Paul McCartney will headline Glastonbury alongside Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar

Sir Paul McCartney is reportedly going to headline at this year's Glastonbury.

The Beatles star, 79, will be taking to the Pyramid Stage in July, a music insider has claimed.

"Paul’s set will be an absolutely must-see. He is really excited for it and is determined to put on a hell of a show packed with all of the hits," the source told The Sun.

"He is feeling really ready to get back out on the road in the US and then will be raring to tackle Glasto when he gets back.

"There was some discussion about whether he should go ahead with shows this year because of the situation with Covid, but he decided he really wants to perform."

McCartney taking to the famous festival's stage will be a week after his 80th birthday - making him the oldest person to ever headline the event.

He is said to be playing on the Saturday night following sets from Noel Gallagher and Haim, with Billie Eilish doing so on the Friday and Kendrick Lamar closing the festival on the Sunday.

Other performers already announced for the huge weekend include the legendary Diana Ross, who has been placed in the Sunday afternoon Legends slot.

She had originally been due to play the festival’s popular legends slot during the event’s 50th anniversary in 2020 before it was cancelled.

The show's organiser Emily Eavis has confirmed the full line-up will be confirmed next week.

Last week, reports emerged that Taylor Swift will not headline this year's Glastonbury despite agreeing to perform at the cancelled 2020 event.

The popsinger, 32, reportedly "politely declined" to take part in the upcoming event as she is focused on re-recording her old albums.
