Mogwai and Metallica will be playing sets at the same time during the 2014 ‘Glastonbury Festival‘, which this year will be held on June 25th-29th. Band guitarist/vocalist Stuart Braithwaite remained diplomatic about the apparent controversy of the metal band ‘invading’ ‘Glastonbury‘, telling Gigwise:
“I just can’t wait until we go all quiet and you can hear ‘Enter Sandman‘ in the background, because we’re on at the same time. I don’t really see the fuss. They’re a pretty big rock band and it’s a pretty big rock festival. It would be good if they could go back in time to 1989. Metallica at Glastonbury in 1989″
The bands multi-instrumentalist Barry Burns was far more harsh however, offering:
“I can’t wait to hear that guy [Lars Ulrich] play the drums again – unbelievably bad. He’s terrible.”
Drummer Martin Bulloch also added his opinion stating that the band were “shite.”
