Sunday Afternoon Slot Glastonbury
- Dexys Midnight Runners singer Kevin Rowland says he isn't interested in performing the legends' slot at Glastonbury with his bandmates. The Sunday afternoon slot at Michael and Emily Eavis' world-famous festival has become one of the highlights of the event but Kevin isn't bothered about singing his greatest hits at Worthy Farm, at the moment.
- GLASTONBURY festival is so iconic, there's no wonder why musical icons such as Dolly Parton and Tony Bennett have all graced its Pyramid Stage. This year the Sunday afternoon spot will go to Kylie.
- RADIOHEAD have been booked in Glastonbury’s Sunday afternoon slot for heritage acts whose music young people enjoy ironically.
RADIOHEAD have been booked in Glastonbury’s Sunday afternoon slot for heritage acts whose music young people enjoy ironically. In 2017, the Oxford rockers will follow Lionel Ritchie and Dolly Parton by performing to an audience only familiar with them because their dad played their music in his Vauxhall Cavalier when he picked them up from school. The Lover singer, 30, thrilled fans as she announced she's set to headline Glastonbury 2020's Sunday slot for the festival's 50th anniversary.

Watch these Courteeners fans get engaged during the band's set at Glastonbury 2017:
We’re delighted to announce that Kylie is finally bringing her show to Glastonbury. She’ll play the legendary Sunday afternoon slot on the Pyramid Stage at next year’s Festival. And as Emily Eavis just wrote on Twitter, “We cannot wait”.
Kylie will play the Sunday teatime slot which has previously been graced by artists including Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, ELO, Barry Gibb, Shirley Bassey and Paul Simon.
Writing on Twitter, Kylie said: “I’m so thrilled to announce that I’ll be playing the ‘Legend slot’ on Sunday 30th June at Glastonbury 2019. It will be 14 years since I was originally meant to appear there and so much has happened up to now. I can’t wait to see you all there to share this special show.”
This will be Australian’s first set at Glastonbury. Kylie was due to perform here in 2005, but was forced to pull out for health reasons. However, she does have some experience of the Pyramid Stage having made a memorable guest appearance with Scissor Sisters in 2010.
