Well, that's all we have for you today.

Scroll back down for loads of new music from the likes of TLC, Calvin Harris, Rudimental and Mura Masa.

Plus the trailer for the new Morrissey film, New Order at the launch of the Manchester International Festival and read Annie Lennox's awesome response to being offered a career leg-up by a radio station in Los Angeles.

Yep, we can see the potential in this plucky young newcomer...

So we all know Danielle, Este and Alana from Haim by now.

If you don't, then check yourself, or at least check out their Glastonbury set.

They really brought the Californian sun with them to Somerset (or at least that's what they told us).

But did you know that there is actually a fourth Haim sister?

Nor did we. Apparently she's finally read to join the band...GULP.

Watch below courtesy of the people at Funny or Die.

1) Ed Sheeran rocked the house at Glastonbury

Ed Sheeran rounded off one one of the driest, ergo 'best', Glastonburys of recent years with a barnstorming set at Worthy Farm on Sunday night.

Despite the singer having to defend himself from claims he played to a backing track, he got some rave reviews for his performance.

Elsewhere fellow headliners Radiohead played a 'wayward but compelling set' whilst Foo Fighters finally made their Pyramid stage slot two years late.

If your tastes are broader, that are still loads and loads of video performances which you can watch on the BBC online.

2) Ed Balls is no fan of Radiohead

“The atmosphere for Radiohead is funereal. The end of each song barely acknowledged by anyone other than the hardcore fans at the front."

Ouch.

The former MP-cum-amateur ballroom dancer was scathing in his Guardian review, external of Thom Yorke's merry band of men at Glastonbury.

Ed, apparently preferred the altogether bouncier sounds of Major Laser.

3) Britney doesn't lipsync...OK?

Britney Spears launched a furious defence of her live shows after she was accused of lip synching in a fan shot video., external

The footage showed her struggling to remove a mic while her singing mysteriously continued unabated on the speakers.

She told an Israeli television station: "I do have a little bit of playback, but there's a mixture of my voice and the playback.

"It really pisses me off because I am busting my ass out there and singing at the same time and nobody ever really gives me credit for it."

4) Adele might NEVER tour again

There. We said it.

She still has two nights left of her four nights at Wembley Stadium but Adele has said they could be the last.

Crowning an epic world tour, a handwritten note in the programme confirmed: "I don't know if I'll ever tour again."

She added: "Touring is a peculiar thing, it doesn't suit me particularly well. I'm a real homebody and I get so much joy in the small things. Plus I'm dramatic and have a terrible history of touring."

5) Going to gigs makes you happier... FACT.

And we like to think that we play a small but important part in that here at Music News LIVE.

According to a new Royal Albert Hall, external study of 2,000 UK adults, two thirds of us are ‘happier’ and ‘more stimulated’ when listening to live music

And almost three quarters of us say "live music can make an event feel more special".

So if you're off to see a band, singer, orchestra, or even picking up a guitar this weekend; do it with a smile on your face.

You're not alone...

Okay, some more new music for you now.

If you're on the EDM scene and the Scottish DJ doesn't know you then your probably not worth knowing. Sorry.

Calvin's fifth studio album - the brilliantly-named Funk Wav Bounces Vol.1 - features a stellar line-up of guests including [breathe in...] Ariana Grande, Frank Ocean, Migos, Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams and Snoop Dogg to name just a few.

Ahead of the release, the 33-year-old producer from Dumfries has been speaking to GQ mag about what it's like to be the richest DJ in the world and how "all hell broke lose" after he split up with ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift.

The next music icon to get a big screen biopic is Morrissey, and the first trailer's just arrived.

Warning: Third party content may contain ads

Music biopics can be problematic and Morrissey is a tricky character to get to grips with - and has fiercely protective fans - but early reports about England Is Mine are encouraging.

Scots actor Jack Lowden plays the young Steven Patrick Morrissey and the film ends when he meets Johnny Marr and forms The Smiths.

It's been made by Oscar-nominated Mancunian director Mark Gill. He told the BBC:

The film gets its premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival this weekend and is out in UK cinemas on 4 August.

On Thursday's MNL we shared with you Mura Masa's new collab with Christine and the Queens dubbed the Hottest Record by none other than Radio 1's Annie Mac.

Well, Mura must be in a generous mood as he's only gone and released another track, this time working with Gorillaz and Blur frontman Damon Albarn.

You can listen below to the stripped back track...

We doubt we'll ever see the figures but it's bound to be worth ££££££££££...

Sir Paul and Sony have a reached a deal in a battle over who owns publishing rights to The Beatles' songs, The Hollywood Reporter, external says.

He had gone to a US court, seeking to regain the rights to 267 of the band's classic tracks.

He has been trying to get them back since the 1980s, when Michael Jackson famously out-bid him for the rights.

Jackson's debt-ridden estate sold the songs to Sony last year, along with others including New York, New York.

Sir Paul's legal case, filed in a Manhattan court in January, was over what is known as copyright termination - the right of authors to reclaim ownership of their works from music publishers after a specific length of time has passed.

He claimed that he was set to reacquire the Beatles songs in 2018, but said Sony had not confirmed that it would transfer the copyrights to him.

"The parties have resolved this matter by entering into a confidential settlement agreement," Sir Paul's attorney Michael Jacobs wrote in a letter to US District Judge Edgardo Ramos.

All you need is love folks. But rights - rights are important too.

Woop woop!

Finally the US girl band's follow-up to 2002's 3D has arrived and after consulting with their fans about what to call it they've gone for ... [drum roll]

...TLC. Oh well, what's in a name?

The important thing is what's on the record and The Guardian, external give it 4/5 stars saying: "Chilli and T-Boz turn back time".

Meanwhile the NME, external give it 3/5 but say that TLC "arrives with a genuine sense of defying a career unfulfilled."

Second mention of the day from us for Snoop Dog, as he features on two tracks.

Check out new song American Gold below, on which the girls sing:

I lost some friends, some friends that I didn't want to / I lost some stars, my heart bleeds red, white and blue.

A patriotic nod to late former member Lisa Left Eye Lopes perhaps.

BBC Radio 2

Rapper/soul star Plan B has hinted that he is prepared to give up music if it interferes with bringing up his young daughter.

The singer was a guest on Jo Whiley's show on Radio 2 and talked about his changing priorities and his new album "which will be done soon".

He released In The Name of Man earlier this year, his first new music since Ill Manors in 2012.

"I've had the luxury of not having to work and now I have to take myself away from it," he told Jo.

"It's like heaven on earth, its my own little bubble and having to come out to do this, which I equally love but I find quite scary.

"If it's as relentless as I know it can be, I've got to worry about what effect that has on my daughter and I know which choice I'll make if it comes to that point."

Listen to the interview above.

In Ibiza. Where else?

The annual International Music Summit has been debating sexism within the clubbing industry, with issues ranging from women DJs being paid less to sexual harassment.

The event was co-founded by Pete Tong in 2008.

You'd think that smashing the Pyramid Stage would be enough but it seems that Dave Grohl's favourite Glastonbury moment was hanging out with fellow rock 'n' roll frontman Liam Gallagher.

Speaking to the NME, the Foo Fighters singer said: “You know my favourite moment of the whole night?

“Five minutes before we go onstage, Liam Gallagher wanders in.

"He goes straight over to Taylor and says, ‘That ****** song – Range Rover Bitch!' - Then he starts singing a song from Taylor’s solo record.

"Then he turns round to me and goes, ‘And your [stuff's] alright, too!’

You can still catch incredible sets by both Dave and Liam's bands from Glastonbury over on the BBC Glasto page right now.

The Seattle band's new record Concrete & Gold has been produced by Greg Kurstin who also produced Liam Gallagher's debut solo album.

We can't wait to hear both. Greg has previously worked with the likes of Adele so can we expect big piano ballads from Gallagher and Grohl?

We doubt it.

As well as staging five special New Order gigs, the Manchester International Festival is paying tribute to the band with an exhibition at the city art gallery.

Half of the exhibition is made up of memorabilia from the New Order and Joy Division days - posters, videos, album covers and the handwritten Love Will Tear Us Apart Lyrics.

And the other half is art which the band(s) - and their designer Peter Saville - have influenced over the years.

It's been co-curated by Matthew Higgs, director of the White Columns Gallery in New York. He explains:

Adele set fire to the rain/skies over a packed Wembley Stadium for the second of four historic nights last night.

The singer, who revealed in the programme notes that she might not ever tour again once these shows over over, will be back at the home of English football on Saturday for more.

Whoever the London cabbie is that's taking her home from inside the stadium each night is getting a fair few decent fares out of it we reckon too.

She left early again to beat the traffic...

Little Mix have beaten off competition from the likes of Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay and Stormzy to be crowned best live act at the O2 Silver Clef Awards.

US rapper and business brain Jay Z has released new album 4:44 but you'll have to be a subscriber to his streaming service Tidal to hear it.

The record sees Mr Carter team up with Frank Ocean once more for a collab on Caught Their Eyes.

Other song titles include Kill JAY-Z, Family Feud and The Story of OJ.

Jay apparently disses his former bezzie Kanye with lyrics including: "You walking around like you invincible / You dropped out of school, you lost your principles / I know people backstabbed you, I felt bad too".

There are some rather revealing lyrics about his relationship with wife Beyonce.

We don't really want to go down the gossip road here on MNL but let's just say that 'Becky with the good hair' makes an appearance again (fans of Beyonce's Lemonade will know what that means).

Some fans have shared what seems to Jay's own track-by-track description online, in which the hip hop star describes the album's title track as "one of the best songs I've ever written."

Many of you are buzzing about the new record and its apparent revelations while others without access to Tidal are left feeling a little flat.

She's won eight Brit awards, four Grammys and has sold in the region of 80m albums worldwide, so Annie Lennox was tickled to receive an offer from a Los Angeles radio station of being put on their new music playlist.

She posted a copy of the email from 'Kylie' on her Facebook page, external with the note "I think I'm in with a chance ??!!"

The email states that 'Kylie' came across Annie's music online "and really liked what I heard".

She apparently "finds artists who I think have potential."

We think 'Kylie' could be on to something here...

First up today on New Music Friday are Canadian indie band Arcade Fire.

They've just released Signs of Life, the third track from forthcoming record Everything Now, which they debuted live at their recent gig in Scunthorpe.

We must confess they've been baffling us all lately with their apparent 'fake news' conspiracy theories on Twitter to promote the record.

Excellent post-truth marketing guys. You got us!

Montreal's finest teased the cool new track on Wednesday with the above video of the band in shiny suits all clapping in unison, while a girl smokes and a couple head off on a boat journey.

On the track, Win Butler sings: "Those cool kids, stuck in the past / In a world of cigarette ash."

Listen to it now in all the usual places.

New Order got a hero's welcome when they came home for the first of five gigs at the Manchester International Festival, external last night.

The festival always does things a bit differently, so for New Order that meant being joined by a 12-piece synthesizer ensemble on a specially-designed stage and avoiding their greatest hits, instead delving deeper into their back catalogue.

That all made it feel a bit more special for the crowd who were watching them in a former Granada TV studio. I think it's the one that used to house the indoor sets for Coronation Street.

The band took a while to warm up, mind you. Bernard Sumner spent the first half of the show looking pretty grumpy and complaining about technical problems. Now with grey hair and seemingly a bit shrunken in his frame, you could mistake him for cricket umpire Dickie Bird in a certain light.

I left just before the end to leg it up the road to see a Manchester band at the start of their careers - 14-piece hip-hop crew Levelz.

Fourteen people on the intimate stage at Gorilla meant it was bedlam, and their combined energy made it feel like they were ready to burst out of that place and onto a stage 10 times the size. And I don't think it will be long before that happens.

They also did a particularly brilliant encore.

You can read more about both gigs.

The BBC have a temporary new home in Festival Square (aka Albert Square) for the duration of the festival and Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie will broadcast their 6 Music show there today from 13:00 BST.

They will be welcoming many of MIF’s top guests including Richard Ashcroft, Billy Bragg, James, KC and the Sunshine Band and Jane Horrocks, plus Dave Haslam, Peter Hook, Graeme Park and Rowetta.

Mark Radcliffe said: “MIF really creates a buzz and the city crackles with all manner of intriguing artistic endeavours, and of course everyone loves carousing effervescently in Festival Square. We can’t wait!”

Mark spoke to Levelz on yesterday's show and you can check it below.
