Overview
U2 have revealed details about their forthcoming Glastonbury headline performance.
The band will headline the Friday night of the festival in Somerset, which runs from June 24-26.
"It's taken a lot of time and energy to figure out what the setlist is going to be. There's a Where The Streets Have No Name camp or there is the more subtle approach where we could build slowly,'' drummer Larry Mullen told The Sun.
He added: "We've gone through a number of combinations and everyone seems to have a different opinion. We all know who gets his way in the end."
Glastonbury will be headlined by U2, Coldplay and Beyonce. Other acts on the bill include Elbow, Tinie Tempah, Queens Of The Stone Age, Morrissey and DJ Shadow.
