The Chemical Brothers confirmed their appearance at the festival just a couple of days ago.

Anticipation for The Chemical Brothers’ DJ set at Glastonbury tonight has only been able to last barely hours.

The duo’s Arcadia appearance has been cancelled due to Tom Rowlands coming down with Covid.

“We are very sorry to announce that we won’t be DJing at Arcadia this evening at Glastonbury,” a statement reads. “We were so excited to be back in the fields and to celebrate the return of the festival, as we were to be playing in Cork on Thursday night.”

“We were hoping that more days rest would allow Tom to recover from Covid this hasn’t so far been the case. We are hoping that Tom will recover in time to play the scheduled Castle Howard show in York on Sunday and will update with progress as soon as possible via our socials.”

“We share the disappointment and frustration at not being able to do what we do with all you.”

Instead, have a watch of their brilliant 2007 set below.
