“The boys have signed on the dotted line and will return to the Pyramid Stage in June.
“It’s very special for them to do a hat-trick on that stage and it’s something they’ve wanted to do for a while.
“After the festival dates lined up for their upcoming tour, they said they couldn’t play there anymore.
“The band are in the process of assembling their team and working to make their performance one of Glastonbury’s most memorable.”
The group consists of frontman Alex, 36, and includes guitarist Jamie Cook, 37, bassist Nick O’Malley, also 37, and drummer Matt Helders, 36.
