Glastonbury for the Killers

THE KILLERS TURN DOWN TOP SPOT AT GLASTONBURY.

The Killers have turned down a headlining spot at one of the world?s most prestigious music festivals, according to the British music magazine NME. The band are set to play second on the bill at this year?s Glastonbury festival in England, but were offered the top spot when pop star Kylie Minogue pulled out due to her breast cancer diagnosis. But the Las Vegas band has turned down the offer. Drummer Ronnie Vannucci said, ?We were offered the headlining slot but we didn?t take it because we?re basically a band that?s been around for, as far as the U-K?s concerned, a little over a year. So we didn?t think we were deserving of a headlining slot, we?re just happy to be playing in a good spot at Glastonbury anyway. We only have one album out.?

How the hell was Kylie headlining Glastonbury? That's a shame to all the bands who've played Glastonbury before them. But good for TK.

Basement Jaxx is headlining now.

They've postponed a gig at a small venue in our town twice now. Rumor has it that it's because MTV offered them a fat load of cash, compared with the $10k they were going to get to play here.

Radiohead did the same thing, except they turned down the top spot and aren't playing at all.
