Because Bono is temporarily out of service due to his back surgery, the Gorillaz will replace U2 at the Glastonbury music festival in the U.K. on Friday, June 25th. Also on the bill that night-Muse and Stevie Wonder. Says festival organizer Michael Eavis:
“I’m very excited about Gorillaz’ show coming here because they’re so open to guests and collaborations. The alchemy of Friday’s show is going to be astonishing: a perfect, contemporary way to kick off the 40th anniversary celebrations. I am so grateful for the enthusiasm of the media and the whole of the music industry for their willingness and eagerness to support us in what could have been a crisis.”
It’s hard to replace U2, so good luck Gorillaz!
