U2 Promise 'Bono 2.0' At Glastonbury Festival 2011

U2 frontman Bono has promised that music fans will see “Bono 2.0” at this weekend's Glastonbury Festival.

The band are due to headline the bash a year after they pulled out of the event so the singer could undergo an emergency operation on his back in Munich.

In a video message ahead of their appearance on Friday (June 24), Bono said: "Were I to pull down my pants I have 'Made In Germany' stamped on my ass.

"So - Bono 2.0. Through the wonders of science I'm not just fixed, I'm better."

He also admitted that if the operation had not been a success things could be “very different” for him.

Coldplay and Beyonce will also top the bill over the weekend, with a host of other huge names due to appear.

Gigwise will be coming live from this year's festival. Keep checking gigwise.com for all the latest news, reviews, interviews and photos from Glastonbury.
