RONSON HELPS CREAMFIELDS TO THE HIGHEST SALES IN ITS HISTORY...

Creamfields have announced that the inclusion of Mark Ronson as one of this year's headline acts has helped the UK's Number One dance festival achieve its highest ticket sales figures in its 10 year reign.

Festival organisers have revealed that they have sold 10,000 tickets to date - 60% up on previous years sales. Following on from last year's sell-out 40,000 show, it is the best ever start in the history of Creamfields - thanks to the line-up of Ronson and headline acts such as dance legends The Chemical Brothers, Groove Armada as well as Kelis, LCD Soundsystem and Carl Cox - and the new kids on the block New York Pony Club - all performing tracks from their latest album releases.

Following the release of his sophomore album, Version - which features an eclectic mix of covers by the likes of Amy Winehouse, Robbie Williams and The Kaiser Chiefs - Ronson has become the UK's hottest pop star - topping the UK album, singles and download charts. The uber-producer is making his debut at the festival which takes place on Saturday August 25th in Daresbury, Halton, Cheshire - playing live and DJ-ing.

"Creamfields is a legendary festival, I've always wanted to play there and the fact that we'll be debuting there with the full live band is even fresher. I can't wait," says Ronson.

“By attracting an audience of billions, we hope Live Earth will launch a global campaign giving a critical mass of people around the world the tools they need to help solve the climate crisis,” said Live Earth Co-Chair Vice President Al Gore. “But ultimately, corporations and governments must become global leaders taking decisive action to stop global warming.

Live Earth is a monumental music event that will bring together more than 2 billion people to combat the climate crisis. Live Earth’s 24 hours of music across 7 continents will deliver a call to action and the solutions needed to answer the call. Live Earth marks the beginning of a multi-year campaign to move individuals, corporations and governments to take action. Live Earth is joining with The Climate Group, Stop Climate Chaos and The Alliance for Climate Protection on this effort.

Exclusive online media partner MSN is helping Live Earth reach people in every corner of the globe. The concerts will be streamed live on 7/7/07 at LiveEarth.MSN.com. MSN’s 39 localized web portals worldwide attract 465 million monthly users. The concerts will be broadcast on the BBC in the UK and on more than 120 networks around the world.

Wall also announced that Smart Car and Stonyfield Farm have joined Live Earth as corporate partners. In addition to working with Live Earth to create corporate efforts to combat global warming, this growing list of partners will help ensure a mass audience for Live Earth is reached. These efforts will be detailed at a later date.

Iceland Airwaves Festival Announce First Acts...

The 9th annual Iceland Airwaves festival will take place in various venues all over downtown Reykjavík from October 17th -21st 2007 with approximately 170 acts to play!

So far confirmed to play this year are  Bloc Party, Elephant Six ,  !!! (chk, chk, chk) Buck 65 and Moshi Moshi Records' Best Fwend.

Local acts scheduled to perform at Iceland Airwaves 2007 include festival favourites GusGus and Iceland’s other favourite electronic act, múm  will play their first ever Airwaves live-set.

'Reykjavík’s proximity to a plethora of geysers, waterfalls and other natural phenomena that are unlike anything found elsewhere in the world helps earn the festival some of its merit, although it’s main attraction has always been the music. Making a point of always showcasing a healthy mixture of local and international talent, the festival often features bands on the brink of it-dom well before they gain international notoriety (cases in point: The Rapture, TV on the Radio, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah). Iceland Airwaves’ location – in the numerous and infamous bars and clubs of 101 – adds a final touch of charm to the world’s northernmost music festival' www.icelandairwaves.com
