Florence Welch told the NME of the new single, “At lot of the time when I’m writing, things will just appear. I was writing the song and this book on symbolism was lying around, and it had the painting in it. It’s nice to mix the ordinary with extraordinary.”

Florence and the Machine have already completed their new album, although no release date as been confirmed as yet.

Stay tuned for Florence and the Machine tour dates as and when they are announced.

She tweeted today, “‘Hello interworld, I’m out of the studio and into the sunshine! Pop over to my website at 5pm tomorrow for a peek at something very special x.”

Given that her follow up to the magnificent Lungs has already been completed one would assume that she is about to give us a look at what the follow up will be like. Fans are also hopeful that once the new album is out, Florence and the Machine will tour once more.

As soon as they are revealed Florence and the Machine tour dates will be available here.

The line up for BBC Introducing Stage is as follows.

The singer, made famous for her songs such as Rabbit Heart and Dog Days Are Over, is currently in the studio with her band and has revealed some interesting news about how they work.

She told the Daily Star, “Everyone – the whole band – gets dressed for work, puts on their big robe, and comes down to the studio. I love seances, witchcraft, heaven and hell, voodoo, gospel, possession, demons, exorcism and all that stuff. I’m not a religious person. Sex, violence, love, death, are the topics that I’m constantly wrestling with, it’s all connected back to religion.”

This rather interesting comment shows that the the next album with continue her themes of rather unusual lyrics, but fans are hopeful that she can maintain her amazing song-writing craft on the next record.

Once the new album is released, fans are also hopeful of another tour.

Stay tuned for more Florence and the Machine news and tickets.

Fiery fashion vixen and front-woman of Florence and the Machine, Florence Welch, has been confirmed as the new face of Gucci.

Gucci creative director Frida Giannini said that Florence had been the inspiration behind this years autumn collection  ”As I was imagining this collection I was thinking of a strong and somewhat mysterious muse. Florence is that kind of woman. She has a powerful personality and an entrancing quality to her performances.”

Fiery Florence will take to the Gucci stage, not in her usual role as a singer but as a model, wearing the autumn-winter collection of lower hemlines, long sleeves and flowing garments.

Florence and The Machine Tickets and Tour Dates are available online.

Buddy Holly would have been 75 years old this September. The singer died tragically in 1959 at the tender age 22. Florence and The Machine have compiled 19 songs covered by varying eclectic  artists from Paul McCartney to Kid Rock and have included their own cover of Buddy’s  ’Not Fade Away’.

Beyonce’s new album ’4′ has been inspired by Brit sensations Adele and Florence And The Machine.

’4′ is released on June the 27th and among our British talent Beyonce was also inspired by legend’s Prince and Jackson Five.

The album is sure to be an eclectic sound as she has found inspiration in a wide range or genres and eras: “I also found a lot of inspiration in 90s R&B, Earth Wind & Fire, DeBarge, Lionel Richie, Teenie Marie… I listened to a lot of Jackson Five and New Edition, but also Adele, Florence And The Machine, and Prince,” she said. ”Add in my hip-hop influences, and you can hear how broad it is.”

wow. Thats a lot of sounds and “broad” could be a massive understatement!

’4′ is the fourth studio album from Beyonce,  perhaps this was Adele’s contribution to the inspiration process, since her albums are named after the age she was when writing them? No. Beyonce’s fans inspired her on this creative journey, lucky fans.

Beyonce is performing at T in the Park on July the 9th. T in the Park Tickets are available online.

DJs Fearne Cotton and Greg James revealed that the ‘Born This Way’ singer will play the main stage on Sunday, May 15.

Florence performed new singles Strangeness and Charm, and Heavy In Your Arms, a song recorded for the latest Twilight film. As well as these tracks, the crowd were treated to a breathtaking cover of Fleetwood Mac’s The Chain.

Florence and the Machine will be headlining Latitude Festival on Friday 16th July and music fans can expect much more of the same magic showcased at Glastonbury. Latitude Festival tickets are still widely available from trusted ticket websites, and Friday day tickets are currently trading for £100 on fan-to-fan ticket exchange website Viagogo.

The festival will also host the likes of Vampire Weekend, Belle and Sebastian, Laura Marling, Rodrigo Y Gabriella, The Temper Trap and The Maccabees.

They have recently announced a tour of the United States to take place this autumn, which comes as they complete work on their eighth studio album. However, what will be more of note to UK fans is that the official band website reveals that there will be news of UK dates to come later this year.

Those fans that cannot wait until then will have a chance to see the Belle And Sebastian at Latitude Festival. The Glaswegians headline Saturday July 17th 2010 above Crystal Castles, The Maccabees, James, Frank Turner, Corinne Bailey Rae and the xx, with many more acts across the three days.

Florence And The Machine, The National, Vampire Weekend and Grizzly Bear headline the two biggest stages on the other days of the festival, and Latitude Festival tickets are on sale now. Weekend tickets are available from £226 through official festival partner Viagogo.

Koenig had something rather different in mind.

He recalled a time when his band played alongside Basement Jaxx in Sweden, and as the dance music kings began to play Where’s Your Head At?, Vampire Weekend donned gorilla suits and jumped around like maniacs.

Pretty rock n’ roll indeed.

Vampire Weekend are one of the three headline acts to be performing at Latitude Festival in Suffolk this year, alongside Florence & The Machine and Belle & Sebastian. Vampire Weekend will close out the Sunday night of the festival, and Latitude Festival tickets are on sale now. Weekend tickets beginning at a price of £226 through official festival partner Viagogo.

Prior to their Latitude slot, Vampire Weekend will play at T In The Park in Scotland, and Oxegen Festival just outside Dublin.

Arcade Fire, Muse and Eminem headline the event, with very able support coming from acts of the calibre of Jay-Z, the Black Eyed Peas, Kasabian, The Prodigy, Florence and the Machine, Groove Armada, Earth, Wind & Fire, Fatboy Slim, Tinie Tempah and Chipmunk – and that is only naming a tiny selection.

Oxegen Festival tickets are on sale now, with both weekend tickets and day tickets still available. Day tickets begin from £80 through Seatwave, while weekend tickets can be found from €224.50 through Ticketmaster, which is equivalent to £191.88 using today’s conversion rate.

V Festival tickets are widely available from fan-to-fan ticket exchange websites. Day tickets listed on Ticketmaster partner site, GetMeIn are currently trading between £100 and £150. Weekend tickets are available on Viagogo from prices starting at £220.

Isle of Wight Festival tickets:

Fans with Isle of Wight Festival tickets can expect big things this summer, with a line-up that could be considered one of the best festival bills of the summer. The event will be headlined by Jay-Z, The Strokes and Paul McCartney and there will also be appearances across the weekend from the likes of  Florence and the Machine, Blondie, Calvin Harris and Biffy Clyro.

Isle of Wight festival weekend with camping tickets can be picked up on the secondary ticket market for around £185. Alternatively, weekend tickets without camping can be bought for as little as £120.

Hard Rock Calling tickets:

Although only in it’s fourth year in 2010, Hard Rock Calling is quickly establishing itself as one of the best London festivals of the year. This year, as well as his Isle of Wight appearance, Paul McCartney will be headlining, along with Pearl Jam and Stevie Wonder. Other acts include The Hives, Jamiroquai, Crowded House, Crosby, Stills and Nash and Elvis Costello.

Although weekend tickets are not available, Hard Rock Calling day tickets are currently trading for as little as £40. That is less than the average price paid to see Paul McCartney perform at his upcoming headline shows here in the UK.

Reading and Leeds Festival tickets:

Perhaps a festival aimed more at the younger generation of festival goers, the Reading and Leeds festival boasts a huge line-up that can surely compete with that of Glastonbury. Blink 182, The Libertines, Guns N’ Roses, Arcade Fire, Dizzee Rascal and Cypress Hill will all be appearing on the main stage throughout the weekend.

Expect to pay around £230 on the secondary ticket market for a weekend ticket with camping to either Reading or Leeds. Considering the face value price was around £190 when the tickets went on sale a few months ago, it is well worth spending the extra few pounds to take advantage of the fantastic line-up.

Hop Farm Festival tickets:

Hop Farm Festival may not be the most talked about festival of the summer, but it will this year play host to the likes of Bob Dylan, Pete Doherty, Van Morrison, Laura Marling and Seasick Steve. The festival takes place in Tonbridge this July and is probably the cheapest alternative to Glastonbury this summer.

Day tickets cost around £45 each, with camping tickets costing £25 on top of that.

Gorillaz tickets:

Although not exactly a festival alternative, Gorillaz will be touring the UK in September on the back of their Glastonbury headline appearance. The band will be appearing at venues such as Glasgow SECC, Birmingham NIA, Newcastle Metro Radio Arena, Manchester MEN Arena,London O2 Arena and Dublin O2 Arena.

Gorillaz support acts for the September UK tour are yet to be announced, but expect some big names after appearances from Bobby Womack, De La Soul, Shaun Ryder and Super Furry Animals songwriter Gruff Rhys at the band’s Roundhouse shows in April. Ticket prices start at around £40.
