Set in Islington's spine-tingling Union Chapel, this year's line-up includes Mika, The Editors and Florence ‘the lungs’ Welch and her Machine, who will all impart a little acoustic magic for the lucky few (make that 700) who perch in the candlelit rows. Curated by BBC Radio One’s Jo Whiley, each night features one main headline act (previous years have seen Keane, Snow Patrol and Amy Winehouse grace the stage plus a surprise walk-on from The Killers) and three equally huge "supports" – Lily Allen and U2 amongst that list. And, as a testament to the cliché that good things comes in small packages, this acoustically-blessed yet modestly-sized venue is to be once more bombarded with the biggest bands on the planet. Hold onto your pew–rumor has it that a number of leading artists intend to make a surprise appearance, so we suggest you bag a ticket and grab yourself the (second) best seat in the house. If ever there was a time to envy God, this is it. Tickets go on sale October 19, but priority sales are available to those who register /system/photos/0053/1137/Jo-Whiley-Little-Noise-Sessions_thumb.jpg 2009-10-14T11:38:08+02:00 531137 Courtesy of Mencap.org /system/photos/0053/1137/Jo-Whiley-Little-Noise-Sessions.jpg
