Last night saw the final night of the Glastonbury Emerging Talent competition Finals held in Pilton and at the end festival organiser Michael Eavis announced the overall winner was live electronica trio We Have Band who will be rewarded with a main stage appearance at this year's festival.
The decision was unanimous from the judges, who included Michael and Emily Eavis from the Festival, Huw Stephens from BBC Radio One and music journalists from the Q stable.
"The whole weekend went really, really well," said Emily Eavis. "It was a particularly high standard this year and I'm really pleased that all 12 of the finalists will be playing at the Festival."
Glastonbury Festival has been running the competition to find the greatest Emerging Talent for the last four Festivals. Previous competitions have brought bands like Golden Silvers, The Subways, and Scouting For Girls to Festival prominence.
This year's competition entrants were all musicians not signed to a major label, based in the UK and Ireland. All twelve of the finalists will be performing at the Queen's Head venue at the festival on Thursday 25th June.
eFestivals will have reviews and pictures of all the competing acts online shortly.
Although the full line-up for this year's Festival has not yet been announced, To see who has been confirmed, and who might be playing take a look at the eFestivals' Glastonbury 2009 rumours >>.
