The Chemical Brothers cancel Glastonbury set at Arcadia due to Covid issues

The Chemical Brothers have confirmed that their scheduled DJ set at Glastonbury Festival tonight (June 24) will no longer be taking place. The duo - Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons - had been due to play at Arcadia between 11pm and 1am.

However, the pair revealed on Twitter that they have pulled out of the set as Tom is continuing to recover from having Covid. They said they were disappointed at not being able to do their set, with Bonobo and Groove Armada stepping in to fill the slot.

A statement from the duo said: "We are very sorry to announce that we won't be DJing at Arcadia this evening at Glastonbury. 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.
