Elbow confirmed for Glastonbury Festival

Glastonbury Festival organisers have confirmed that Elbow will be appearing at this year's Glastonbury Festival.

Guy Garvey's Elbow have been rumoured to appear for a few weeks now, and today organisers confirmed them by adding their name to the list of acts on the line-up page. Talking to BBC 6Music yesterday the singer self confirmed that they would be appearing before headliners U2 on the Pyramid Stage on Friday, although this has not yet been confirmed by Festival organisers, although Emily Eavis tweeted, "We're delighted that the mighty Elbow have confirmed."

Tickets have sold out for this summer's Glastonbury Festival which runs for five full days from Wednesday 22nd until Sunday 26th June 2011 across a 1000 hectares (2470 acres) of beautiful countryside at Worthy Farm, Somerset. Resales of unwanted tickets are expected at some point in mid-April.

Acts confirmed for the Festival include U2, Coldplay, and Beyonce as Pyramid Stage headliners, plus Primal Scream, Mumford & Sons, Anna Calvi, BB King, Big Boi, The Chemical Brothers, Crystal Castles, Friendly Fires, Fleet Foxes, Gruff Rhys, James Blake, Janelle Monae, Laura Marling, and Warpaint. No other acts are confirmed yet for the Festival, although as usual eFestivals will bring you the very best-sourced rumours, allowing festival-goers to see who is playing long before the bands are formally announced - keep your eyes on the Glastonbury 2011 rumours, updated as we receive information.
