Following
last weeks announcement that The Verve will
headline this year's Glastonbury Festival, the
veteran rockers spoke to NME.COM.
Referring to their closing slot on Sunday (June 29), The Verve said: "Playing Glastonbury's a great opportunity to bring yet another aspect of The Verve full circle.
"We played twice in the early '90s which was great - we felt there was a uniqueness in those performances.
"We're really looking forward to playing at night at Glastonbury for the first time when you can witness the full twinkling makeshift city experience at its fucked-up best, the new tunes particularly are perfectly suited to that environment, make of that what you will. "
They added: "See you in the Krishna tent on Monday morning then."
