U2's Glastonbury dreams are not over - they are set to headline the legendary British music festival next year (11).

The Irish rockers were forced to pull out of their headlining slot at the upcoming event after frontman Bono was admitted to hospital last month (May10) for emergency back surgery.

Damon Albarn's virtual band Gorillaz stepped in to replace them on the famed Pyramid Stage.

But a spokesperson for the festival admits the band is being lined up to appear at the 2011 weekender.

The rep tells NME.com, "They've never played here before and we're very disappointed they can't perform but they could well be back next year."

Glastonbury will take place in Somerset, south-west England from 23 June (10).
