Oasis rule out Glastonbury 2009
The band say they will concentrate on their tour instead of Glastonbury.
The lead singer Noel says Oasis wont be playing at Glastonbury 2009. It is said that Oasis have said they will not be performing at next year’s Glastonbury festival and will instead concentrate on their stadium tour. A massive blow to Oasis fans i would assume.
Speaking at the announcement of the stadium gigs guitarist Noel Gallagher said the group have no intentions of filling one of the slots at the event.
He said he is a big fan of the festival but that the band have never performed well there and next year they will not take part.
“Glastonbury is great to be at but it’s not really good for people like me to play at because you don’t go on until 11 at night and all the people you’re with by that time are absolutely battered,” Noel stated.
