It's still more than a month until the 2010 Glastonbury Festival, but that hasn't stopped organiser Michael Eavis whetting our appetites for the 2011 edition of the bash. According to the farmer and outdoor music guru, Glasto veterans Coldplay will return to Worthy Farm, presumably as headliners (unless their career takes a serious nosedive in the next 13 months).''They've played four or five times already but they'll be back next year, I'm sure,'' Eavis told BBC 6 Music. The 74-year-old was speaking to presenter and former Kenickie frontwoman Lauren Laverne from his Pilton, Somerset land, which has hosted the weekender most years since 1970.
Chris Martin's group last played Glastonbury in 2005. They made their first appearance at the bash back in 1999. The 2010 version of Glasto will kick off on Friday June 25th, with headline sets coming from Muse, U2 and Stevie Wonder. Other Pyramid Stage performers will include Vampire Weekend, Faithless, the Dead Weather and former Kinks frontman Ray Davies. The latest additions to the main arena bill is Australian TV host, artist, musician and festival regular Rolf Harris, who will play on Friday afternoon.
