Arctic Monkeys 'Confirmed' to Headline Glastonbury |
|
Arctic Monkeys have been confirmed alongside Bjork as headliners for the 2007 Glastonbury festival, according to co-organiser Emily Eavis:
She said:
"We're absolutely thrilled to be able to put Bjork and the Arctic Monkeys on because both are firm favourites in our household.
"The Arctic Monkeys have never done it so this will be their first year and Bjork has done the festival a few times now and is absolutely fantastic."
Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders has already responded to comments made by Michael Eavis earlier in the week:
"Er, if Michael Eavis said it, well we must be (true) then," he observed. "I can't really confirm anything. Nothing gets announced until March, and though stuff leaks out they can always change it!"
