Take That have ruled themselves out of playing at Glastonbury festival next year.
The band, who yesterday announced a mammoth UK arena tour, have been the centre of speculation about this year’s as-of-yet unnamed headliners. Rumours have been flying that the band may perform the Somerset event on June 24th-26th this year. The rumours were also given unexpected support yesterday as the band had left the dates free from their touring schedule.
However, the band were keen to end any speculation, so they addressed the issue yesterday in an interview with BBC Radio One: "No, we're not," Gary Barlow announced, when asked if they were playing.
Mark Owen added: "I love going as a spectator, I've been a few times. We have a big production, we have a big show, I don't think we could put our stage in there, I don't think it's possible. If we're having a good time we might get on the bus and go down. We can go and take our caravan and watch a few other bands."
As always, the festival has been a hot topic for music fans, with a number of high-profile artists being linked with the Pyramid Stage for 2011. So far, speculation has been leaning towards the likes of Prince, Coldplay and U2 to headline, but nothing has been confirmed by organisers so far.
Take that announced yesterday that they will embark on a huge UK tour after having joined forces with ex-band member Robbie Williams. Tickets for Take That go on sale at 9am on Friday 29th October 2010
