plus RHCP turned down
Tue 23rd Jan 07
Glastonbury Festival Glastonbury Festival 2007 According to an article in the latest issue of Music Week, Bjork is to headline Glastonbury Festival's Other Stage on the Friday night.
Other information revealed by Martin Elbourne (the man who books the bands for Glastonbury's Pyramid, Other, and John Peel stages) is that the Arctic Monkey's are confirmed, and that Glastonbury turned down an approach from the Red Hot Chili Peppers even though they offered to perform for free.
Based on a recent conversation eFestivals had with Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis, this decision isn't likely to be a snub to RHCP, but simply an issue of being unable to schedule such a big band into the line-up when all the top slots had already been filled. Michael Eavis has previously revealed that Justin Timberlake had to be turned away for this reason.
As we get them, eFestivals will bring you the very best Glastonbury rumours. Help us to help you - if you hear of a band that's playing, please let us know.
Glastonbury Festival will take place at Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset from Friday 22nd to Sunday 24th June (with the gates opening on the Wednesday).
