Speaking to Xfm, The Verve have expressed their interest at headlining Glasto 2008.

Richard Ashcroft told Xfm; 

“I think it would be a travesty if we didn’t. Because I think what’s missing from a lot of the headliners is we’re one of the few bands that can jam without sounding like Lynyrd Skynyrd on a bad night, so we can actually take people on a proper journey, rock n roll wise.

I think that’s what’s great”, he continued. “If you can do that on the big stage the big tunes can get 60,000 people singing, but you’ve also got the capacity to change a standard rock gig into something else. I suppose that’s what’s been exciting about playing and we’ll be excited about playing then.”

Glastonbury Festival 2008 takes place from Friday 27th to Sunday 29th of June 2008.
