Radiohead to play Glastonbury

Emily Eavis says that the band will play at Worthy Farm

Glastonbury festival organiser Emily Eavis has revealed that Radiohead will play at the festival within the next few years.

Speaking to Orange World, Eavis talked of her and her father, Michael Eavis’ love for the band, and assured fans that Thom Yorke and co would be gracing a stage at the festival soon.

“They will be back, but this year wasn’t right for them,” she explained. “That’s why we have done something different with the headliners. We love Radiohead.”

This year's festival which takes place between June 27 and 29 will feature Kings Of Leon, Jay-Z and The Verve as headliners.

Who cares? They make brilliant music and as a live proposition they are amazing but talk about lazy. They take ages to make an album. Then they make a right fuss about it when they release it. They will do about three dates in the UK and will probably disappear off again complaining that they have ruined the planet in the process. Meanwhile everyone is hanging off of their every word because of one album they made 10 years ago.

They need to get over themselves and just start playing their music to the people who have paid their hard earned money to put them in their priviledged position.

Why do you word your headlines so ambiguously? I was actually really excited then.

I have to admit when I saw the headline, I thought, "Now I'm definitely going to Glastonbury this year!" Psyche.
