This is the YouTube video they linked to.

Are they confirming themselves for Glastonbury?
We’ll leave you to decide that.

Guildford punk-rock band The Stranglers have confirmed they will be playing this year’s Glastonbury on their website.

The Stranglers are playing at Glastonbury. Despite many years of rumours about feuds between the band and organisers, we can confirm they will be appearing at Britain’s best known festival in Pilton on Friday 25th June.

Unfortunately, the festival is already totally sold out but the band is following a Glastonbury tradition and will be playing a low-key warm up in the West country area the night before their appearance.

Details of the low-key gig must remain under wraps for the time being but we will announce the details through the site as soon as we are able. This gig is happening to reward any disappointed fans in the area (and beyond) who are unable to get into Glastonbury.

We’ll bring you the ticket link as soon as we have it. We also hope that for those of us unable to attend the festival, the BBC treats us to some great live footage of the band over the course of the weekend.

Stay tuned for other high-profile gig news coming in the next few days…

In an interview with Charlie Ralph, the duo said

I hope that Glastonbury is cool this year – we’ve only played it once and it was a bit weird filling in for another band, this time it will be more like our own show so should be way better.

Irish folk rock band The Saw Doctors have confirmed that they will be playing at this year’s Glastonbury Festival. This follows speculation that they will visiting Worth Farm after cryptically posting on Facebook and Twitter “Glastonbury anyone?”
