Radiohead will skip Glastonbury Festival this year because the event is not eco-friendly.
- Feb 29, 2008
AceShowbiz - Known for their love of the Earth, Radiohead refused to play at one of British biggest annual music events. While fans are anticipating for their appearance at the Glastonbury this year, the band had to squash their dreams, reasoning that the stage is not eco-friendly.
Speaking to The Sun, frontman Thom Yorke said, "What we're trying to do is only play in areas that have a public transport infrastructure in place, so that rules out Glastonbury for this year." People who come to the three-days festival usually take private cars as means of transportation rather than boarding a bus or any other public transportation.
Frequent headliners Muse and U2 will also be absent from the festival, but a new face in the event held June 27- 29 will be introduced. Rapper Jay-Z has been confirmed to headline, so has rock singer Neil Diamond. Tickets will start selling on April 6 with prior reservation.
