“See you at Glasto”…
The Lathums have entered the Rumour Mill after drummer Ryan Durrans (also known as Duz) has hinted that he’ll be at Glasto.
The comment was made during a Q&A which took place this evening on the band’s official Twitter account.
A fan asked: “Has Duz still got Ross Perkins pretty green jacket from your gig at Gorilla?” – to which Durrans replied: “Damn right I do, see you at Glasto mate – Duz”
While another fan asked straight up: “Are you playing Glastonbury?”
We thought we’d do a little Q&A since we’ve not done one in a while. Drop any questions below and we’ll reply to as many as we can x

Any chance of seeing you at Glastonbury? Or at least back in London at any time this year?
And any new material?

In an interview with House of Coco lead guitarist, Scott Concepcion, said he’s got a bet with a maths teacher from his high school – where the winning prize is a chocolate bar – that he’ll be playing Glastonbury one day.
The Lathums hail from Wigan, Greater Manchester and consist of singer-songwriter and guitarist Alex Moore, lead guitarist Scott Concepcion, bassist Johnny Cunliffe, and drummer Ryan Durrans. The original lineup briefly included Lewis Halliwell on bass guitar, before his departure from the group.
The band was formed in 2018, having met at The Music College in the local district of Pemberton, after their tutor placed them in the same project group, and were signed within a year to Island Records – They released their debut album, How Beautiful Life Can Be, on 24 September 2021, which saw its debut at number one on the UK Albums Chart on 1 October 2021.
Earlier in the week, while answering fans questions on Twitter, Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis said that some news about Glastonbury 2022 can be expected by the end of the month (February), while also confirming that the first line-up poster will be released in March, with individual area line-ups to follow – before the full line-up plus times will finally drop in June.
Meanwhile, as it stands, Diana Ross, Billie Eilish, R.A.E and most recently Little Simz are the only artists to have been officially confirmed for playing Glastonbury Festival when it returns in 2022.
Ms Ross will be taking to the Pyramid Stage for the Sunday teatime Legends Slot, while Eilish will be playing the same stage on the Friday night – which will subsequently make her the Festival’s youngest ever solo headliner.
That being said, there are many artists who confirm themselves prior to the official announcements by divulging the news during interviews, via social media or website listings.
Some of the recent artists to self-confirm for Glastonubry 2022 include Courtney Barnett, Confidence Man, Craig Charles, Black Dyke Band and Monsieur Doumani – while Noel Gallagher said he will be up for playing if asked.

Glastonbury 2022 is set to take place at its natural home in Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset, from Wednesday 22nd to Sunday 26th June.
Although tickets for the 2022 Festival have already sold out ahead of the 2020 cancelled event (with deposits paid for the 2020 Festival having rolled over for a second year), there are still ways to go to Glasto this summer.
Some of the opportunities include entering competitions, working at the Festival, volunteering or trying for tickets in the spring resales (which have yet to be officially confirmed but will most likely take place sometime around March/April).
