Mumford & Sons Confirmed For Glastonbury Festival 2010

Glastonbury Festival head honcho Michael Eavis has confirmed that Mumford & Sons will be playing this summer's event.

The folk outfit will play The Park stage, which will be celebrating its fourth year in 2010.

Asked by Glastonbury FM what kind of music he is currently listening to, Eavis said: "A band called Mumford & Sons, you might get fed up with it eventually but I'm still enjoying it. They will be playing up in The Park this year, so that'll be good."

According to eFestivals, Eavis also told the station that there will be a new late night area of the site called Section 9.

"We're (investing) down in the the old Lost Vagueness Fields, now called Shangri-La,” he said.

“We've now got Shangri-La, we've got Trash City, Arcadia, and we've got Section 9 which is a new area.

“So, we're investing heavily into that area down there for entertainment, because that's where people want to be. We're increasing investment into that area by about £200,000."

This year's Glastonbury Festival takes place at Worthy Farm, Pilton from Wednesday 23rd to Sunday 27th June 2010.

All remaining unclaimed tickets will be re-sold to those registered at 9am on April 11th. There will also be a series of coach and ticket packages available.
