Biffy Clyro will play the Pyramid Stage on the Sunday evening at this summer’s Glastonbury Festival, organiser Emily Eavis has confirmed. 

Revealing the news to NME earlier today, the band will play ‘warm-up’ to Ed Sheeran who will close as headliner for 2017. Eavis also spoke of the Scottish band’s potential to headline at Worthy Farm in the future, saying “the thing with Biffy is that they’re obviously a massive headliner and they were headlining Reading last year, but they’re going to be playing under Ed Sheeran on Sunday, and I think that’ll be huge. We’re really grateful, and incredibly lucky to have bands that are that size to want to play and be up for playing in those slots as well.”

During the same interview, Emily also confirmed several surprise ‘secret sets’ at The Park to celebrate the area’s 10th anniversary – more on that (and other Glastonbury news) as and when we hear it.

Glastonbury 2017 runs from 21-25 June.

Boy Better Know have been revealed as one of the Other Stage headliners for this summer’s Glastonbury Festival, organiser Emily Eavis has confirmed.

Speaking to NME, Eavis said that the grime movement “feels like punk”, whilst sharing the news of the Other Stage appointment by saying “Stormzy, Skepta, Boy Better Know – it’s going to be great for grime,“.

Eavis added “We were showing the world and leading the day in that genre [at the NME Awards]. Everybody’s listening, even the Americans. It felt like we were witnessing something really exciting and fresh and the whole scene has kind of shifted. Grime has entered our lives in such a big way and it’s brilliant that we’re representing that as much as possible.”

With Wiley also confirmed to appear at Glastonbury this summer, it’s highly likely he’ll be joining BBK onstage too, plus let’s not forget that Drake signed to BBK last year…. so no doubt the rumour mill will run wild on this one!
