Two Glastonbury 2011 Headliners Booked
But who are they? Plus, U2 still haven't confirmed...
Michael Eavis has revealed that he's already booked two headliners for next year's Glastonbury Festival... but hasn't revealed who they actually are!
Speaking to the BBC, the organiser said he was "absolutely thrilled" with the two acts, but wouldn't be drawn on their identity. He did, however, confirm that he's asked U2 to play the Friday night, but he has yet to hear back from them. Bono and co were, of course, due to headline the Pyramid Stage this year but had to withdraw when the singer injured his back.
"Although it is very good to get headline artists, like Stevie Wonder and Muse, that's not the whole story," explained the farmer. "There's a lot more going on at Glastonbury and that's why we're so popular."
He also revealed that Muse had asked him to join the band on stage to sing John Lennon's 'Imagine', but later changed their minds. Hmmm.
