- The tenacious diva will be joined at the London festival by Booka Shade, Henrik Schwarz, Hercules & Love Affair and Joy Orbison.
- Grace Jones, Roxy Music and Dizzee Rascal have been announced as this year's headliners for Groove Armada's Lovebox Weekender. Lovebox first began as Groove Armada'a residency at 93 Feet East in 2002, before steadily expanding into the large multi-day festival that it is today. 2010's Lovebox sees the organisers move to a three-day format for the first time, keeping the same 50,000 people site in Victoria Park. There will now be a Friday date on July 16th tagged to their usual Saturday and Sunday programme, featuring plenty of electro-house and urban styles from Brodinski, Joy Orbison, Riva Starr, Sinden, Toddla T and Newham Generals. Henrik Schwarz and Dixon will be repping their Innervisions label on the Saturday alongside Jesse Rose and Booka Shade, while disco and electro-pop seems to be the remit for Sunday's shenanigans, featuring performances from Hot Chip, Hercules & Love Affair, Horse Meat Disco, Chromeo and Cut Copy.
