Richard Ashcroft Wants Headline Slot At Glastonbury 2008

Richard Ashcroft has said that he wants The Verve to headline the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2008.

Its said that Richard believes it would be a “travesty” if they weren’t given the slot and claims his band have the ability to turn the gig into something special.

Richard said that “I think it would be a travesty if we didn’t. Because I think what’s missing from a lot of the headliners is we’re one of the few bands that can jam without sounding like Lynyrd Skynyrd on a bad night, so we can actually take people on a proper journey, rock ‘n’ roll-wise. I think that’s what’s great. If you can do that on the big stage, the big tunes can get 60,000 people singing but you’ve also got the capacity to change a standard rock gig into something else. I suppose that’s what’s been exciting about playing and we’ll be excited about playing then.”

What do you think should Richard be given the Headline slot at Glastonbury 2008?
