Asked if they'd play the legendary festival by The Sun, frontman Simon Le Bon replied: “We are up for it — if we get the right slot."
He went on: "We’re not going to play in a little acoustic tent but if we get the right slot, we’d love to do it.”
Keyboardist Nick Rhodes added: “We played Coachella a few years ago, which was great.
“In the 80s, if you were a pop band you weren’t really asked to play a festival. It’s something we’ve had to learn.”
