Live Listings: 15 February 2008

Hi, I'm Nate Lanxon, and this is Encoded's new live listings show, where I read out all the new listings added to eBay in the "metaphysical and new age" category. No, I don't really. We're going to talk live music.

Jay-Z has been confirmed to headline this year's Glastonbury Festival, which takes place at Michael Eavis' country crib between the 27th and the 29th of June. At the moment, there's not much else to say about the line-up, except that Neil Diamond has also been confirmed to play, which to be honest, probably wasn't worth saying either.

Sticking with festivals, tickets to this year's End of the Road festival have just gone on sale. Go to the official website www.endoftheroadfestival.com to buy some. Last year's event featured Herman Dune, Seasick Steve and British Sea Power, so expect more of the same.

Holy F**k, or Holy Flip as we'll call them for the sake of sensitive ears, have announced an eight-date tour in April to support the release of their latest single 'Lovely Alien', which features remixes from Minotaur Shock, Riton and No Age. It kicks off at The Theckla in Bristol on the 1st.

Legendary blueshound Andre Williams is playing three shows in Blighty next week. Without the influence of Andre, bands like the White Stripes would sound as diluted as granny's Ribena, so head to Birmingham, Brighton or London and pay your dues. 

Catch Emmy The Great throughout February as she embarks on her biggest UK tour to date. Starting out at Brighton's Komedia on the 12th, the lovely Emmy takes in 12 cities as support to Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, finishing off at the Phoenix in Exeter, on the 24th. She's also off to South by Southwest in Texas in March, so if you're lucky enough to be heading out too, then like, check her out or something.

Good news for Supergrass fans is that accident-prone drummer Mickey has recovered from his broken back and has rejoined the band. After Mickey fell out of the window of a French chateau, Gaz and Danny performed as Diamond Hoo Ha Men, playing a legendary instore in North London's Pure Groove record shop. Now he's back, and to celebrate this they've added some extra dates to their March tour. All the details are on their MySpace page.

Finally, Australian electro combo Cut Copy head over to the UK for the first time in almost two years, praying that we'll all buy their new album once we've seen their ace live show. The tour starts at Koko in Camden on February 12th and ends in Bristol Carling Academy on the 26th, with the album, Ghost Colours, following in April.

That's enough from me, I'm off.
