Michael Eavis, Glastonbury organiser, said: "This is going to be Gorillaz' only UK festival appearance, and it'll be a massive audio visual
spectacle which will really ignite the Pyramid on the Friday night, with Muse, then Stevie Wonder to follow.
"The alchemy of Friday's show is going to be astonishing: a perfect, contemporary way to kick off the 40th anniversary celebrations."

Said Murdoc from Gorillaz: "We're like some great big horrible warship pulling in to the Bay of Glastonbury to save the day. It was us or The
Beatles and they split up years ago. The previous soldiers got pulled from duty last minute so it's up to my Plastic Beach naval cavalry to sail in
and sort the battlefield out. I can assure you though, I'm bringing extra troops. Loads of them. Glastonbury will be ours…cutlasses drawn, trumpets
ready. We're coming in…"
