crooner Andy Williams invited to play Glastonbury Festival

and registration for tickets re-opened this morning

Monday 12th October 2009


Blue-eyed crooner Andy Williams has revealed that Glastonbury Festival organiser Michael Eavis has invited him to appear at next year's 40th anniversary of the event.

Michael Eavis (Festival organiser)
The 81 year old singer was a guest at the Cheltenham Literature Festival on Saturday (10th October) at an event to promote his autobiography, 'Moon River And Me'.

The American crooner revealed that Michael Eavis had invited him to perform at the festival's 40th anniversary in an interview with John Wilson, a host with BBC Radio 4's Front Row.

The packed audience at Cheltenham Literature Festival cheered when Williams said he had been booked. The singer explained that he had been approached to perform on the Sunday afternoon slot on the Pyramid stage next year. He said he was minded to do it but obviously dependent on his health.

Williams , who will be 82 next year, started performing with his musical brothers when he was seven years old, had hits with 'Moon River', 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' and 'Music To Watch Girls By'. He still sings regularly at his Moon River Theatre in his hometown of Branson, Missouri.

Tickets sold out in just over 12 hours for next year's Festival which runs for five full days from Wednesday 23rd until Sunday 27th June 2010 in the beautiful countryside at Worthy Farm, Somerset.

In order to buy a ticket all festival goers must be registered, with online registration only taking a few minutes, registration for those wishing to buy tickets for 2010 re-opened this morning.

There will be no further ticket sales until early in 2010 (when cancelled orders will be re-sold). Online registration can be carried out by clicking here.

For more details about registering and ticket information click here.

Expect something like 2,000 performances at 50 or so venues including music, cabaret, theatre, circus, a fantastic Kidz area, poetry, green crafts and information and loads, loads more... much more than just the music, so make sure you check it all out!

The line-up has yet to be revealed, although farmer Eavis, has said, "We're trying to get the best headliners in the world." As usual eFestivals will bring you the very best-sourced rumours, allowing festival-goers to see who is playing long before the bands are formally announced - keep your eyes on the Glastonbury 2010 rumours, updated as we receive information.
