The request for the specific “33 minute and 10 second” slot is a nod to his new Nokia phone tribute single ‘3310’, which was released earlier this month as the first taster of his new album, ‘Ghosts (100 Days of Morning)’, which drops on October 9 via Polydor Records.
Now, he has confirmed that he has secured that last minute set at Reading Festival, and will be opening the main stage – now named as The Grid – tomorrow (Friday August 27) at 12pm.
