Gorillaz will replace U2 at this year’s Glastonbury festival after the Irish rockers had to pull out due to Bono having surgery on an injured back.
Festival organiser Michael Eavis said: “This is going to be Gorillaz’ only UK festival appearance.
Gorillaz will now top the bill on the festival’s first night on 25 June. Albarn also headlined the event last year with his band Blur.Mr Eavis added: “It’ll be a massive audio visual spectacle which will really ignite the Pyramid Stage on the Friday night, with Muse, then Stevie Wonder to follow.”
