Electropop legends Erasure believe they’ve been overlooked by the Glastonbury Festival too many times. The duo are one of the few iconic pop acts who have never performed live at Worthy Farm – and they’ve never come close according to frontman Andy Bell. “We’ve never, ever spoken to them,” he says. “There are some bands, and I think Erasure is one of them, where you were never ever fashionable. We were very popular but we were never in the clique and I think Glastonbury is one of those clique ventures. I’m not sure whether we will ever be asked. We haven’t played that many other festivals either. But I’d quite like to visit Glastonbury and go down The Rabbit Hole, which is that secret pub they have down there.”
And it’s not just Glasto who are failing to spot the potential of a Erasure headline set. “There are so many festivals that we’ve never been asked to do. It’s really weird with us because we don’t seem to fit the rock’n’roll mould. People seem to have this idea and prejudice of what we are sometimes. It’s almost like they never know what we’re about until they come and see us. I think we just got pipped to the post by Pet Shop Boys for all that kind of stuff. They’re the trendy ones!”
