One of Groove Armada’s three Glastonbury sets has been cancelled following crowd concerns.

The DJ set, which was scheduled to take place on Thursday night (June 27) at the iconic Stonebridge bar, has now been cancelled due to prospected crowd numbers exceeding the capacity of the bar.

The duo were also set to perform DJ sets on Saturday (June 29) at Silver Hayes' The Levels stage going b2b with Eats Everything, as well as a Sunday (June 30) performance at the The Glade.
