Fans of Glasto and Arcade Fire have given a mixed reaction to the news that they will be headlining next year's festival.
Yesterday, it was revealed that Win Butler and co would be following the huge acclaim and runaway success of No.1 album Reflektor by topping the bill on the Pyramid Stage on Friday 27 June, 2014.
Next year will mark the first time that the band have headlined Glasto. They last performed in 2007, appearing on the Other Stage before Bjork headlined.
The news, was largely met a positive response online:
Had @arcadefire playing all morning, so chuffed they're at @GlastoFest 😁
