After seeing British rock band Yonaka at Sea Sessions, we can't recommend them enough. With a badass lead singer and an album full of bangers, they're ones to watch.

Alt-rock band Inhaler are also on the rise, featuring Bono's son as the lead singer of the indie four-some.

Irish-English rapper Maverick Sabre also adds another level of Irish musicianship to the billing, what a talented man.

Born in Hackney, his family moved to Wexford when he was a youngster and grew up following singer-songwriter rappers like Plan B.

We would love to know what kind of conversations were happening back stage at this festival that is for sure.

The line-up for Apple Music Festival has revealed that super band One Direction will be performing, but it’s their support act that is making us all do a double-take.

Little Mix have been announced as the support group for the 1D boys.

That could be a bit awkward, no? Well, considering Perrie of Little Mix and Zayn Malik formerly of One Direction are currently having the most public break up ever, then maybe.

Although, in recent days it seems like the boys have been possibly taking sides.

​Zayn has been a very active twitter user recently, and started a bit of a row with DJ Calvin Harris.

Following this little spat between the two music men, former bandmate of Zayn, Louis Tomlinson favorited the tweet which was Calvin’s response to Zayn’s Taylor Swift diss.

Fans of the band who coined the phrase ‘Zouis’, were left devastated. These were the fans dedicated to celebrating the bromance that existed between Zayn and Louis.

Meanwhile, other peformers, who are not the midst of Twitter battles were also announced to play the festival.

Florence + The Machine, Pharrell Williams and Disclosure are also set to perform at the festival which fans will be able to view on Apple Music Connect if they can’t make it the actual gigs.

Speaking about the concert Niall Horan said:

“It'll be great to be back in London and we can't wait to perform for our fans in the Roundhouse and around the world on Apple Music! See you there!”

The festival takes place over 10 nights starting on 19 September, so perhaps things will have cooled down between the pop stars by then.

Electric Picnic 2015 has sold out.

That's right, it has sold out with three months still to go before the festival.

Speedy fans have snapped up approximately 35,000 tickets for the music and arts festival that takes place in Stradbally, this September.

Headlining the show this year is Blur, Florence and the Machine, Sam Smith, and The War on Drugs, with loads more performances.

It certainly seems as if the recession is turning into somewhat of a distant memory, as it was only two years ago that Electric Picnic sold out for the first time since the financial crisis hit.

While the weekend, Sunday day, campervans, family weekend, and family campervan tickets are all sold out, there are a limited number of VIP tickets still available through Pink Moon camping.

With a stellar line up and a sold out crowd, Electric Picnic 2015 is shaping up to be one of the best yet.

Foo Fighters front man, Dave Grohl, broke his leg last night when he fell off the stage while performing at a concert in Sweden.

The former Nirvana member proved how he really is the hardest man in rock when he went off to get medical attention but then CAME BACK and finished the rest of the concert.

Now, that is seriously hard core!

The band went on to play cover songs while the 46-year-old got help but, in true rock and roll form, he was back an hour later and continued the rest of the concert while sitting in a chair with his leg bandaged.

As much as we don’t think it, celebrities falling off stage is a frighteningly common occurrence.

Let’s take a look at a few of the most recent celebrity on-stage tumbles.

Florence Welch

The lead singer of Florence and the Machine broke her foot when she leaped off the stage at Coachella last April.

The Edge

The U2 guitarist fell off the stage at the opening night of the band’s most recent tour when he misjudged his step and took a tumble.

Madonna

The 56-year-old took a serious dive when she fell off stage and down a flight of stairs after a dancer tried to remove a cape she was wearing at the beginning of her routine.

Iggy Azalea

The Trouble singer was one of the luckier ones as a security guard caught her when she hopped right over the edge of the stage.

Harry Styles

Well, this one had nothing to do with the choreography or the set. We all remember when Harry was bent over double after a… “fan” threw a shoe and hit him straight in the groin. Ouch!
