Arcade Fire Hint That They’ll Be Glastonbury 2014 Headliners

Arcade Fire’s Win Butler has said that he hopes the band will play UK festivals in 2014, and hinted that they might be headlining Glastonbury.

Speaking to BBC Radio 2 presenter Jo Whiley, Butler responded to a question regarding whether or not the Canadian sextet would be performing at any British festivals next year, saying: “Yeah, I hope so. It’s a special experience.” He then added: “Get your wellies ready!”

Glastonbury is notoriously muddy, and wellies are considered to be mandatory for festival-goers who want to successfully brave its treacherous terrain. Whiley herself then added further fuel to the rumour after the interview had ended, saying: “The wellies have been bought for a certain UK festival – we know the one that has quite a reputation for rain and welly-wearing, we shall leave it at that.” 

Arcade Fire have made an appearance at Glastonbury before, playing a set on the Other Stage in 2007 that drew a huge crowd. With four albums now in the bag, including the recently released, critically-acclaimed Reflektor, it’s looking likely that they will be taking to the legendary Pyramid Stage next summer.
