Linkin Park is leading an all-star lineup of acts who are lending never-before-released songs to the new music collection, Download To Donate For Haiti. It's a digital compilation dedicated to help raise funds and promote awareness of the recovery efforts following the earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince and its surrounding areas on January 12th. Also on the set are Slash, the All-American Rejects, Hoobastank, Alanis Morissette, the Dave Matthews Band, Peter Gabriel, Enrique Iglesias, Kennam, Lupe Fiasco/Kenna and others.
Muse, Gorillaz and Jay-Z will lead the lineup of the 11th annual Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, scheduled for Friday, April 16th, Saturday, April 17th and Sunday, April 18th at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, which the event has called home since its 1999 launch. More than 130 acts will appear, including Faith No More in their first North American live gig since reuniting last year, Them Crooked Vultures, Vampire Weekend, MGMT, Thom Yorke???? -- yes, with the question marks -- Phoenix, Julian Casablancas, the Dead Weather and many more.
Electronic rock duo MGMT say that they won't release any singles from their upcoming sophomore effort, Congratulations, which is set to arrive this spring. Ben Goldwasser of the Brooklyn-based act told NME.com, "We'd rather people hear the whole album as an album and see what tracks jump out rather than the ones that get played on the radio -- if anything gets played on the radio. There definitely isn't a 'Time to Pretend' or a 'Kids' on the album."
