Michael Jackson's curtain call:

Speaking to the press regarding his scheduled July appearances at the O2 Arena in London, the star revealed that they will be his last.  Of course the news made the concert tickets very popular and advance ticket sales for the July 8 concert already began in March with prices ranging from 50 to 75 pounds. Michael Jackson has not cut an album or has appeared in a concert since 2001.

 

 

U2 preparing a tour:

They will begin from Barcelona on June 30 and will be promoting their new disc, No Line on the Horizon. According to disclosures from the organizers, the tour will include some ambitious, never before seen specs, such as a stage set for 360 degree viewing by the audience and a cylindrical video screen. The band members speak enthusiastically about the tour which will stay in Europe until August 22, then on to America on September 12. With a concert promoter like Live Nation, the U2360 tour is expected to dazzle with the latest technology.

 

Slumdog Millionaire:

 A.R. Rahman swept this year’s Oscar ceremonies with the music from the Slumdog Millionaire film, and rightfully so. His collaboration with MIA and the very traditional Indian rhythms he enveloped the film, he managed to express the intensity of childhood and the frantic rhythms connected to the life in the slums of Bombay. Fresh, exotic, rhythmical, Slumdog Millionaire resembles a multicoloured mosaic that you can pass hours observing. Percussions, oriental melodies and vocals appealing to the "middle eastern" Greek soul take us to a far away journey to a strange but alluring India. 

 

Enemy:

The first thing one must say about this disc is that it is Nikita Klint’s -from the group Rothes - first solo project. Enemy is admittedly one of the best debuts we have seen this year because, by combining all of its author’s different influences, it substantially underlines the fluid nature of music today. From dub to reggae, rock and breaks, everything seems to fit into Nikita’s personal vision with distinctive but interacting elements. With Enemy you will dance, you’ll chill out, you will ponder and stare at the wall and you will feel like twirling round and round like a mad dervish.
