U2 plan 'Glastonbury on steroids' set for June
Irish band plan grand stage for Somerset bash
Chris Swindells - 28 April 2011
Adam Clayton, bassist with Glastonbury
Festival 2011 headliners U2, has told Q Magazine that
the band plan to use the type of epic production at the event that they normally produce for their stadium shows.
"It's very un-Glastonbury to have a big production, but we will be sneaking a few things in through the back gate which
will hopefully make the experience a little more like Glastonbury on steroids,” he said.
Clayton added: "We're stretching the levels of what can be done. We hope to create a mind blowing experience that reacts well with all the other substances involved."
The band headline the Pyramid Stage on Friday 24 June after a live performance from Morrissey. Coldplay and Beyonce headline the Saturday and Sunday night respectively.
