Glastonbury is set to take place June 21-25 at Worthy Farm in Pilton, England.  It announced today that Radiohead will play on the Pyramid Stage June 23.

The BBC reported men painting the band’s logo on the campgrounds, generating hype about the band’s potential return. Festival organizer Emily Eavis recently corroborated the news on Instagram stating, “YES! Radiohead will be back at Worthy Farm and we really can’t wait.”

This will be the band’s third time headlining the festival, previously appearing in 1997 and 2003. The group also made a surprise appearance at the festival in 2011.

The band has been playing festivals and headline dates throughout the year to support the release of A Moon Shaped Pool. Highlights included performances at Outside Lands, Secret Solstice and a two-night stand at Madison Square Garden Arena.

The festival website says tickets to the 2017 event are now sold out. You can learn more about the festival at GlastonburyFestivals.co.uk. The place to go for more on the band is Radiohead.com.
