The Irish rap trio remains on the align “Not appropriate” After the member of the group, Liam óg ó Hannaidh, was accused of a terrorist offense.
“There have been a lot of heated subjects this year,” said Festival organizer Emily Eavis at the BBC. “But we remain a platform for artists from around the world, and everyone is welcome here.”
Eavis also said it was unlikely that the title of Neil Young was broadcast by the BBC.
The star is notoriously reluctant to let the cameras interfere with its performance. The last time he played Glastonbury in 2009, his management agreed to let five songs be shown – a decision that was made while Young played his set.
But there will be even more than 90 hours of cover through BBC radio, television and Iplayer. And, as always, there are surprises in store.
More than 50 slots are marked “TBA”, with rumors guests, including festival pillars like Haim and Pulp; Alongside more eccentric options such as Lady Gaga and Radiohead.
