Michael Eavis is interviewed in this month's Q Magazine. In the interview he confirms that Elbow will be playing at the festival again next year.

Can't. Wait.

Excellent! Now if only I could persuade MMT to go to Glasto.

YESSSSSSSSSSS Very Happy

That is amazing news, never expected them to come back again next year, it was the first time I'd seen or even heard them at this year's glastonbury and it was fantastic, there isn't really a more perfect band for a festival like glastonbury, its going to be amazing once again Smile

This is great news.

They were, as you're probably aware, brilliant.

Surely the Pyramid beckons this time? Same time slot hopefully.

What others years did the boys head down to Worthy Farm?
'04,'07,'09

Any others?

Cheers
Dave F.

I thought they played the Pyramid when they played there in '04?

and they played Glastonbury in 2002 of course, anyone who has the COTH album would know that.

No doubt they will be a much later timeslot now, guaranteed prime Glastonbury TV.

i liked the early time slot last year, mostly because there was sunshine and loveliness

My understanding is now that the band won't be playing this year.

The first line up announcement will be made very soon. Headliners will almost certainly be Blur, Springsteen and Neil Young.

Hope they are on just as the sun (hopefully!) goes down , that's the perfect timeslot in my opinion.

oh and on the Pyramid stage this time, there'll be loads more people will want to see them this year.

What if they'll try and top last years strings- filled extravaganza? How much does it cost to hire a whole orchestra for one night, I wonder??? lol!

yeah that would be pretty damn awesome, elbow + sunset + whole orchestra + beer = brilliant glasto.

i think they will play actually, i mean the gig last year drew a big crowd and since the mercury i think there will be even more people around to see them, and i hear michael evis say it would be a more traditional glasto this year so Elbow would be a good booking.

Probably right, Eavis said they would but a few weeks later, efestivals came out that they weren't going to be there, so who knows whether they'll be there or not.

eFestivals' forum is a-buzz with rumours that elbow are in discussions to headline next year's festival. What a way to end the weekend that'll be!
