Emily Eavis has confirmed whether or not Arctic Monkeys will headline Glastonbury tonight (Friday, June 23) after fans worried they might not make it following a gig cancellation earlier this week.
The rock band announced on Tuesday that frontman Alex Turner had acute laryngitis which forced them to cancel their show in Marlay Park, Dublin, on Wednesday.
In a statement, the Sheffield band said they were 'extremely sorry' and issued refunds for the gig. It led many to fear that Arctic Monkeys might not be able to play their Pyramid Stage set at the iconic festival.
But in an interview with Zoe Ball on her BBC Radio 2 show, Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis confirmed the band's Glastonbury fate.
