Arctic Monkeys confirm tonight's Glastonbury set after Dublin cancellation

Arctic Monkey's frontman Alex Turner has recovered from a bout of laryngitis and will perform for tonight's Glastonbury festival, as planned.

The Sheffield rock band cancelled a show at Dublin's Marlay Park on June 20, citing Turner's recent health issues. At their final show at London's Emirates stadium, Turner's voice appeared to fade as the evening progressed. The band released a statement saying they were "extremely sorry" to disappoint Irish fans, and all tickets would be refunded through Ticketmaster.

Please find statement from Arctic Monkeys.
