Ringo Starr is to reveal a collection of previously unseen Beatles photographs in a new book due out next month. Photograph will be released as an e-book on Apple's iBookstore on June 12 and will coincide with Ringo: Peace & Love, a Grammy Museum exhibit on Starr.

Elvis Costello is to release a new album in September. The album, a collaboration with The Roots, will be called Wise Up Ghost and will be released on September 16 on Blue Note Records. We first reported on the album back in February, as a possible Record Store Day release.

James Murphy has said he thinks the new Arcade Fire album will be "really great". Murphy, who has helped to produce a number of tracks on the forthcoming album, told Rolling Stone: "I think it's going to be a really great record, actually. I'm eager to see it come out." The Canadian band joined Murphy at the DFA studio earlier this year to work on new material. "There's a lot of them, and they're mostly self-produced – like, they don't need a producer in a certain way. So I didn't know how it would go," he said.

Patti Smith has been added to the line-up for this year's Green Man Festival.

Smith's appearance, the only UK festival she will be performing at this Summer, will see her join a bill that includes Jon Langford, Matt Berry and Manchester band Money.
