Beyonce will be one of the headline acts at Glastonbury 2011.
“This really is the biggest festival in the world and I cannot wait to perform there. Everyone who attends is really appreciative of music and is in such a good mood that entire weekend,” she said in a statement. “I’m pumped just thinking about that huge audience and soaking up their energy.”
Beyonce will perform a 90-minute set on Sunday, June 26 on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury.
The advertising watchdog in Britain has banned the Beyonce perfume advertisement. It can now only be shown after 7.30pm.
The ad features Beyonce not wearing to much, but it doesnt really seem that bad. Check it out below and let us know what you think!

Waves continue their domination of digital music production releasing the first product for their ‘Signature Series’, The Tony Maserati Collection. 
For the amateur producers / engineers that haven’t heard the name, Maserati is the ‘genius’ behind hundreds of hip/hop, RnB, pop chart toppers that include Britney Spears, Beyonce, MJB, David Bowie and Jay-Z. Crap tracks? Maybe. But even the most of ‘anti commerce in music’ must appreaciate the level of quality in mix and production of modern pop music. Maserati is hailed as being the principal archetect of the modern New York pop sound and widely respected as one of the worlds most clinical mixing engineers.
Maserati has worked closely with the guys at Waves Audio to front this collection of plug-ins in an attempt replicate his personal engineering, mixing and production styles.
Maserati says “I’ve been using Waves from the beginning. From dynamics and EQs to special effects, most of the tracks I’ve mixed have Waves on them. Waves did an amazing job turning my personal processing chains into custom plug-ins.”
The Collection includes:
Maserati VX1 Vocal Enhancer
• Maserati B72 Bass Phattener
• Maserati ACG Acoustic Guitar Designer
• Maserati GTi Guitar Toner
• Maserati DRM Drum Slammer
• Maserati HMX Harmonics Generator
Each advertised with high status names, check the waves website for specifics.
Definately worth a look for all kinds of RnB, Hip/hop producers out there and any body else who wants to create a clean, powerful sound.
The Tony Maserati Collection RRPs at around $800 US, but im sure, just like anything else you can torrent the software for free… ooops, did I say that?
