Pendulum saw their sales rocket by over 900% following their televised sunset performance.

According to Amazon, the bands sales were up by 909%, the sharpest rise for any artsist performing at Glastonbury this weekend.

Other big winners included Franz Ferdinand (470%), Passion Pit (341%), Bloc Party (295%) and Status Quo (788%).

Julian Monaghan, Head of Music Buying at Amazon.co.uk said “With vast amounts of TV, radio and press coverage, a big performance can generate huge rises in sales for the artists concerned – and this year is no different. Pendulum seem to have been growing in popularity over the past year, and this performance could mark the moment they become a truly mainstream act."

To rewatch the performance check the BBC iPlayer.

The Mail on Sunday is certainly not our normal weekend reading but there was an article which caught our eye. Written by James Palumbo, head honcho of Ministry of Sound, in it he recalls how he personally cleaned up the drug dealing in his club.

In a self written article, Palumbo recalls "The police had supplied us with a panic alarm and we were told armed units would respond within minutes at the first sign of trouble. The biggest threat was a drive-by shooting. This might not even involve one of the old door team but some hothead they put up to it. I don't mind admitting I was terrified as I warily eyed passing cars."

Above and Beyond have put their faces to the Royal National Institue for the Deaf's 'Don't Lose The Music' campaign.

With festival season in full swing, the RNID have asked us to remind you lot that festival's sound levels can exceed 110dB – the equivalent of an aircraft taking off. Don’t Lose the Music warns that listening to music too loud for too long can cause permanent damage to your ears, resulting in problems such as tinnitus and hearing loss. If music fans want to experience many more festivals they should remember earplugs.

Don’t Lose the Music teams will be at Glade, Womad, Cambridge Folk Festival, Summer Sundae, Green Man Festival, V festivals and Creamfields.

Creamfields have given us their arena breakdown so you can see just who is playing where and when.

Along with that info found here we've been sent this video of what happened in last year's Swedish house Mafia tent. And very exciting it looks too.

As well as Creamfields, the Swedes will be playing Brixton Academy on November 7. Tickets are already on sale.
