That is it.

Like Dua Lipa (above), today's music news will soon vanish into a puff of smoke.

Before it does, scroll down to get some excellent last minute Hallowe'en costume ideas from the likes of Beyonce, Jay-Z and Matt Helders. Frank Ocean scrubs up well too at his big 30th bash and Camila is looking good for a #1 finish this week.

Plus there's new music from Skepta, lots of early festival news and find out why Liam and Ed are heading for the couch.

Magicians never reveal their sources though, so you'll have to take our word for it.

Just time to say a big happy 54th birthday to guitar wizard Johnny Marr and we'll see you on the other side.

Happy haunting.

BBC Radio 1

So why not give it a listen?

It's by Bedford alt rockers Don Broco and it's a "breakup song" called T-Shirt Song.

You know that feeling when you're swinging your T-shirt around your head to the Baywatch theme tune in a moment of great catharsis?

Yeah that.

Check out the full story of the song - which starts at around 3.50 - above.

BBC Radio 1

Grime star Stormzy popped into the Radio 1 studios for a chat with new-found boxing fan Nick Grimshaw yesterday.

Grimmy went to Cardiff to see Anthony Joshua defend his WBA and IBF world heavyweight titles by beating Carlos Takam with a controversial 10th-round stoppage. The rapper loves his boxing too and describes it - rather eloquently - as being "like a football match in a nightclub".

Listen above as he recalls the nerve-wracking time he provided the ring walk-in music for Joshua back in 2015, appearing on live TV for the first time in the process.

Justin Vernon has announced a reissue of the first Bon Iver album, For Emma, Forever Ago, in honour of its 10th anniversary.

One of the all-time great break-up albums, it was written in isolation, after Vernon retreated to a cabin in rural Wisconsin and spent the winter chopping wood, growing his beard, and writing laments including the emotionally compelling Skinny Love.

The reissue will feature new artwork and an in-depth essay by Bon Iver collaborator, Trever Hagen. There are more details on the official Bon Iver site, external.

Vernon has also announced an anniversary show for the album on 17 February in Milwaukee which he promises will be a "one of a kind set featuring guests of old and new".

BBC 6 Music

Okay the working day is nearly done, let's have some Hallowe'en fun shall we, courtesy of the good people at 6 Music.

What is your goth band name?

Well it's simply "The", plus the last word of the final text message that anybody sent you, then "of" into the title of the first single you bought.

We'll go first: The Birthday of Bat out of Hell.

Fun for the whole family tonight while you're bobbing for apples.

The Last Ship is inspired by Sting's childhood growing up in Wallsend.

It stars his close pal Jimmy Nail - who was in the Broadway production, which closed early after three months in 2015.

Now a new version of the production is to premiere at the city's Northern Stage theatre.

The 66-year-old has been telling BBC arts reporter Sharuna Sagar all about how you don't need to be a Geordie to get what's going on...although it probably helps.

Kelly Rowland and Josh Homme aren't the only ones who can throw a good do (scroll down).

Frank Ocean celebrated his big 3-0 this weekend by hosting a 'Paris Is Burning'-themed party, after the 1990 documentary of the same name which chronicles the 'golden age' of New York’s drag parties.

Frank's good pal Tyler The Creator was in attendance, along with recent star of Later...with Jools, SZA, external.

Check out the crystal-encrusted trousers on the birthday boy above.

No pressure people with your costumes tonight.

Remember the Liam G news from earlier about him, his lad and his mam going on the telly to watch the telly? (scroll down)

Well same goes for Ed.

The award-winning singer/songwriter will sit on the sofa alongside Big Narstie and Example on the show, which will be shown on Friday.

Sitting on the sofa is about all Ed's fit for currently, after the bike accident that left him with a broken rib, elbow and wrist.

We hope one of the other two will change the channel for him.

For most people this would constitute Hallowe'en fancy dress, but Bjork would probably wear this just to nip to the shop.

The Icelandic artist has announced that her forthcoming ninth studio album Utopia will be with us on 24 November, making the world a better place.

Though her gratitude to the cover artist (above) comes directly from Jupiter apparently.

Bjork posted the above artwork on her social media channels, alongside the below message.

"I am so overwhelmingly humble while announcing my album utopia is coming out end of nov. i can´t wait for you to hear it. this is the cover made by the warm extraordinary talented @truekanda, external and was assisted by me, @james.t.merry, external and@isshehungry, external. thank you for telepathically getting me!!"

Check out lead single The Gate above.

Earlier we saw how well pop/rap stars Bey and Jay play dress up (and we've got a fancy looking Frank Ocean to come yet peeps...), now we can bring you some of rock 'n' roll's most haunting Hallowe'en efforts from this year.

The likes of Romy from The xx and Jehnny Beth from Savages have posted images of themselves at a frightening-looking bash - somewhere else in LA - alongside a brilliantly fake-bearded QOTSA frontman Josh Homme.

Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders even rocked up, see?

Or is that Brian May?

Jehnny posted the below picture of her with one of her musical heroes, Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

It was accompanied by the caption: "My 15 years old self is having a complete meltdown 😱".

Heads will roll if she finds out you de-horned for this pic Jehnny.

Another strong effort though team.

More festival news now (scroll down for word from V and All Points East).

It seems that festi' season has been put on shuffle for 2018. Glastonbury is off; V has lost its sponsor; Radio 1's Big Weekend is expanding and now Bestival is moving...

Traditionally placed at the tail end of the season, the event is moving to the heart of the summer and will take place on 2-5 August, 2018.

That's probably for the best - after high winds resulted in the event being temporarily evacuated this September.

One of the most eye-catching festivals in the UK, Bestival always has a theme - and next year the whole event will turn into a giant carnival.

"Yes fellow Bestivalites it’s time to run away and join the Circus," said organiser / ringmaster Rob Da Bank in a statement.

"Bearded freaks, insane acrobats, high wire daredevils, mutant jugglers and an out of control ringmaster all eager for you to join the most colourful show on earth await!"

Eight years after his death, Michael Jackson is still earning millions of dollars.

According to Forbes' annual list of top-earning dead celebrities, the star's estate made $75 million (£57 million) last year thanks to a new greatest hits album, Cirque du Soleil show and part-ownership of the EMI music catalogue.

Elvis Presley was the fourth highest-earning celebrity, with $35 million, followed by Bob Marley, who ranked fifth with $23 million.

The other places in the top five were taken by non-musicians. Golf legend Arnold Palmer was the second-highest earner, with a fortune built upon an iced tea drink bearing his name.

Charlie Brown creator Charles Schulz took third place, after making $38 million last year.

So we all go to fancy dress parties dressed as our musical heroes but it turns out they do too!

Take a break from sneakily carving an evil face into your pumpkin now to admire the Hallowee'en efforts of pop's leading couple Beyonce & Jay-Z (above left).

Bey and Jay dressed as New York rappers Lil' Kim and the late Notorious B.I.G. as they attended a seasonal Hollywood bash hosted by former Destiny's Child star Kelly Rowland (above, far right).

Top effort. The standard has been set by the big two.

French-Cuban duo Ibeyi popped into Huw Stephens' show on Radio 1 last night to perform a piano session.

As well as playing their sublime single Waves, the sisters gave a dramatic reading of Rufus and Chaka Khan's Ain't Nobody.

It's spine-tingling stuff so grab your vegan salad/sausage roll/whatever, take five and enjoy.

It will improve your work output this afternoon.

By the way, you can read our interview with Naomi and Lisa-Kainde over here.

Lorde, LCD Soundsystem, The xx, The National and War On Drugs are all set to play a new festival in London, run by the organisers of Coachella.

All Points East is billed as a three-day festival and 10-day conference, which will run in London's Victoria Park from 23 May to 3 June, 2018.

There'll be six stages in all, with more acts to be announced in November (that's tomorrow).

Tickets go on sale this Friday. You can get more info on the official website., external

BBC Radio 2

Chic and co brought the funk to the BBC last night as part of Radio 2's In Concert series and you can sample a medley of two of their many hits above.

Ahead of the show, Nile Rodgers had a chat with Jo Whiley, and talked about some of the band's best (and worst) gigs, including the time Prince made an unscheduled cameo.

If that's not enough anecdotage for you, Nile recently spoke to BBC Music News LIVE reporter Kev Geoghegan about the time his grooves made the King of Sweden play 'air-guitar'.

And you can Watch the full show via the Radio 2 site now.

*Warning: This post contains a very early festive feel.

Pop star Sia has unwrapped a bubbly new single, Santa's Coming For Us, which is the first taste of her new album, Everything Is Christmas.

"Nights are getting shorter / Hot chocolate fills the air," she sings, improbably; before the sleigh bells rattle and she serenades the "deer in the sky as they jingle, jingle, jingle tonight".

It's a mess, lyrically but the song's so infectiously joyous that you'll forget all about it.

Just try not to mis-type the title like we did earlier. Satan's Coming For Us is a much darker song than the one Sia intended.

Not much to add to that headline, really.

Gorillaz have announced a new single - Garage Palace - which doesn't feature on their current album, Humanz.

It'll premiere on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show later today, as per the band's Twitter feed.

The release will fuel fans' hopes of a new Gorillaz album this side of Christmas.

They have form in this area - Damon Albarn recorded 2010's The Fall, while touring the same year's Plastic Beach album.

That record was given away free, external to fan club members on Christmas Day.

Yesterday we left you with the news that Virgin was ending its 22 year sponsorship of the V Festival.

But that doesn't spell the end of the event. Festival Republic MD Melvin Benn has confirmed to Music Week that the festival will continue at the same two sites in Chelmsford and Staffordshire on the same weekend, just under a new name.

Plans are also in place to expand the festival to a three-day event.

Benn said: "The festivals will continue, we have the announcement later in November of the replacement name.

“We are looking forward to the new festival now, it’s just something that we are incredibly excited about.”

Perhaps they'll do it in alphabetical order like tropical storms, although the W Festival doesn't have the same ring to it.

Camila Cabello's Havana has been sitting patiently at number two for the last three weeks, while Post Malone's Rock Star dominated the top of the charts.

But, according to the latest chart update, she's finally about to overtake the US rapper and score her first number one.

Havana is currently in the lead by 3,500 downloads and streams. It’s the first time the song has taken the lead in the midweek charts.

While we can't fault her chart efforts it seems Camilla however has put little thought into this year's Hallowe'en costume...

Over in the album charts, Stereophonics are heading for their seventh number one with their Hallowe'en themed 10th album Scream Above The Sounds.

The rest of the top five illustrates the divide between the singles market, which is driven by streaming; and the albums one, which is dominated by the over-35s who still buy CDs.

Remember them anyone?

Michael Ball and Alfie Boe's second album Together Again is heading for a new entry at number two, after the pair broke the official world record for the most public appearances by a musical act in 24 hours.

Blackpool, Sheffield, Manchester, Nottingham, London - Done. Bosh! Take that Westlife...

Elsewhere Gregory Porter's covers album Nat King Cole & Me is currently at number three, while last week's number one; a re-release of George Michael's Listen Without Prejudice, is at four, followed by Pink's Beautiful Trauma.

Okay pop pickers, you are up to date.
