Glastonbury Festival has announced that Bruce Springsteen will be the Saturday night headliner at this year’s festival. This is great news and a real u-turn after last years headliner was Jay-z. The Boss is really doing the rounds this year as FestivalPlanet have already posted stories about headlining both Hard Rock Calling and Bonnaroo

Also there may be another chance to get tickets. tickets for this year’s festival have now sold out. A very limited number of cancelled tickets will go on sale at 9am on April 5th. So add the date to your diary!

Michael Eavis said “I’m so pleased that Bruce Springsteen has agreed to come to Worthy Farm for the first time. He’s one of the all-time rock legends and I’m confident that this will be one of our best shows ever. He’s also a Barack Obama supporter, which makes two headliners in a row who’ve backed the new President.”

Adds Emily Eavis: “I’m knocked out that we’ve managed to get Bruce to play. It’s the icing on the cake of this year’s bill, which I’m sure will take everyone’s breath away when we announce the full details.”
