U2 have posted an official statement on their website, telling fans to “watch this space” in regards to returning to Glastonbury in summer 2011.
The message pointed out that there was a gap in their schedule in June next year, which would make headlining the Friday night "a possibility". The band were forced to cancel their headline appearance at this year’s festival due to frontman Bono suffering a back injury.
Luckly for organisers, Damon Albarn’s Gorillaz were able to cover as a last-minute headline act. U2’s guitarist The Edge also came onstage to play with Welsh rockers Muse, where the band played a well-recieved cover of ‘Where The Streets Have No Name’.
The post on U2.com reads: "Looking at the tour dates – there is a gap in the band's schedule ahead of the East Lansing show on June 26th, which would make the Friday night a possibility."
Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis has already invited the band to return, although is refusing to announce which headliners will be playing this year’s festival until all headliners have been confirmed.
Tickets for this Glastonbury 2011 went on sale this Sunday (October 3rd), but sold out within a record-breaking four hours.
There is expected to be a small amount of cancelled tickets for sale later in the year. The festival will take place on 22-26 June 2011.
