Another American Glastonbury Headliner Makes Another British Band Cranky

First Noel Gallagher clucked his tongue at Jay-Z, now Shrek The Third campaigners The Fratellis are grousing about the Kings Of Leon headlining the Pyramid Stage right after their performance. No, the Fratellis don’t think they should headline instead, they just think Kings Of Leon isn’t cool enough for the honor. Says bassist Barry, “Someone said I didn’t like the Kings Of Leon–I actually love them, but I just don’t think they should be headlining. Not to say I think we should be headlining, but I don’t think the headline acts this year are too good to be honest.” Aw, I was hoping to finally hear a Brit admit the Kings Of Leon kinda suck.

The Fratellis lack of enthusiasm about the upcoming festival can be partially blamed on the crappy time they had last year, when they were one rung lower on the Pyramid Stage line-up.

“We had a disaster last year. Everything that could go wrong, did.

“Backdrops fell down, equipment broke, and other sh**.

“We built it up in our own heads: ‘F***, we’re playing Glastonbury, third from the top on the Pyramid Stage.’

“We built it up as this big thing and it was sh**e. The only thing that saved our weekend was that I got to see The Who from the side of the stage.

“If it hadn’t been for that I would have gone home in disgust and never come back.”

Why did you come back, guys? I don’t think there’s a law in England that says you have to play Glastonbury. Is there?
