They're playing the Pyramid Stage on the Friday night.
U2 last night confirmed what the whole western world already knew, which is that they’re headlining the Friday night at Glastonbury.
Paying tribute to Michael Eavis at the NME Awards in a recorded message, The Edge said: “It’s more a way of life than a festival. I made it last year to the Friday show – got to play with Muse, hang out, get a veggie burger and fries, and got to play on the Pyramid Stage. I have to say there’s something really special about that stage. We’re all looking forward to coming back to pick up where I left off. We’re so excited to get to play in front of the world’s greatest festival audience.”
