more acts for GlastonburyEditors, Goldfrapp, The Enemy, and The Fratellis to playThursday 13th March 2008 The Guardian online (here) have reported that Editors, Goldfrapp, The Enemy, and The Fratellis are among the bands that will play this year's Glastonbury Festival. The newspaper website also reveals that a spokesman for the festival has said "We're really excited to confirm the latest additions to this year's line-up. Goldfrapp and the Editors are two equally impressive but very different bands and we feel that all of today's announcements, particularly the wonderful Jimmy Cliff, represent what this year's Glastonbury is all about." The organisers of the Festival which takes place at Worthy Farm, Pilton, near Glastonbury, Somerset from Friday 27th to Sunday 29th June have confirmed that the bands will be playing. The headliners for the Pyramid Stage for 2008 have already been confirmed as Kings of Leon, Jay-Z and The Verve. The only other confirmed act to play the festival is CSS, at the Park Stage. There have also been some self confirmations by Hot Chip, Duffy, Jimmy Cliff, Joan Armatrading, Solomon Burke, Leonard Cohen and British Sea Power. Plus, hotly tipped as appearing are Neil Diamond, Gilbert O'Sullivan, and Massive Attack. However none of these have been confirmed by the organisers. The deadline for Glastonbury's pre-registration scheme ends in two days and last chancers must apply here before midnight on Friday 14th March. Registration, involves filling in a simple form and supplying a passport photograph, and full details can be found at www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk. Forms are available on line or at any branch of Millets. Please note that anyone who registered last year does need to register again this year. Festival goers can now tick a box to enable their registration for this year's event to also be eligible to buy tickets in 2009 and 2010. "We couldn’t do that last year because of data protection issues," said Eavis, "so unfortunately anyone who registered in 2007 will need to do so again this year."
