U2 have dropped a big hint that they’ll be at Glastonbury Festival next year.

Posted on their official website (here) last night, around 36 hours before tickets are due to go on sale, are the following words…

Tickets for Glastonbury 2011 go on sale this weekend. Will U2 fans finally see ‘Glastonbury’ at Glasto?

Glastonbury’s Michael Eavis has said he’d like U2 to play in 2011 after they missed their slot at Worthy Farm this past June.

Looking at the tour dates - there is a gap in the band’s schedule ahead of the East Lansing show on June 26th which would make the Friday night a possibility.

The most Paul McGuinness would say was, ‘We’re certainly excited about our plans for next year. Watch this space!’

The fact that they’re putting these words on their website suggests that they’re likely to play and to encourage people who want to see them to buy tickets.
