Summer may feel a ways off given the current snowdrift, but today’s news that a June music festival, headlined by Iggy Pop, is in the works will surely heat up fans of the legendary American punk raconteur.

The newly announced Metronome Festival at Výstaviště Praha will take place from June 25-26. The festival is organized by the promoters behind the long-running United Islands Festival, on this year from June 23-26.
