Festival organiser Paddy Glasgow said, “Having Therapy? play the festival is something we’ve been trying to make a reality for a few years now and I’m delighted that we can finally make it happen in 2012.

“The guys are legends of the music scene and respected the world over for their talent and having them headline their first NI festival is something we’ve proud to make happen,” he said.

“As always, Glasgowbury attempts to programme a festival based around the best in homegrown talent and I think this year’s event will be testament to that.

“ We received over 700 submissions for Glasgowbury 2012 and the demo team had a hard job finalising that but I think this year’s bill shows the diversity and fantastic range of acts that we have here,” he added.

Glasgowbury 2012 takes place across the weekend of July 21st and ‘early eagle’ tickets are on sale until the end of May at 2010 prices.
