Following the release of their single 'Good for Nothing', Hard-Fi will be headlining the Leftfield stage on Saturday night at Glastonbury. The band will be performing hits from their past two no.1 albums (Stars of CCTV and Once Upon A Time In The West) as well as selections from their forthcoming LP, due out at the end of August. More details to be announced next week.
Their last festival appearance was headlining the Leftfield stage at Glastonbury in 2007 so Saturday's set will be particularly special for the band. Lead singer Richard Archer had this to say, 'We're honoured to have been asked by Billy Bragg to headline that day on the Leftfield Stage at 9.30pm, we've very fond memories of the last time we showed up there - it was a really great night and I hope you can make it along and make this one just as special..'
