NEWS DIGEST: Wednesday, March 19

R.E.M are set to play a tiny gig at the Apple Store in London next Wednesday (March 26). The band's new album, Accelerate, will follow the performance on March 31. The show is not open to the public and will be attended by 450 fan club members and competition winners. Be sure to pick up the current issue of MOJO for our full review of the new record!

Chris Martin has confirmed that Coldplay's fourth album will be called Viva La Vida. The name is taken from a painting by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and not, as Martin is already keen to point out, the simliarly titled Ricky Martin song.

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds will release their new single More News From Nowhere on May 12. The band will tour the UK in support of their new album DIG! LAZURUS! DIG!.

They play:

Dublin Castle (May 3)
Glasgow Academy (4)
Birmingham Academy (5)
London Hammersmith Apollo (7)
London Hammersmith Apollo (8)
London Hammersmith Apollo (9)

And finally...Happy Birthday Terry Hall! Here he is with The Specials on The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1979.
