LONDON, Dec 16, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Pop superstar Taylor Swift will
headline at Britain’s famous Glastonbury Festival for the first time next
year, organisers and the singer have announced.
The “You Need to Calm Down” singer will perform on the storied Pyramid
Stage on Sunday June 28, the final day of the music bash, the festival said
on its website.
“I’m ecstatic to tell you that I’ll be headlining Glastonbury on its 50th
anniversary — See you there!” the Grammy Award-winner tweeted Sunday.
“She’s one of the biggest stars in the world and her songs are absolutely
amazing. We’re so delighted,” said organiser Michael Eavis.
The American singer-songwriter, who celebrated her 30th birthday last
week, recently released her seventh album “Lover”, after signing a new deal
with Universal Music Group.
Former Beatles frontman Paul McCartney has already been announced as the
top-billing for Saturday night, having previously headlined in 2004, while
Motown star Diana Ross will play the Sunday afternoon legend slot.
This year’s headliner was grime star Stormzy.
All 135,000 tickets for the 50th anniversary festival went on sale in
October and sold out in 34 minutes.
