Private Notes
Last year's Rated R saw Rihanna come back with a new, edgier image, tracks like Hard and Russian Roulette rocking cold synths and dancehall beats. She's back in the UK with her Last Girl On Earth tour, and today Bangor gets a glimpse of the girl giving R&B an angry, electronic makeover.
Watch out for these Western Australian drum'n'bass mentalists. Last year they got one of the best crowd reactions of the event and left the In New Music We Trust Stage in pieces. This year, they bring their firepower to the main stage - you'd be a fool to miss it.
Vampire Weekend have crossed the Atlantic to bring Wales a taste of their indie rock sound. Two years ago the New Yorkers were part of the INMWT lineup, this year they are headliners. Records like Cousins and Horchata from second album Contra have been all over the airwaves, and now you can hear them in person.
If you’ve never seen Canadian digi-pop-ravers Crystal Castles live, then brace yourself for an adrenaline rush. Radio 1 have got in there early in 2010 to bring you a live taster of their massively anticipated new album. Make sure you’re amongst the first to hear their 8-bit anarchy, bit-crushed chaos and - yes - proper big tunes, taken to a whole new level!
