Gorillaz booked to replace U2 at Glastonbury

Earlier today there were hints that a British act was set to replace U2, and today festival organizer Michael Eavis confirmed that Gorillaz have been booked for the slot.

It is the second year in a row that Damon Albarn will headline the festival, after a memorable festival closing performance by Blur last year. It will be Gorillaz' only British festival appearance and it has been promised to be an audio-visual spectacular .
