GLASTONBURY SNUB FOR U2
GLASTONBURY organiser MICHAEL EAVIS has snubbed U2 in favour of new bands for GLASTONBURY 2007.
Speaking this morning (June 26) at the event, Eavis revealed that he won’t be making any effort to book U2 when the festival returns in two years time, and instead is looking to many of the bands who starred on this year's NME Awards tour.
”I'm not doing the U2 thing again,” he said. “They’ve got to phone me now, I can tell you that.”
He added: “A lot of these new bands are creeping up fast. The best bands of this year have been Kaiser Chiefs, Razorlight, Bloc Party and there are so many of them out there who are racing up the scale. One of those are going to be headlining eventually. There’s plenty of new stuff to choose from. If U2 give me a ring I’d be delighted – but I’m not going to ring them anymore.”
