Gorillaz replace U2 at Glastonbury

Gorillaz will make their only Uk festival appearence on June 25th due to U2 pulling out of the festival as Bono underwent back surgery last Friday.

"This is going to be Gorillaz' only U.K. festival appearance, and it will be a massive audio-visual spectacle which will really ignite the Pyramid on the Friday night, with Muse and then Stevie Wonder to follow," said festival organizer Michael Eavis.

"I'm very excited about Gorillaz' show coming here because they're so open to guests and collaborations. The alchemy of Friday's show is going to be astonishing: a perfect, contemporary way to kick off the 40th anniversary celebrations. I am so grateful for the enthusiasm of the media and the whole of the music industry for their willingness and eagerness to support us in what could have been a crisis."
