R.E.M. have announced their tour dates for next summer, and Glastonbury is confirmed.

They'll play at Worthy Farm - providing a licence is granted at the hearing this Thursday (we should have the info first, as we did last year) - on Friday 27th June. They last played the Festival in 1999.

Other bands rumoured to play include the Rolling Stones and Craig David, and no Glastonbury rumour list of recent years would be complete without Radiohead.
