Hola and bienvenidos! Hope everyone had a smashing weekend like this tired ol' gal did. 

 

 

 

Save for my wallet getting jacked during M.I.A.'s set at The Creators Project on Saturday, I have no complaints about the fleet of radness that shipped through my soul and my body over the past 3 days. Let's some bits, yeah?!

So much of the rad to get caught up on after a rainy weekend, as obviously the inclement weather forced every contact I've ever made to send new and hot tunes my way.

Shakira Added to Glastonbury Line-up (and world tour update)

Just this past weekend, a bunch of friends and myself had a brief "oh my god can we all just say how much we love Shakira" swoonfest. Sure, we super dig the gal, and we'll be the first to admit it...well, we've done it before a number of times. So now is as good a time as any to get some updates from our "she in wolf's clothing". See what I did there? Puns and word play!

 

 

While the majority of the line-up for the June 25-27 festival was announced last week, additions to the 3-day fest are still be announced and added to the bill. Shakira will play the Pyramid Stage on Saturday the 26th.

 

Additionally, Shakira's She Wolf World Tour is the planned concert showcase in support of her third English-language studio album, She Wolf. The tour is set to begin near the end of May, with a full list of cities and dates to be revelaed within the next 2 weeks. SEAT will sponsor the tour and is already advertising it on German TV. 

 

On her offical website, she announced that fans will get to choose who will open each show on the tour. Once the contest starts, up and coming artists will be able to upload videos to the website for the fans to choose from. No word on when this begins yet, but will update when more information is made available.

 

Now one question remains: who's going to this show with me? Aaaah-woooo!
