The news comes after Coldplay were confirmed as the first headliners earlier this week. We now know that Coldplay, Electric Light Orchestra and PJ Harvey will all be playing the Worthy Farm festival on the Sunday.
This year’s festival will see Coldplay as the first act ever to headline the event on four different occasions. Speaking to BBC 6 Music Eavis talked about her and the festivals great relationship with the band saying; “There’s a definite sense of pride to see them go through everything they’ve been through to become this massive band... It’s brilliant to have them back.”
In other news it appears that Foo Fighters wont get their chance to headline the festival this year after pulling out late last year due to Dave Grohl breaking his leg. In a separate interview Eavis let it slip that “We’ve got three brilliant British bands headlining the festival, although I haven’t actually told anyone that yet!”.
