Finally – after lots of rumours and ‘are they aren’t they‘ speculation – Arcade Fire have confirmed they will be headlining Glastonbury 2014.

Arcade Fire have today announced a huge gig at Dublin’s Marlay Park for 29 June. The date happens to fall on the Sunday of next years Glastonbury, which has inevitably led to speculation that Arcade Fire won’t be playing at Worthy Farm in 2014.

Arcade Fire aren’t doing anything by halves as they continue to push new album Reflektor down our throats, and have today revealed another video for album track ‘Afterlife’.

It looks like yesterday’s poster of The Reflektors playing Blackpool in November wasn’t a one-off, but part of a set of dates Arcade Fire are playing in the UK next month.
