Incubus Reveal, If Not Now, When? Album Art... But

Incubus revealed the album art for their upcoming album, If Not Now, When? on Tuesday (May 17th) but with a twist. The art is broken up into a puzzle, forcing you to view certain sites to get an access code so the puzzle pieces can be unlocked.
I think this is a real creative approach to keep fans curious and entertained, not completely original but still a great idea, first time I've seen a band do this. After all the puzzle pieces have been unlocked... boom here it is.

If you're familiar with Incubus, you'll know that Brandon Boyd (Incubus lead singer) usually designs the cover art for their albums, so I'm curious to know where "Man On Wire" came from. Maybe from Philippe Petit's high wire stunt in 1974, when he walked across the former Twin Towers? Non the less this highly anticipated new album will be released July 12th and will be the follow up from their 2006 release, Light Grenades.

This is one of the most anticipated albums of the year and I can assure you it will blow your mind. Follow the guys on Twitter for more updates and their new website should launch soon as well.

Coldplay To Perform In South Africa

After 10 years of knocking on the door, one of the greatest bands in the world finally decided to visit sunny South Africa. Coldplay will play 2 shows in October of this year, joining Kings Of Leon (also performing in October) for one great month of music in South Africa. Tickets go on sale May 12th at 9am, so I suggest you camp out and grab yourself some golden circle tickets because they WILL sell out.
