2012 Olympics opening ceremony

[Andrew Robinson]

Just had official confirmation of something that's been rumoured for a
while... my favourite band Underworld have been appointed as musical
directors of the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony. It's been known
for a while that film director Danny Boyle (who they have been working
with since Trainspotting) is doing the visual side of it, and this
plus a few hints that the bad were doing something unimaginably huge
led a lot of fans to put two and two together, but it's now official.

They've put on some pretty amazing live shows in the past, and now
they get to do one with an £80m budget and an audience of about 4
billion!
