The seventh annual Afro-Punk Festival will take place at Commodore Barry Park in Brooklyn at the end of August (the 27th and 28th, to be precise), and the just-announced lineup looks pretty incredible: Cee Lo Green will headline, and the once-again-active Santigold, the always-spellbinding Janelle Monáe, the Yes In My Backyard alums Cerebral Ballzy, and the shape-shifting Philadelphia soul singer Res will also be on the bill. As will Fishbone! There'll also be food from more than 20 trucks courtesy of the Afro-Punk Bites&Beats Food Truck Festival, and a BMX competition.

Bonnaroo 2011 lineup features Eminem, Arcade Fire, more

If you enjoyed the musicians you saw on Sunday’s Grammy Awards show, you’ll see plenty of comfortingly familiar names on the lineup for this year’s Bonnaroo music and arts festival — and if you didn’t, well, you’ll still have lots of other acts to choose from. Eminem, the rejuvenated rapper who suddenly seems to be everywhere these days, will be among the headliners at this year’s festival, which runs from June 9 through 12 in Manchester, Tenn., its organizers said on Tuesday. And whether or not the Internet knows who they are, the Canadian indie rockers of Arcade Fire, who surprised some with their album of the year win for “The Suburbs,” are also at the top of the bill. Other top acts include the reconstituted Buffalo Springfield (featuring Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Richie Furay, Rick Rosas and Joe Vitale); the roots rock bands Widespread Panic, My Morning Jacket and String Cheese Incident; the Grammy-anointed blues rockers the Black Keys; Mumford & Sons, which shared the Grammys stage with Bob Dylan; indie rock acts the Strokes and the Decemberists; and the never-not-interesting rapper Lil Wayne. The bill will also feature Dr. John and the Original Meters performing “Desitively Bonnaroo,” the 1974 album from which the festival takes its name; and the Global Gypsy Punk Revue, a special stage curated by Eugene Hütz, whose band Gogol Bordello is also performing at the festival.

Beyonce Headlining Glastonbury Festival

Beyonce has been confirmed as a headliner at this year's Glastonbury Festival, which will take place from June 22-26 in South West England. The R&B/pop star, who is currently working with producers like Sean Garrett on her fourth album, will perform a 90-minute set on the final day of the fest.

Beyonce -- who is nominated for two Grammy awards this year -- was last seen on stage supporting her 2008 album, "I Am... Sasha Fierce," during her "I Am... World Tour," which ended last February. Rumors spread earlier this week that the singer would be headlining Glastonbury alongside U2 and Coldplay, although no other performers have been confirmed yet.

"This really is the biggest festival in the world and I cannot wait to perform there. Everyone who attends is really appreciative of music and is in such a good mood that entire weekend," says Beyonce in a statement. "I'm pumped just thinking about that huge audience and soaking up their energy."

Beyonce was last seen at Glastonbury Festival in 2008, watching her husband, Jay-Z, perform a headlining set. The festival, which expects an audience of 200,000 this year, featured Gorillaz, Muse and Stevie Wonder as headliners last June.

Lollapalooza headliners to include Eminem, Muse, Foo Fighters

Eminem, Muse and Foo Fighters will be among the headliners for Lollapalooza when it returns Aug. 5-7 to Grant Park.

Reliable industry sources confirmed the bookings Tuesday. Lollapalooza promoters C3 Presents had no comment, but the Eminem booking is a coup. The hip-hop artist is expected to win his first album-of-the-year prize at next Sunday’s Grammy Awards for his latest album, “Recovery,” the best-selling album of 2010. The Foo Fighters — fronted by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl — are returning with their seventh studio album in April, the band’s first set of new material in nearly four years. Muse will be playing a few festival shows while readying its next album this summer; the U.K. band scored its first major U.S. hit with its 2009 release, “The Resistance.”

Also expected to play Lollapalooza, according to several industry sources: Best Coast, Girl Talk, Crystal Castles and Lykke Li. At least three more headliners will join Eminem, Muse and Foo Fighters.

The complete Lollapalooza lineup is expected to be officially released in April.

Beyoncé to headline Glastonbury 2011, gossip website claims

The last time she was at Glastonbury it was on the sidelines, watching her husband Jay-Z rip up the rule book as he won over a vast crowd of largely sceptical revellers, but it now looks like Beyoncé is to take centre stage at this summer's festival.

The queen of R&B looks likely to join U2 and Coldplay as headline acts at the 2011 instalment of the world's biggest festival, if rumours are to be believed.

U2 will headline the festival on the Friday evening, with Coldplay on Saturday and Beyoncé bringing festivities to a close on Sunday, according to the gossip website Holy Moly. Festival organisers would neither confirm nor deny the rumours.

Beyoncé's other, though certainly not better, half was a controversial choice in 2007, but a powerful set and a few well-aimed jibes at his detractor Noel Gallagher were well received by fans and critics.

U2 were due to play at Glastonbury's 40th anniversary last year before their lead singer, Bono, injured his back, and have made no secret that they want to play this year. At the time of the cancellation, the band said they were "heartbroken" and in October they posted a message on their website, which read: "Looking at the tour dates – there is a gap in the band's schedule ahead of the East Lansing show on June 26th, which would make the Friday night a possibility."

Later a note was posted advising U2 lovers to try to get their hands on tickets for the festival. A final none-too-subtle hint came in the guise of a new song, called "Glastonbury", which features the line: "There are some things you just can't control; sometimes you just can't let go."

Coldplay last played at the festival in 2005. But Beyoncé, a huge name in pop, is not an obvious fit with the sprawling festival behemoth. The organiser Michael Eavis has said his Sunday night headliner would be "an American artist that I've been wanting for yonks and yonks".
