Radiohead to play Glastonbury Festival this June?

Lead singer of Fun Lovin Criminals speculates on his radio show about possible Glastonbury Festival appearances.

BBC 6Music DJ Huey Morgan, frontman with the Fun Lovin Criminals, has speculated whether Radiohead will be playing Glastonbury Festival 2011.

The singer confirmed he will be playing Glastonbury and revealed that in a private conversation with Radiohead drummer Phil Selway he also confirmed he’ll be at Glastonbury Festival this June.

Huey said;

“We had Phil Selway, on the show a couple of weeks back, and he was saying he might see me at Glastonbury because I’m gonna be playing, and if he’s going to be there he might be playing. I don’t know, because he’s got a family and what not, he might not want to bring his whole family there, so they might be playing, who knows?”

The Libertines Set To Play Glastonbury 2011?

Since Pete Doherty and Carl Barat made peace, the two have been gigging on a regular basis. Their performance at last years Leeds and Reading Festivals went down well with both the crowd and reviewers.

A source told The Sun: ‘Although there are no signs of new songs, the boys have realised that they can take a nice payday by playing each summer.

‘They bagged more than £1 million for Reading and Leeds in 2010 and, although they won’t get as much for Glasto, it will still be a good earner.’

At the start of the month, Pete blogged that offers for gigs have been coming in, with regard to The Libertines. But he didn’t state the details of dates and locations.

Beyonce Set To Headline Glastonbury 2011 Sunday

Sultry pop queen Beyonce Knowles is set to headline this years Glastonbury Festival.

She will take the Pyramid stage on Sunday night to bring the festival to an end.

A source has revealed, “After all the furore over Jay-Z playing Glasto last year, it went off brilliantly and he had a wonderful time. Beyoncé was, of course, in the wings soaking up the atmosphere and told everyone how happy she was at Worthy Farm. Getting her to perform in her own right seems the ideal next step.”

All the single ladies, bring it!

When Do Glastonbury 2011 Tickets Go On Sale Again?

Lots of people keep asking when the Glastonbury 2011 Tickets will be on sale again.

As we all know, each year a fair few people dont commit to their deposit for one reason or another. Which, in turn give a second chance to those who were not so lucky first time round.

Given that the initial sale was a complete shambles (SHAME ON YOU SEETICKETS), there will be thousands of people desperate for a second chance to grab a golden ticket. It’s like something out of willy wonka.

The fact of the matter is that currently, there is no official date set for the resale of Glastonbury 2011 Tickets, however it will certainly be sometime in April.

As soon as we have an official date, we will let you guys know.

The Coral Confirmed For Glastonbury 2011

The Coral are set to play Glastonbury next year.

Keyboard player Nick Power told Yorkshire Radio’s Darren Harper that they were “confirmed” for the June event.

After the Merseyside band spilt the news on the radio, they later confirmed the news on their official site.

Any fans of The Coral will be happy to know that there will be a second chance to get hold of Glastonbury tickets later this month.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Coldplay Set To Headline Glastonbury 2011 – Thousands Cancel Tickets

Coldplay are set to headline this years Glastonbury Festival. It was first announced in The Sun.

However this news has not gone down well with some of this years patrons. The official Glastonbury website today collapsed under pressure because too many people were trying to cancel their tickets.

This is a bit of a PR disaster for young Emily, who has taken over running the festival from her father.

Today it was not possible to get through to SeeTickets either, this too was because of the large number of people cancelling their tickets.

Good news if you didn’t manage to get 1 first time round.
