Welcome to the Week in Rock, where we round up all of the headlines posted on this site over the past week. This week featured news about Kate Bush, Daniel Ash, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, Robyn Hitchcock and Steve Kilbey, The Sound, New Order, R.E.M., The Stooges’ Scott Asheton and more.

The Jesus and Mary Chain — who performed live just a handful of times last year — have been confirmed for their first show of 2014 as organizers of the Cultura Ingelsa Festival in Sao Paolo, Brazil, announced this week that the brothers Reid will close out the the 18th annual music fest on May 25.

Depeche Mode marked the anniversary this week of the release of its massive Violator album with a new Archives Special devoted to the band’s infamous record-signing session at The Wherehouse record store in Los Angeles on March 20, 1990 — an event that drew 10,000 fans.

The full U.S. and U.K. releases lists for Record Store Day are due to be released today, but bands and labels continue to offer sneak peaks of what’s coming, the latest of which is this morning’s announcement that Joy Division’s 1978 debut EP An Ideal for Living will be reissued on vinyl.
