U2 Headlining Glastonbury 2010 – Muse, Bowie Rumored

U2 have been confirmed to be headlining Glastonbury 2010. It will be the Irish band’s first appearance at the long-running festival. Although they’ve been rumored to appear multiple times through the years they’ve never actually made the final bill. Muse, David Bowie, Coldplay, and The Rolling Stones are rumored to be joining them on the bill.

Speaking on the event’s official website, Glastonburyfestivals.co.uk, organizer Michael Eavis said:

“I promised the best possible line-up for the show next year and the confirmation that U2 will play their first ever Glastonbury – and their first major festival gig since the early 1980s – is fantastic news.”

“We’ve been trying for years… And now we’ve finally made it happen. I’m sure they will pull out all the stops to make next year’s Glastonbury the most memorable ever.”

I’m afraid U2 aren’t the big draw they once were, and it feels to me as though Glastonbury have missed the boat by a decade or two. However, though their last album may have been a disappointment, they still have millions of fans worldwide thanks to the body of work. So, as long as they play the classics it should be a great set.
