Blue: "We want to play Glastonbury"

Blue have revealed that they want to play at Glastonbury Festival.

The reformed boyband, who enjoyed a string of bestselling records in the early 2000s, admitted that they are eager to perform at the legendary event.

"The music industry has changed so much. If Jay-Z can do Glastonbury, we can do Glastonbury," Duncan James told the Daily Star.

"Maybe next year, when we may look to record some new material," he added.

The group continued by claiming that their fans had spurred them into getting back together.

"People are going to think we’re jumping on the bandwagon of other bands reforming," Lee Ryan said.

"But there was an urgency for us, and from the fans, to get back together.

"We haven't performed as a band for so long but when I hear the songs I think: ‘Damn, we were good.'"

Blue announced their comeback earlier this week and will perform at Capital FM's Summertime Ball next month.
