Gorillaz to replace U2 at Glastonbury - ticket holders rejoice

Gorillaz have been revealed as the new Friday night Glasto headliners after U2 pulled out of the festival yesterday. Damon Albarn's cartoon hip hop/pop band are likely to be a popular replacement for the Irish rockers and will bring with them a host of collaborators including Mos Def, Snoop Dogg and Shaun Ryder. "This is going to be Gorilllaz' only UK festival appearance, and it'll be a massive audio visual spectacle which will really ignite the Pyramid on the Friday night, with Muse, then Stevie Wonder to follow," said Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis. Murdoc from Gorillaz added: "We're like some great big horrible warship pulling in to the Bay of Glastonbury to save the day. It was us or The Beatles and they split up years ago. "The previous soldiers got pulled from duty last minute so it's up to my Plastic Beach naval cavalry to sail in and sort the battlefield out. I can assure you though, I'm bringing extra troops. Loads of them. Glastonbury will be ours...cutlasses drawn, trumpets ready. We're coming in..." Buy Gorillaz Tickets & Sell Gorillaz Tickets through YourTicketMarket.com.
