En route to Glastonbury

The waterproofs are packed, the sun cream is not. Glastonbury, I am coming to you.

From a news point of view, one person is going to dominate the headlines and that person is Parton.


Admist the work, I'm hoping to catch Jurassic 5, Wolf Alice, Chvrches, The Black Keys and Lana Del Rey. I suspect Rudimental will see a sales boost from their main stage set, but Arcade Fire - while incredible live - will seem strange and wonky on TV. Prince is not turning up, and Cliff Richard hasn't died.

My updates from the festival will be on Twitter - @BBCNewsEnts for the official stuff and @mrdiscopop for the nonsense. But I'll mostly be locked in a Portacabin writing web pages for the BBC website.

All that activity means the blog will be silent for a couple of days - but to keep you going here's a new single from Sia.



And a new single from The Saturdays (and Xenomania!)


And the quite impressive opening of Jay-Z and Beyonce's joint "On The Run" tour.


See you next week!
