• The Weeknd has released a video for a remix of his track ‘The Hills’ , featuring Eminem. It’s one of those 360º videos that people think are good now, for some reason.
• Little Mix have announced that Nathan Sykes, formerly off of The Wanted, will support them on their UK tour. So that’s nice. For him.
• Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden have now both been confirmed as headliners for next year’s edition of Every Metal Festival Ever. Sorry, I mean the Download Festival. Black Sabbath’s set will be part of their ‘Final Ever And We Really Promise That We Mean It Tour’. Sorry, I mean ‘The End’ tour.
