Glasvegas Describe 2008 Festivals Performances As 'Terrible'

Glasvegas have attacked their own performances at last summer's festival, saying that they were unprepared for the shows.

Speaking about the appearances at the likes of Glastonbury and T in the Park, guitarist Rab Allan described them as “terrible”.

He told Music Minded: "Last year we were really unprepared and terrible. That was purely lack of experience and we didn't know what to expect."

He went on to add: "This time around we're probably more experienced as a band and we know what we're going into," he said. "To be honest [festivals can be like a] cattle market. Every band gets thrown onstage then dragged back off.

"It's so quick. I think if you go into it looking at it like that, you won't be too disappointed. The most important thing is that everyone at the front enjoys it."

The Glaswegians are all set to perform at this weekend's Coachella festival in California and are also confirmed for Leeds and Reading.
