La web oficial de Glastonbury y U2.com confirman la presencia de U2 en el Festival el viernes 24 de Junio de 2011.
La noticia fue anunciada mediante un video enviado por The Edge en la gala de los premios NME, en el momento que se entregaba a Michael y Emily Eavis el premio al Mejor Festival Musical:
"It's more a way of life than a festival. I made it last year to the Friday show - got to play with Muse, got to hang out, ate a veggie burger and fries, and got to play on the Pyramid Stage. I have to say there is something really special and iconic about that stage. So we're all looking forward to coming back to pick up where I left off. And we're so excited to get to play in front of the world's greatest festival audience. We'll see you there."
