No Muse, Coldplay at Glastonbury

Emily Eavis has rejected reports that Muse or Coldplay will make an appearance at this year's Glastonbury Festival.

Following the late additions of Klaxons and N.E.R.D. to the bill, it had been suggested that either of the British bands would perform in a special guest slot on The Park stage.

Eavis told the NME: "I'm glad Klaxons announced themselves so their fans know they can catch them there, we have another surprise on Friday and it's really exciting for us.

"It's not despite the rumours. We're well excited."

She added that she does not think her father and Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis will step down from the festival, despite his recent comments about transferring control of the event to her.

"I don't think he'll really retire. It works really well at the moment," she said.

Festivalgoers started arriving at Glastonbury yesterday amid weather forecasts predicting a mixture of rain and sunshine.
