-The Foo Fighters mark their return to Europe this summer with the first stop official confirmed at NOS Alive in Portugal. Hopefully, Dave Grohl can keep himself from sitting on the Iron Throne this time around.

Now that the rumors of a hiatus are firmly behind them, the Isle of Wight Festival has announced that their first headliner will be Arcade Fire. This will mark the only UK festival appearance of 2017 for Win Butler and friends.

-Green Day continues to expand their dates in Europe with a stop in The Netherlands at PinkPop. Billie Joe smash!

-Everyone’s favorite Swedish melodic death metal band and Tolkien afficiadonios, Amon Amarth, will be punishing your ears at Bloodstock this August. Or on Highday in Wedmath if you’re using the Shire Calendar, which we do.

-On the other end of the musical sprectum (but no less ear damaging), Major Lazer will be reporting for duty at France’s Main Square Festival. They’ll be joined by Radiohead and System of a Down.
