Arctic Monkeys' Glastonbury set time as band confirmed and crew spotted

Arctic Monkeys' headline set at Glastonbury Festival has been confirmed after concerns Alex Turner would not be well enough to play. The Sheffield band will take to the Pyramid Stage tonight (Friday) and their crew has already been seen on site this morning carrying out preparations.

They cancelled their gig in Dublin on Tuesday night (June 20), leaving fans worried that their Glastonbury performance was in jeopardy. In an announcement, they said that lead singer Alex had fallen unwell with "acute laryngitis".

But sound checks have been carried out this morning, with fans hurrying to the Pyramid Stage after hearing an instrumental of Snap Out of It booming out from behind the stage. A trolley with the words 'Arctic Monkeys Mirror Ball' could also be seen just to the right of the stage.
