Depeche Mode 'Turned Down Glastonbury Festival Due To Line Up'

April 6, 2009
Depeche Mode 'Turned Down Glastonbury Festival Due To Line Up'Depeche Mode turned down the opportunity to perform at this year's Glastonbury festival because they didn't like the line up.

The group were strongly rumoured to make an appearance at the event in June to promote their new album.

But keyboardist Andrew Fletcher told The Daily Star: “Glasto would be fun but the line-up didn’t quite work for us.

“Getting the right bill is important.”

This year's Glastonbury festival will be headlined by Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Blur.

Depeche Mode are due to release their new album 'Sounds Of The Universe' on April 20th.
