Robyn and Kelis are due to touch down in New York in August, and tickets go on sale Friday at noon. Robyn, well, we’ve talked about her before. A few times. As for Kelis, she’s miles away from milkshakes—her new, more electronic album comes complete with a futuristic look (check out her video for “A Capella” after the jump, as well as Robyn’s new video for “Dancing on My Own”). It seems she has realized that in pop circles, performance art is the newest fad. In other music news, don’t miss Yeasayer this Saturday for free at the beach on Governor’s Island. Did we mention it was free?

We were busy bees on Tuesday night. Not only did we take in Patricia Field’s Barbie dreamland fashion show, but we also managed to make an appearance at Mulberry’s celebration for the new book Glastonbury-Another Stage by Venetia Dearden. Dearden’s book provided the backdrop of rainbow-colored photos of concert-goers at the famously muddy festival and the influence for a tipi and bales of straw dyed the color of Easter eggs. Mulberry provided the guests: Agyness Dean, Chanel Iman, Michelle Trachtenberg, Olivia Palermo and Leigh Lezark, among others (photos, of the book as well as the party, after the jump). Chairlift, Kelis and Manos de Dios provided the tunes. Milk Studios provided the view. It was a group effort.
