Frightened Rabbit have revealed that they'd love the opportunity to play Glastonbury this year, after they previously played in 2010.

The Scot rockers release their fourth studio album, their first on a major label, in February 2013 and are already weighing up their festival options - naming Glastonbury are their top pick for the summer.

Speaking to Gigwise, frontman Scott Hutchison says, "I'd love to go back. It's just one of those really big boxes that you need to tick and I think having got a wee taste for it, it'd be amazing to back with a few more songs under our belt and maybe a few more people in a field who'd actually heard of us."

He continued, "It was definitely a great experience, I would definitely be up for it. [If they asked] the answer would be yes, put it that way."

Drummer Grant Hutchison added, "It was one of those things where I hadn't been before we played, and you always wonder whether it was going to live up to the hype.

"It's one of those situations where it does and more, you know? So we'd be there."

Glastonbury recently confirmed the first acts to play, which include Malian singer Rokia Traore and singer-songwriter Rodriguez, who featured in the Oscar-nominated documentary Searching For Sugar Man.

When asked if he would continue touring after his festival appearances, according to NME Rodriguez replied, "The offers are becoming obscene.

"We're kicking around ideas. I even suggested to the booking agent that we do a marijuana tour and go to all 16 states that have decriminalised weed. We're thinking of ideas and he's going along with them."
