<p>U2 are to headline this summer&#8217;s Glastonbury after the rock superstars had to pull out of last year&#8217;s festival at the last minute.</p>
<p>The Irish band&#8217;s 2010 date was axed when singer Bono suffered a back injury and Gorillaz were hastily lined up as a replacement.</p>
<p>Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis said: &#8220;After the disappointment of U2 being unable to play last year, we&#8217;re now doubly excited at the prospect of the Friday night supergroup breaking the sound barrier.&#8221;</p>
<p>The quartet have announced they will be joining Beyonce and Coldplay as bill-toppers this June.</p>
<p>U2 will headline the Pyramid Stage at the event in Somerset on Friday June 24.</p>
<p>The date was announced by guitarist The Edge as he presented the best festival award to Glastonbury at Wednesday night&#8217;s NME Awards.</p>
<p>The musician actually performed at last year&#8217;s event when he had a guest spot with Muse playing Where The Streets Have No Name.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;It&#8217;s more a way of life than a festival. I made it last year to the Friday show &#8211; got to play with Muse, got to hang out, ate a veggie burger and fries, and got to play on the Pyramid Stage. I have to say there is something really special and iconic about that stage.</p>
<p>&#8220;So we&#8217;re all looking forward to coming back to pick up where I left off. And we&#8217;re so excited to get to play in front of the world&#8217;s greatest festival audience. We&#8217;ll see you there.&#8221;</p>
