which bought artists such as Ghostpoet, DELS, The Boxer Rebellion, We Are Augustines and The Leisure Society to the stage, we can present to you the ‘Turn On The Sound Inside’ Live Series, in association with HP. The Last.fm live experience will be leaving London and heading to the north of England for a series of free shows. The first stop is next Tuesday 27th March at Brudenell Social Club in Leeds featuring Folks and The Sundowners, with Folks having just returned from European dates with Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. Belakiss, on the flyer above, unfortunately had to pull out due to illness. Catch these bands whilst you still can in a small venue, all for free. Entry is on a first come first served basis - click here for more info. See you there!
