We've got a statement now from Green Day over their gig in Glasgow's Bellahouston Park being cancelled just hours before the first bands were due to take the stage.

"Glasgow, we are very sad to report that our show today at Bellahouston Park has been cancelled," it said.

"The local Safety Council, production crew, and concert organizers have deemed the stage unsafe for the fans and everyone involved.

"We are very distraught about this as we are in Glasgow now and were very much looking forward to this show as one the highlights of our tour.

The statement added the band "love our Scottish fans" and "don't care if its raining sideways".

So did anybody catch the new Edgar Wright film Baby Driver yet?

It's certainly on our things to do list this week.

The Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz director's latest effort centres around a music-mad getaway driver who times/soundtracks his escapes to his favourite songs

If this plot sounds familiar to you music lovers then that's because it probably is.

Edgar first used a similar character - played by Noel Fielding - in the video for Manchester band Mint Royale's 2003 track Blue Song (below).

In an interview with GQ, the director said: "Initially I was mad at myself. I thought, I've burned this great idea for a movie on this video.

"But then it would be something where I could always point to it and people sort of said, 'Oh, your movie's like Drive or your movie's like Guardian.' I would say, 'Well, let me refer to this video I made in 2003.'"

Always good to leave a digital paper trail.

Okay, you've got 2 min 54 secs guys. Go get them.

A massive outdoor show being headlined by Green Day looks to have been axed just hours before it was due to start.

The US rockers were due to top a bill that included bands like Rancid, Slaves and The Skids at Bellahouston Park.

But a statement on promoter PCL presents' Facebook page, external says: "We are sorry to inform you that due to adverse weather conditions it is no longer safe for the bands to perform on stage and unfortunately today's show will be cancelled.

"Tickets will be refunded from point of purchase within ten working days."

No word from the bands yet but people are not impressed. We'll have more when we get it.

More from the Manchester International Festival now, where six leading composers are being taken out of the comfort of the concert hall and into public spaces in the city to make music for passers-by.

Music for a Busy City sees Matthew Herbet, Mohammed Fairouz, Olga Neuwirth, Philip Venables, Huang Ruo and Anna Meredith provide soundscapes for places around Manchester from shopping centres and train stations, to the town hall.

We can all agree that waiting for/in an elevator is one of the low points of one's day but Anna Meredith is helping to - ahem - lift the mood somewhat with a bit of music.

For her project she's selected a walkway between two department stores which have lifts either side. Her unique soundtrack is called Chorale for Lifts and is directly affected by the lifts movement as they travel up and down.

Elizabeth Alker of 6 Music spoke to Anna to find out more...

Folk singer Lucy Rose popped in to see Lauren Laverne on BBC 6 Music this morning, where she played a few songs from her new album Something's Changing, which is out on Friday.

You can listen to the performances now.

She's releasing the album after a unique DIY tour of South America earlier this year. It came about after the singer spotted her songs were constantly being streamed in places like Paraguay and Ecuador. Inspired, she got in touch with fans on the continent, and put on gigs in their hometowns.

Since the tour ended, she's been playing festivals in the UK, including Glastonbury, where we had a brief chat about her new music and the backstage facilities.

What sort of audience do you get at a festival?

Hopefully I’ll have some people that know my stuff and will sing along with me; and probably there’ll be a few people who haven’t heard me before who’ll just be walking past. That’s the beauty of festivals - you get to play to a crowd bigger than you ever would normally. Hopefully I can win some people over.

Do you worry about breaking out the new material before the album's released?

There’s three songs from the new record that are already out, so I feel less guilty about playing those because people might have heard those ones.

Describe the backstage area for us: Is assume it's a paradise of tranquility with caviar and prosecco on tap?

I wouldn’t say backstage is 100 times better than being a regular punter. It’s pretty similar really. People always talk about the mud at Glastonbury - but if it’s going to be muddy out the front it’ll be muddy backstage too. That’s just the way it is.

Don't you even get a celebrity toilet?

No! That's the one perk I'd die for. Seriously, if I even had one celebrity toilet I’d be going wild. I’m looking at one green portaloo and it’s Sunday afternoon. So you can imagine what’s going through my head right now.

I might just hold it in. I have just come back from India, so I feel like I can do anything now.

Because that is what he seems to be claiming in his new track Hypocrisy.

We can't share it here because the language gets a little bit on the frank side for us but in the track, Skepta says: "Just came back from the Ivors / And look at what we collected / The MBE got rejected / I'm not trying to be accepted."

An MBE, an award within the British Honours System, is handed out for contributions to arts and sciences or who work with charities.

The Cabinet Office, which issues the list, has told Newsbeat that won't comment on his claim..

Skepta won best songwriter and best contemporary song at the Ivor Novellos earlier this year.

...Tonight.

Before that though, this lunchtime, treat yourself to a little break and enjoy this stylish new video to the classic Oasis B-Side.

The track, which was the B-Side to Some Might Say, appeared on the Manchester band's 1998 compilation album The Masterplan, but never got the video treatment.

Not until now, as Brighton-based animator Ste McGregor has created this cool lyric animation below.

Strawberry lemonade eh? Aaaaah.

Enjoy.

'Old punk rocker' and activist Billy Bragg joined Mark Radcliffe to explore the history and legacy of the skiffle genre before performing renditions of the Lead Belly song Midnight Special and his own track I Keep Faith.

Azealia Banks and Iggy Azelea have decided to bury the hatchet - thankfully not in either's back - and will apparently collaborate on a new track.

It come after Azealia posted an email from Iggy, in which she told her she didn’t hate her and they should both “move past trivial beef with strangers.”

“I don’t agree with many of your opinions but honestly, at times I empathize with you," she wrote.

She has also teased Azealia's contribution to her as-yet-unreleased second album.

But speaking to hip hop magazine XXL, Azealia, for her part, was a little more hesitant in accepting the olive branch.

"I think a true reconciliation can happen once there is some acknowledgment of what hip-hop has been trying to tell her.

"I still don’t think she quite understands the effect her racial privilege and the socio-economic leverage that comes with it has on a marginalized group of women’s culture."

Maybe keep the champagne on ice for now...

Well according to reports doing the rounds, yes.

Ed has previous form in this realm and enjoyed a year long break from Twitter and the likes ahead of the release of his latest album ÷.

Now, according to the The Sun, external he's had it up to here with nasty comments from Twitter trolls.

Apparently he said: "I've actually come off Twitter completely. I can't read it.

"I go on it and there's nothing but people saying mean things. Twitter's a platform for that. One comment ruins your day. But that's why I've come off it.

He added he was confused "why people dislike me so much."

Those people seem to be in a minority though as his album is back at number one following his Glasto set.

Also, he did Instagram a boozing session on Sunday... so let's wait and see shall we?

It's Independence Day - so time for a strong American role model we reckon.

How's about pop legend Madonna then?

She has posted a picture of her first ever performance on Instagram, we reckon from sometime in the early 1960s.

The singer who would go on to play Evita and may other roles began, apparently, by playing a Prima Ballerina.

Madge posted the below pic alongside the caption: "My Show Girl Debut!

"Looking fierce in my purple tutu 💜💜💜💜💜💜."

Vogue, strike a pose...

"One of the most anticipated records in a while, in hip hop" arrived on Friday when Jay Z dropped his new cut 4:44.

Those of you with accounts for the rapper's streaming service Tidal will have heard the album already but the rest of us will have to wait until the weekend for Radio 1/1Xtra's album playback.

Both stations will bring the record in full to you from 22:00 GMT on Friday but until then, here's Annie Mac's favourite; Bam, featuring a certain reggae star's son.

Check it out above.

So Muse (scroll down) are headlining Leeds & Reading alongside Kasabian and Eminem. The festivals have been criticized for a relative lack of female performers.

Now, Ellie Goulding has waded into the debate criticising the lack of women performing at music festivals in general.

In a series of tweets, the singer says she doesn't see many females on line-ups and is proud to be a headliner.

She wrote: "Need to give myself credit sometimes as I've been doing this non stop for over seven years. I don't see many females at these festivals."

A BBC study of 14 events across 660 headline appearances suggests music festivals have been dominated by all-male acts for the past 10 years.

Only 37 headline slots involved all-female acts, while 68 were bands of mixed gender.

On Monday's Music News LIVE, we heard from the star of the new film about Smiths frontman Morrissey's formative years and now one of his early friends has taken to social media to attack the film.

James Maker, who befriended the young star before he found fame with the Smiths, wrote on Facebook, external:

"According to the trailer of 'England Is Mine', Morrissey was an autistic, retiring creature with both curly hair and a natural crimp, who had to be physically pushed into becoming a singer by a well-meaning friend​ (one who did not actually communicate with Morrissey throughout The Smiths' success)​."

In the film's defence, Mr Maker's attack seems to be solely based on watching the trailer.

Actor Jack Lowden, who plays Morrissey in the film admits he hasn't heard from the singer yet but that "knowing him, he will hate it".
