It has been announced that Elton John will headline Glastonbury Festival next summer, playing his last ever UK date of his farewell tour.
The pop star will play on the Pyramid stage on Sunday, June 25, closing the festival's mains stage. It represents only the second time the Rocket Man singer has made an appearance at a UK festival. Last month he played his final US show at Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium, a standout performance with an appearance from his Cold Heart collaborator Dua Lipa.
In a statement announcing the show, Elton John said: "I couldn’t be more excited to be headlining the Pyramid stage. As the end of my Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour comes into view, there is no more fitting way to say goodbye to my British fans.
