One of them wrote a famous earth remover song

Yep  ... I’ll give a clue on the other one in a bit ... once I’ve remembered

It was scouting for girls I was initially thinking of ... but since googling as I forgot .. I discovered 💦 boys .... and as you came up with 2 answers it’s your turn ... I think @parsonjack has had a go already maybe ?

I wondered whether you were going to allow "Glastonbury Song"

Perhaps my wording was a little out ... in my defence I took it from another online quiz

I am so excited to stand on the shoulders of all the giants of Glastonbury quizzery who have come before me. Here’s hoping I I don’t f*** it up!  
In 2009 one chart-topping act officially played all three days of the festival. Which act and where on each day?

V V Brown played 3 days... was she chart-topping?

No - I’ve looked it up and her highest chart position was 13 in France.

Billy Bragg, Leftfield?

That’s a good answer. I’m not sure how many days FBS played, but at least one set was not officially on the programme. I think he played a secret set at Trash City.

Nope 

[anditmakesmesmile]

Ok - here is a clue. I deliberately said act as I thought people might come up with both Billy Bragg and Fatboy Slim. But as they’ve now both been guessed, I can reveal that it was, in fact, a band!

Elbow?

Nope.

another clue coming soon. 

[anditmakesmesmile]

Ok - here’s a clue. Not only did they play every day but it was also the first time they’d ever played Glastonbury. And, I think (and I might be wrong about this) it was the first time any of them had actually been to Glastonbury. You could tell they were having the time of their lives.  They were everywhere. I kept spotting them at different times over the weekend. It was really endearing. 

[MrHew]

Noah and the Whale? I'm sure they played at least twice that year (although mid-late 2000s all blend together a bit).
