The Governors Ball lineup was released earlier this week and it once again has the Strokes headlining one of the three evenings. Amazingly enough, this will mark the third time they’ve played the New York City festival in just five years. It’s all the more incredible when you consider that the Strokes have played a mere 20 shows since the conclusion of their 2011 tour and haven’t stepped on a stage together anywhere in nearly two years.
It wasn’t always like this. Back in 2001, the Strokes played well...

It's been seven days since the latest series of The Voice UK came to an end - and this year's winner Stevie McCrorie has just had the most intense and insane week of his life.
When Digital Spy caught up with Stevie on the afternoon of Friday, April 10, he'd just been mobbed by fans after a performance in Glasgow city - and the star admits he never could have predicted such a passionate reaction...
"No way, man - it's funny you say that, because I was actually thinking that at the time. 'I can't believe that this is happening' - I mean, you win these shows and people do well off it, but it's like people have genuinely got a hunger to see me, and hear my music, and that's just such a great start for me."
Your winner's single, 'Lost Stars', is on course to go to no.

Stereophonics singer Kelly Jones has admitted he nearly had a coaching role on The Voice.
The rock star's chair eventually went to Danny O'Donoghue from The Script after Jones changed his mind.
Jones told MTV: "I had a couple of chats with some people and once they asked me back for the third chat I realised they were serious and I bottled it."
He added that he didn't want his time to be eaten away by the show, saying: "It took between January and June of your year away and I don't think I'd be that comfortable judging other people."
Jones also added that although he turned down The Voice, he and the rest of the band are fans of the format, saying: "We're happy as being a band, I mean we watch it on a Saturday night for a laugh but it's not what I really want to do.

You might think that with T In The Park and Glastonbury out of the way, and the Rolling Stones put back on ice for a while that the festival season is just about over, but you’d be completely wrong. And while the sun has still just about got his hat on, there is plenty of musical goodness still to come in 2013, starting in just a short couple of weeks, thanks to the essential festivals that are still yet to come.
So, if you’re considering taking advantage of the atypically good weather, or you just want to fill your ears with some Biffy Clyro, Elton John, Beyonce or Kings Of Leon, there are ample opportunities for festival veterans and newbies alike to pack their babywipes and wellies and head off to a festival that could be the best experience of the year.

The Voice UK series two may only just have ended but here at Digital Spy we're already looking ahead to more big, red spinning chairs in 2014.
After two years of Jessie J gurning, Sir Tom Jones growling and name-dropping, Danny O'Donoghue standing on his chair and will.i.am being dope, it's highly likely that we will see some new faces in next year's coaching lineup.
So who would you like to see swinging around in the Blind Auditions next year?
Will Young was originally lined up for the first series, but was ditched at the last minute for Danny O'Donoghue. Does the Pop Idol champ deserve a second chance?
Adam Levine and Blake Shelton have helped turn the Us version of The Voice into a monster hit. If the BBC could borrow them both for a year, it would be a massive coup.
Cheryl Cole and Tulisa might fancy...
