Your music news for this Tuesday:
*U2 are set to release a concert film of their Vertigo Tour, and you might need a pair of 3D glasses to see it properly.
Director Mark Pellington, who handled the band's cross-dressing clip for "One," hopes to make history by staging a 3D performance of the band's movie that can be seen around the world. No release date or title yet, but U2 is said to be aiming for a mid 2007 release.
* QUEEN are returning to the studio to record their first new material in 15 years, according to a post on guitarist Brian May's website. No word on who might take over on vocals though.
* The Q Awards, honoring the best in British rock in the most over the top way imaginable, were held last night, with OASIS and U2 walking away the big winners.
OASIS was voted "Best Band in the World Today," while Noel Gallagher picked up a trophy for the "Classic Songwriting Award." The Edge got the nod for the "Innovation in Sound" award, and U2 won a one-time award for something called "The Band of Bands." Not sure what that means, but when a 10-pound silver statuette is involved, it must be a pretty big deal.
Other winners included:
GNARLS BARKLEY won best single for "Crazy," THE KILLERS were honored for their video for "When You Were Young," PETER GABRIEL snagged a Lifetime Achievement Award, and MUSE were tagged as the Best Live Act.
