Following on from Razorlight, Kanye West and The Killers and a tonne of other A-list stars, Vodafone have announced the lineup for their August “TBA” secret gig.

N.E.R.D., The Streets and McFly will all play Brighton Beach on Sunday 10th August.

The rather mixed lineup will follow in the footsteps of Razorlight who played Brighton Beach in summer 2006.

Tickets are available only to Vodafone customers by texting ACTS to 61500. Winners will receive tickets for themselves and two friends and those not lucky enough to attend will be able to watch the gig on T4, hosted by the insufferable Dave Berry.

Vodafone have made the decision this year to move away from the one-artist regular gigs that they’ve had in previous years, instead choosing to make a “mini festival”. Whether this works out we’ll soon see!

Okay, I’ll admit it – I didn’t know about Beach House until Drowned in Sound bought them to my attention, but they sound pretty amazing. That, or remarkably shite. I can’t decide.

Nonetheless, they’re on tour in mid November, so pop along and give them a go. They’re signed to Bella Union Records, who are a pretty good record label, so give them a whirl at the following dates. The London date is on sale through Ticketmaster, and the others, well, I’m guessing the local venues.

Saturday 10th November – Cambridge Graduate
Sunday 11th November – Leeds Faversham
Monday 12th November – Manchester Night & Day
Tuesday 13th November – Glasgow The Admiral
Thursday 15th November – Birmingham Glee Club
Friday 16th November – London Water Rats
