Faithless

British band Faithless announced they will be playing Glastonbury Festival this year while on stage at the o2 in Leeds last night

The band last played in 2002 and I have been hoping they would play again since I started going, personally I can’t wait, but I know it’s gonna clash with something I really want to see

A tweet on The Chemical Brothers Twitter Account possibly hints at a Glastonbury Festival 2010 performance

Chemical Brothers Glasto Hint

The Stranglers

The Stanglers have confirmed on their website that they will be playing Glastonbury Festival 2010

A note on their homepage reads as follows

And they said it would never happen!

The Stranglers are playing at Glastonbury. Despite many years of rumours about feuds between the band and organisers, we can confirm they will be appearing at Britain’s best known festival in Pilton on Friday 25th June.

Unfortunately, the festival is already totally sold out but the band is following a Glastonbury tradition and will be playing a low-key warm up in the West country area the night before their appearance.

Details of the low-key gig must remain under wraps for the time being but we will announce the details through the site as soon as we are able. This gig is happening to reward any disappointed fans in the area (and beyond) who are unable to get into Glastonbury.

We’ll bring you the ticket link as soon as we have it. We also hope that for those of us unable to attend the festival, the BBC treats us to some great live footage of the band over the course of the weekend.

Muse

Finally we have proper confirmation that Muse will be playing Glastonbury Festival 2010

The band have added the date (June 26th) to both their website tour dates and their myspace tour dates

Also, over the weekend, a BBC journalist has tweeted that he has spoken to Stevie Wonder’s Manager who also confirmed his appearance at the festival.

Spoke to Muse last night too who confirmed Glastonbury. Stevie Wonder’s manager did the same.

Jack Johnson

Jack Johnson confirmed on his website today that he wil be playing Glastonbury Festival as part of his 2010 tour.

This has also been confirmed by The Festival organisers via the festival website

Jack confirmed in his dates that he will be playing the Sunday, but no stage or time has been given.

Hot Chip

Alexis Taylor, Lead singer from Hot Chip, dropped some big hints that they will be playing Glastonbury Festival this year.

Speaking to Radio 1’s Newsbeat, the artist said that:

“You’ll potentially see us in the Somerset area of the UK around the end of June I’d imagine.

I have been to that part of the world and enjoyed being there. Nice cider there, good music and good atmosphere.”

Vampire Weekend

Vampire Weekend are more than likely to be appearing at Glastonbury Festival 2010.

Today, the band appeared on Lauren Laverne’s 6 Music show and were asked if they would play the 40th Anniversary bash, to which they replied

“Sure, yes. Call us Emily. Come on!”

Emily Eavis herself then posted a message back on Twitter saying

“Yes, Friday 25th?!”

So, expect to see Vampire Weekend on the Pyramid Stage at some point on the Friday of the festival I would expect.

Dub Pistols

Dub Pistols have confirmed on their facebook page that they will be playing Glastonbury Festival

See here to see their small announcement

Muse

Muse have announced tour dates for 2010 and they include a Glastonbury Festival appearance

Taken from the Consequence of Sound website, they list the details of all the tour dates for 2010 and festival appearances.

Please be advised that I am just the messenger, this list of dates could be wrong as not all dates have been announced on the Muse website as of yet.

Slowly but surely the band has begun divulging the answer. As evident by the below itinerary, the band has confirmed six U.S. tour dates for next spring, with more expected to be announced in the days ahead. So far, the trek begins on February 17th in Atlanta and will continue on to Fairfax (VA), New York, Boston, Auburn Hills (MI), and Salt Lake City. One of music’s best new artists!, Silversun Pickups, have been tapped to serve as support. .

An appearance at next year’s Coachella Music Festival, set to take place from April 16-18 in Indio, California, will also be included as part of the band’s U.S. endeavors.

Speaking of festivals, Muse has also announced quite a few headlining appearances for Europe’s many musical extravaganzas. As it stands now, the band is confirmed for five festivals, including Portugal’s Rock in Rio, Germany’s Rock am Ring & Rock im Park, the U.K.’s legendary Glastonbury, Denmark’s Roskilde Festival, and Germany’s Rock Werchter.
