"Why not dress like an egg?"

A very good question from one of the many festival heads who are getting into the spirit at Wilderness as we speak.

For them it's about music, food, debates and yoga apparently.

We'll hear more about that in Monday's MNL and maybe hear from one or two of the acts as well.

For us today it's been all about Lorde, Muse, Camilla, Liam G, T Rex, Kesha, Ziggy Marley and Morrissey...to name but a few.

Scroll down to find out why and for 5 Things We've Learned This Week too.

Like these two above, have a 'cracking' weekend and see you on the 'flip side' (not even sorry about that last one).

BBC 6 Music

Tomorrow marks the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd releasing their influential psychadelic album The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.

Founding member Nick Mason spoke to 6 Music's Elizabeth Alker earlier today about the changing cultural landscape since it's release in 1967.

The sticksman said he never thought the album's legacy would last half a century.

Listen above.

Music licensing organisation PPL are also marking the anniversary by compiling a chart of the most-played Pink Floyd songs on UK radio and TV.

So if you don't want to know the results, please look away now.

Drum roll please Nick...

1) There is no new Strokes album coming soon

Whatever Albert Hammond Jr's dad may have told you.

Got it?

The guitarist was forced to deny rumours last weekend that the band were set to record a new record with Rick Rubin.

His dad - plain old Albert Hammond - is the source of the rumour after he told the The West Australian, external that it was happening.

He said: “I speak to my son every day and he says that they’re so happy."

Junior has since stepped in on social media to nip the rumours in the bud, saying his dad got " a prematurely excited" and that "a theoretical album plan would be years away, if at all".

This all raises the question...Is This It for The Strokes?

We also learned that there's still no love lost between the New York band and Ryan Adams, after the singer dissed both Albert Hammonds in one fell Liam Gallagher-esque Twitter swoop.

He said:

2) Bucks Fizz are back (minus the Bucks)

One time Eurovision-winners Bucks Fizz are back with their first new album in 30 years.

They've dropped the Bucks, due to an ongoing dispute with former member Bobby Gee but The Fizz's new track Dancing In The Rain (below) still has plenty of pop sparkle.

Jay Aston from the band said: "Despite the challenges over the years, we are more united than ever.

"The fans have been with us all the way."

3) Sheryl Crow is still alive

There appears to have been some confusion but the 55-year-old US singer has cleared things up emphatically... with a song.

Sheryl was apparently so amused by a tweeter who has suggested that she would be "rolling in her grave" over rapper Kid Rock's decision to run for Senate in his home state of Michigan, that she decided to respond with a musical ditty.

Dude I'm Still Alive contains the lyrics:

"If Kid Rock runs for Senate / I wouldn't be surprised / But not over my dead body / Cause dude I'm still alive."

4) Lady Gaga's Joanne World Tour is up and running

Lady G's Joanne world tour commenced in Canada on Thursday night and saw the star perform a career-spanning 22-song set at the Rogers Arena, in Vancouver.

She gave her usual nod to the LGBTQ community by raising the rainbow flag (above) and by the looks of it had about 15 costume changes.

We limit it to three per day on Music News LIVE.

5) Bestival could be the end of the Quest for a Tribe Called...

The US hip hop act hinted at their imminent breakup by announcing that they've played their last ever concerts in LA and New York.

Referring to his late band-mate, rapper Q-Tip was reported as saying on stage: "This is our final performance here in LA as Tribe, obviously because Phife Dawg, our anchor, has been called to another mission.”

Now all that remains on their tour schedule is four gigs, culminating at a certain Dorset festival next month.

Get there early for that one maybe.

And while we are talking rap endings, Andre 3000 of Outkast suggested the end could be nigh for him too... in a hip hop sense.

He said: "At this stage I’m really more focused on what I am going to be doing 10 years from now. And I hope to God it won’t be rapping."

Just don't tell the news to this police officer from Camp Bestival last weekend, whatever you do.

He loves to shake it like a Polaroid picture...

More new music now courtesy of London-based multi-international psych garage rockers The Pacers, external.

There's all sorts of confusion going on here in the trippy new video for their track Mirror Man. It's the second single from their as-yet untitled debut album which is expected to arrive in time for Christmas (handy that).

Some cracking Paisley shirts - as well as riffs - on display here.

Check it above.

BBC Music reporter Kev Geoghegan is down on the ground at Wilderness festival.

He's been talking to a few festival fiends who have been explaining their decision to "escape the craziness" of the city for a few days, in search of culture and "something different".

Oh and food too. Food is always good.

Apparently the festival site is "like Glastonbury but smaller."

Not our words, the words of these crazy cats above.

T Rex frontman Marc Bolan's only child is suing Sony for using his dad's track Debora, external in their summer action film Baby Driver allegedly without permission.

Feld Bolan won the rights to the track three years ago.

An LA court heard yesterday how the defendants "neither apologised nor offered to pay a reasonable license fee" for the track, which featured on the film about a music-obsessed getaway driver.

The track, released in 1968, was Bolan's first hit after forming the psychedelic glam-rock band (known initially as Tyrannosaurus Rex).

Sony are yet to comment.

Yes, you!

The former Spice Girl has announced her new single Room For Love and is asking fans to appear in the video.

If you fancy it, get listening to her latest album Version Of Me which the track features on, and think about what you could bring to proceedings.

Mel wants you to "sing the song in a way that makes you most happy".

She's also made the following suggestions for things that could help you achieve this happy state.

• Dress up
• Go to your favourite place
• Invite your friends
• Dance like crazy

That's probably just an average Friday night for a lot of you.

Head over to her website , externalfor more details.

Here's the Elton singalong we promised earlier, directly from the top of a bus at Wilderness festival a short while ago.

Close your eyes, you can almost smell his flowers.

Not a bad way to spend a Friday afternoon.

Come on now you know the words...ROCKET MAAAAAN....

BBC 6 Music

A celebration of Jamaican culture, life and accomplishments takes place this weekend in London, featuring musical performances from the likes of Ziggy Marley, Freddie McGregor and Nadia Rose.

Jamaica House 2017, which will run from 5-13 August, commemorates the last ever competitive race of the world's fastest man Usain Bolt.

You know, this guy...

Ziggy, son of legendary reggae singer Bob Marley, told 6 Music's Elizabeth Alker about the "defiant" and "rebellious" nature of his compatriots and how modern music is lacking an "inspirational message".

The 48-year-old singer suggested that many out there today are too scared to speak out for the sake of their careers and that they have a duty "to make humanity better".

Listen above.

The sun isn't quite shining at Cornbury Park yet but the crowds are piling into this Lilly's slice of Wilderness, external in darkest Oxfordshire.

Not many music events get underway with a lecture from Tribe's Bruce Parry and end with a Sunday night headline slot from Grace Jones.

In fact, there is even a class in making some headwear that Grace herself would approve of.

This afternoon has a bit of a Nordic flavour with Norway's Sigrid and Sweden's First Aid Kit on the stage later.

Oh and there's even an Elton John singalong from on top of a bus...

Good news for all you Beliebers out there...

JB will not face any charges after hitting a photographer with his car, police have said.

The 23-year-old Canadian singer was leaving church last week when his car knocked over the man who was taken to hospital with non-life threatening industries.

The Beverly Hills Police Department said there were no violations by either Bieber or the photographer.

This comes just days after Bieber cancelled his world tour, telling fans he needed time out to "be sustainable".

Today's Music News LIVE page is fraught with US gig peril.

First off all extreme weather scuppered Lorde and Muse, then Liam's own voice put paid to his show (scroll down).

Now blinking bees have delayed a Matchbox Twenty concert by more than an hour in Arizona.

Fans were kept outside the open-air venue at Tucson's Casino Del Sol resort while exterminators dealt with the unwelcome stage divers.

They were reportedly buzzing (sorry) to be allowed inside the 5,000-seater AVA Amphitheater around 21:15 local time.

Lead singer Rob Thomas posted a picture of a beekeeper at the venue with the message: "Can't make this up!"

Here's the band winging it backstage...

After several years away from music, fighting legal battles, Kesha is making up for lost time by posting her second new music video in as many weeks.

New track Hymn follows a similar religious theme to first comeback single Praying and both tracks, as well as last week's video offering Learn To Let Go, will appear on forthcoming album Rainbow which lands next Friday.

The 30-year-old LA singer has posted an essay with the track, which is dedicated to "people who feel like they don't have a hymn."

Amen to that.

Check out the song here, external, but be warned there is a swear word in it, and the essay above.

Some light weekend reading right there.

Speaking of new music check out yesterday's MNL (top right of this page) for the new one from Jake Bug and Wednesday's for the latest from Everything Everything.

The unauthorised Morrissey biopic England Is Mine is out in UK cinemas today - you can read what its director and star had to say about it.

Morrissey hasn't had anything to do with the film (apart from, you know, living his life) so Moz-watchers are waiting to see what he thinks of it.

One clue might be the fact he's just put England Is Mine T-shirts on his official online store, external. The title comes from the Smiths song Still Ill - "England is mine, it owes me a living."

Coincidence? Is this a tacit endorsement? Does he figure that if anyone's going to cash in, it should be him? There's no rant about the film on his Facebook page yet - but the weekend is young.

Given his fierce protection of animal rights, there is an alternative version of the T-shirt with pictures of farmyard animals and the words "England is theirs and we owe them a living".

Rihanna is donating bikes to girls in Malawi in order to help them to get to to school.

The campaign called 1 Km Action will fund scholarships to help hundreds of girls attend secondary schools in the southeastern African nation.

It's part of a new partnership between the star's Clara Lionel Foundation and Chinese bike-sharing company Ofo.

The 29-year-old Barbadian singer said: "I'm so happy...it will help so many young people around the world receive a quality education.

"And also help the young girls of Malawi get to school safely, cutting down those very long walks they make to and from school all alone."

Lorde fans and the singer herself were left "gutted" last night after the Illinois skies ruined her festival show (scroll down for more).

By way of some consolation she's released the video to latest single Perfect Places, which sees her running on the beach and swimming in a lagoon in search of places where her and her friends can get "off our faces."

There's some swearing in the track so we can't embed the video sadly but you can find it here, external. Remember though if you choose to click on that, we did warn you.

In the track the New Zelaander declares that she "hates the weather".

How prophetic.

Okay let's dry ourselves off and get New Music Friday up and running, shall we?

She teased us earlier in the week with a drive-in movie trailer now Camila Cabello has given us two new tracks for the price of one.

Not literally, but they've both landed in time for today.

First up is the tale of a holiday romance in the Cuban capital as the 20-year-old former Fifth Harmony singer confesses that her "heart is in Havana."

Half of it at least. Always best left at the airport those ones...

Luckily Atlanta rapper Young Thug is on hand to console her and you can check it below.

CC has gone all hip hop on track two with the help of another US rap star Quavo.

The track is called OMG and sees the Migos man plug his former smash hit No.1 single Bad and Boujee during his verse.

Check that one out below too.

We've picked our favourite in the MNL office but we're not going to tell you which one. Nope, you can't make us.

(Only joking, all Camila tracks are equal in our eyes).

Liam Gallagher must be wishing that the Chicago storms had arrived a little sooner.

Prior to Lorde and Muse having to abandon their Lollapalooza shows three songs, LG performed on the same bill for 20 minutes at least then departed the stage due to vocal problems.

The 44-year-old singer tweeted his explanation in typically forthright manner:

The Chicago crowd at least got two Oasis classics; Rock 'N' Roll Star, Morning Glory, lead solo single Wall of Glass and half of new track Greedy Soul before it all came to an abrupt end.

Watch the moment that Liam left the stage early below, as the band valiantly played on...

Honey and lemon Liam...

Better luck today Chicago peeps.

Severe thunderstorms in Chicago have brought the first night of Lollapalooza, external festival to a crashing end.

Drenched festival-goers in the windy city's Grant Park were evacuated after headliners Lorde and Muse were told by festival organisers to quit their shows just a few songs in.

The Kiwi singer posted the above video of her "soaked" backstage and promised to make it up the US crowd in some form or other soon.

Check out the moment that Lorde's show finished prematurely below.

On stage she told the crowd: "I guess the festival has said the weather is too crazy for us to play right now".

"Have a drink. I'm sorry, I love you, I'll be back" she added, more in hope than anything...

In another tweet, the 20-year-old singer said she was "gutted" and pointed out what a "melodrama*" the whole thing was.

*If you know, you know.

The Devon space rock trio tweeted that they were similarly "gutted" and posted the below picture on Instagram, alongside a caption thanking the "amazing fans".

Always thank the fans...

They wrote: "Very sad Chicago City & police evacuated Grant Park early on in our show tonight due to lightning strikes nearby. We will be back as soon as we can. Thanks to all those that were rocking in the storm. Amazing fans as always."

The festival is set to live stream performances from the Killers, Run the Jewels and Mac DeMarco throughout the weekend.

It seems at the time they rather underestimated the power of the gods...

Woop woop!

The guy behind Camila (above) is already reaching for his pint, see?

Anyway perhaps more importantly - for the next eight hours or so at least - it's also New Music Friday, which today brings not one but TWO treats from that lady above and a new video from Lorde, plus a fresh cut from indie kid Car Seat Headrest too.

We'll also bring you news of another big festival fail, as more pesky weather ruins Muse and the aforementioned Kiwi singer's big gigs in Chicago.

Liam Gallagher's own voice curtails his performance at the very same festival.

Later on we'll reveal 5 Things We've Learned This Week - aside from bad weather can ruin everything. That one comes for free...
