Major Major Announced as First Band Confirmed for Glastonbury 2009
Although it is not taking place till June next year, the Glastonbury festival has already confirmed the first band in the line-up for one of, if not THE biggest festival taking place next year.
The four piece band, who hail from our very own city of culture (That’s Liverpool if you didn’t know) are called Major Major and recently won the Rockstar Bands competition held earlier this year in a village called Pilton.
By winning the competition, they won a place at Glastonbury and also a recording session at Peter Gabriel’s studio! Well done lads!
It hasn’t been announced which stage they will be performing on but you may have seen them recently if you went to the Glastonbury party gig where they played with the likes of The Ting Tings and Franz Ferdinand. If you haven’t had the chance to check them out yet, take a look at their myspace page and have a listen to the songs they have uploaded on their main page.
Tickets for the festival have already gone on sale with an option to pay a deposit to reserve a place. This is the forst time that the festival has sold tickets in this way. They tell us it is because they want to make it easier for students to go but other news reports that they only broke even last year so looks like they may want to get your mioney in the bank early enough to earn big sums of interest - just a thought!
