Devon band Tors are set to play at Glastonbury, thanks to BBC Introducing in the South West.

It has already been a great year for the trio - brothers Matt and Theo Weedon and Jack Bowden.

The band's music has been played on BBC Radios 1 and 2 and they have signed their first record contract.

Now they will follow in the footsteps of acts like George Ezra, Ed Sheeran and Little Simz on the BBC Introducing stage.

BBC Introducing in the South West presenter Daniel Pascoe recommended Tors for a slot on the BBC Introducing stage at Worthy Farm.

He said: "They're the perfect representation of the talent that exists in the South West.

"They had told me in previous interviews that to play Glasto would be their ultimate dream - so to tell them their dream was going to come true was just amazing.

"They will absolutely smash it."

Moments after hearing the news, Matt Weedon said: "I feel sick with nerves and excitement.

"That's one of the best things that anyone has ever told me."

Theo Weedon added: "I'm elated, I'm so, so happy, that's insane, thank you.

"That is literally a dream achieved."

Tors have already toured in Europe this year, supporting James Blunt, and are now touring the UK and USA.
