And talking of festival rumours, reports suggest that Franz Ferdinand are set to headline the Reading and Leeds weekends. They are, it's speculated, along with Muse, two of three big names to have been approached to take a place at the top of the bill.
Kaiser Chiefs are also rumoured to be appearing, although it's said that they have rejected a headline slot at the event, whilst Arctic Monkeys are expected to headline the second stage.
Other acts expected to make the effort are The Flaming Lips, Alice Cooper and buzzy buzz buzzsters Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
