Critics favourite, The National are enjoying widespread success with their much lauded new album High Violet. The Brooklyn based band lead by the distinctive deep tones of Matt Berninger return to Glastonbury after a stunning turn on the John Peel Stage in 2008. Having earned considerably more followers since then with their captivating blend of indie Americana, The National will be a must-see at the festival this year.
