MACCA GIVES GLASTO THUMBS ALOFT
PAUL McCARTNEY has been confirmed to headline the Saturday night (June 26) at this year's GLASTONBURY.
Festival organiser Michael Eavis confirmed the ex-Beatle's slot at the Oxford Union last night (February 18).
Eavis revealed that McCartney was booked for this year's event on the Tuesday after the festival finished last year.
Other artists confirmed for the three-day festival are The Cure, James Brown, Kings Of Leon, Basement Jaxx, My Morning Jacket and the Scissor Sisters.
Oasis, and The Strokes are currently in talks with Eavis, who revealed Noel Gallagher had phoned him personally to talk about Oasis's participation in the festival. Acts such as Pixies, Muse, Elbow, Idlewild, and Keane are also strongly rumoured to play.
Eavis also commented that he would book the Red Hot Chili Peppers if they contacted him with regards to playing the festival, but felt that they were "more for 14 year-olds".
As previously reported on NME.COM, tickets for the event, taking place on June 25 - 27 at Worthy Farm, Pilton, in Somerset, will go on sale on April 1, at 8pm. Tickets for this year's event will cost £112 plus booking fee, and postage costs. Credit cards will not be accepted, and tickets will be limited to two per person.

yeh i think prince has been droped its thought oasis are doing friday night which was what prince originally was supposed to be doing. He was supposed to be doing it last year but there was some buisness about his fee at the end of it or something. I dont think he's ever been to arsed about playing it to tell you the truth. Oh well, his loss.
