Gorillaz offered Glastonbury headline slot
Damon Albarn’s band, Gorillaz, have been offered the headline slot at Glastonbury after U2 pulled out following an injury to lead singer Bono with emergency surgery taking place on Friday. Damon headlined Glastonbury last year with Blur and is said to be very surprised and also nervous following being offered the slot. The headline slot is Gorillaz only UK festival appearance this year and Damon believes the band will perform well and can step up to the mark even at short notice. Damon also stated that he cannot compare the Gorillaz performance to last year’s performance with Blur as they are two completely separate bands. The headline act will be at the start of the festival this year rather than at the end which has pleased Damon as he wishes to experience the some of the festival as a punter which he was unable to do last year.
