Nico Tribute Concert

Musician, and all round greatest living Welshman - sorry Tom Jones - John Cale is curating and headlining a tribute to Bavarian ice maiden Nico at the Royal Festival Hall. Described as "an iconoclastic tribute" to his Velvet Underground colleague and alleged sometime lover.

Cale - who also produced Nico during her solo career - has arranged the night called 'Life Along The Borderline' as "a very special line-up of artists to re-imagine her life, work and songs in this one-off event."

Artists scheduled for the October 11 event - that's Saturday by the way - include Manic Street Preacher's James Dean Bradfield, Sparklehorse's Mark Linkous and Mark Lanegan. Overleaf for the full line up and how to get your ass there. Perhaps a song too.

More information about the show and to buy tickets, see the venue website here.

The full confirmed line-up is:

John Cale
Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse)
Fiery Furnaces
Peter Murphy (Bauhaus)
Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance)
Mark Lanegan
James Dean Bradfield (Manic Street Preachers)
Liz Green
Nick Franglen (Lemon Jelly, Blacksand)
