Although Starsailor will not be playing at the Glastonsbury festival, frontman James Walsh says he does not want to miss out on this year's line-up.

Walsh said that if they were offered a spot playing they would not have turned them down.

"I think the bands at Glastonbury, who are gonna sorta conquer Glastonbury, they've already decided really.

"It's still a great festival, I don't want anyone to think I'm slagging it off," Walsh said.

"The line-up, Springsteen and Blur is pretty special."
