First acts 'confirmed' for Glastonbury
TheBoyDeadly by TheBoyDeadly January 31st, 2008

We’re not sure whether to believe this or not, but Q are reporting that Neil Diamond and Hot Chip are the first odd couple to be confirmed for this year’s Glastonbury festival.

The event, set to run from Friday the 27th ‘til Sunday the 29th of June at Worthy Farm in Somerset, will apparently see Diamond playing the Pyramid Stage on the Sunday while the magazine’s website is claiming that Hot Chip will appear at some indeterminate stage.

The laborious ticket registration process will commence tomorrow, Friday the 1st of February, and the image of festival organisers throwing out these two acts as a lure gives more credence to the reports we suppose.
