Line-up and Artists: The Subways
The Subways played on Friday. Check our line-up & artists section to find out which stage and who else played.
This is most definitely the Subways' year. Playing on the Pyramid stage is a pretty huge gig, but those of you who haven't heard of them will be surprised to know that this is their second year playing Glastonbury. They won the new bands competition in 2004, and this year Michael Eavis has bumped them up from the New Bands stage to the opening spot on the Pyramid Stage. (The lucky things get to play twice this year - they're also playing the John Peel stage on Saturday).
Hailing from Welwyn Garden City, they caught the attentions of John Peel and later Zane Lowe. Their first single peaked at 25 in the charts in March this year, and Lightening Seed Ian Broudie is producing their debut album. And they're still only teenagers.

The Subways are fantastic, saw them at the IOW festival. Go see, you will regret it if you don't! - note to girl bassist, you'll give yourself a headache if you keep throwing yourself around like that!

I saw the subways at leeds 04.This was the best band I saw, they rock.
I rave about this band and I hope they become massive.
I would love to see them on billboards all over the world.
I have moved to New Zealand and would love them to come here.

I saw The Subways a few weeks back in a small club in Aldershot - they are supurb. Their stage presence and clutch of excellant songs will surely make them bigger over the next few months. Looking forward to seeing them again on Monday in London - somewhat smaller than Glasto !
