THE BIG MIX, various venues, Shoreditch, London, 18 Jun: Performances from Cocknbullkid and The Pipettes, and a DJ set from Frankmusic, are all new on the cards at this charitable music bash, which was already set to host an impressive roster of acts including Clare Maguire, Newton Faulkner, and folk-rockers Treetop Flyers.

GLASTONBURY, Worthy Farm, Somerset, 22-26 Jun: Eavis and co have revealed the full line-up for Glastonbury’s late night entertainment hub Shangri-La, confirming Neneh Cherry, Rob Da Bank and Shy FX & The Ragga Twins amongst the huge raft of performers. A DJ set from Breakage is also scheduled, as is a Prince-inspired show by Bobby Friction.

RADIO 1’S HACKNEY WEEKEND, Hackney Marshes, East London, 23-24 Jun 2012: Held in honour of some little-known sporting event, this Radio 1-hosted hoopla will feature performances from Plan B and local girl Leona Lewis, plus a score of as-yet unconfirmed supporting acts. Free tickets will be dished out through a lottery system, with the majority allocated to long-suffering local residents. Hurrah! www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/events/hackneyweekend2012/
