Damon Albarn Wants Lou Reed To Perform With Gorillaz At Glastonbury

May 28, 2010
Damon Albarn Wants Lou Reed To Perform With Gorillaz At GlastonburyDamon Albarn says he's hoping tempt Lou Reed to guest with Gorillaz at Glastonbury next month.

The cartoon collective were drafted in to headline at Worthy Farm Wednesday following U2's cancellation due to Bono's back injury and are planning to up the ante from their recent Roundhouse shows.

With Snoop Dogg a dead cert guest thanks to his slot on The Pyramid Stage earlier on the Friday, Albarn says he wants Lou Reed to sing on 'Some Kind Of Nature' to make it a “full house.”

He told Radio 1's Zane Lowe: "I just hope we can convince Lou Reed and he grasps that it's a real privilege to get the chance to do it.

"Then we'd have a complete house and that really would be amazing.” Albarn, who also headlined Glastonbury last year with Blur, continued to explain that Gorillaz' show is a whole different entity to the showmanship of U2.

"I'm not thinking for one second that I can compete with that kind of thing,” he added.

“This is something very separate and I wouldn't try to compare the two at all.

"Obviously it's a great shame for U2 that they can't do that. I know that they were really looking forward to playing that gig. They've never done Glastonbury.

"It's magic, Glastonbury. It's definitely magic in so many ways."
