'American artist' for Glastonbury Festival 2011?

Sunday night headliner

Wednesday 11th August 2010


Michael Eavis has revealed that next year's Glastonbury Festival Sunday headliner is an American act that festival organiser has been after for ages.

The farmer and Festival organiser was talking about how important the Festival is for Somerset and the country's economy on Heart West Country Radio, here, when he revealed that one of the headline acts is American and an act he's been after them to play the event for some time.

Talking of the Festival headliners he again confirms that two are already booked, before adding, "There's an American artist that I've been wanting for years and yonks, and yonks, but I really can't tell you who it is... I'm so thrilled about it. Sunday night headliner."

The obvious guess would be Madonna, but as is usual with headlining acts, nothing is certain until the names are announced. Glastonbury Festival 2011 are not yet on sale, and the prices have not yet been confirmed. Tickets are expected to go on sale sometime in early October. We'll bring you the details once they are confirmed.

Registration is open for those wanting a ticket for Glastonbury Festival which runs for five full days from Wednesday 22nd until Sunday 26th June across 1,000 acres of beautiful countryside at Worthy Farm, Somerset.

Online registration can be carried out by clicking here.

Everyone who plans to the come the Festival must register, and that includes children aged 13, 14 and 15. Each ticket sold will feature a photograph of the person in whose name it is registered and will be non-transferable. So if you plan to buy tickets for friends or family you must make sure they all register!

Registration does not reserve or guarantee you a ticket when they go on sale some time in October, exact date to be confirmed, but if you don't register you will not be able to buy a weekend ticket for Glastonbury Festival 2011.

Those who registered in 2008 need to re-register as the details were only kept for two years. Those who registered in 2009 or 2010 were offered the chance to save their details - if you did so, your existing registration number is still valid. If you did not opt to have your details saved, then you will need to register again this year.

If you want to check what your registration number is, or when your registration is valid until, click here.

Ticket purchasing will require each buyer to input their name and their unique valid registration number for each ticket they purchase. Tickets will be sent out by courier to the addresses specified when making the sale, and if ordering more than one ticket, all tickets will be dispatched to the address provided during registration for the first name on the ticket booking.

Glastonbury Festival will play host to more than 2,000 performances at 50 or so venues including music, cabaret, theatre, circus, and also has a fantastic Kids area, poetry, green crafts and information and loads, loads more.

No acts are confirmed as yet, but 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 2011 rumours, updated as we receive information.
