No Coldplay for Glastonbury 2009 say organisers

Muse and Coldplay will not be playing this year's Glastonbury festival, organisers have told NME.

Both bands had been rumoured to be playing The Park stage at this year's event, after several outlets fell for fake Twitter posts. However speaking to NME, Emily Eavis quashed both rumours, though revealed there will be at least one more special guest playing the festival alongside Klaxons, who announced themselves for the stage yesterday (June 23).

Eavis also said she doubted her dad and co-organiser Michael Eavis would ever really quit Glastonbury, despite recent speculation. "I don't think he'll really retire," she admitted. "It works really well at the moment."
