London - Anti-capitalist activists say they plan to protest during U2's performance at England's Glastonbury festival, accusing the Irish group of dodging tax.
The group Art Uncut says it will unfurl banners and placards in front of TV cameras. Member Charlie Dewar said frontman Bono "is well known for his anti-poverty campaigning", but has avoided paying Irish taxes.
U2 is headlining the first night of the three-day festival.
Some 170 000 people have descended on a farm in southwest England for the music extravaganza, which includes sets by Morrissey, Mumford and Sons, Coldplay, Beyonce and scores of other acts.
Rubber boots are the fashion item of choice after heavy rain turned the 364ha site into a mudbath. More rain is forecast for later on Friday.
