Eavis confirms 2010 booking for Glastonbury Festival

Festival organiser Michael Eavis has claimed to have booked one of the headliners for next year's Glastonbury Festival.

Michael Eavis negotiated the deal at last night's NME Awards, and told Teletext's Planet Sound (here), "I've booked the Friday headliner after talking to someone's agent an hour ago. It's the 40th anniversary in 2010, and we're also hoping to seal a really amazing anniversary headliner soon."

The 2008 Glastonbury Festival also picked up an award for the Best Live Event at the awards ceremony. Michael Eavis and his daughter and co-organiser Emily Eavis, accepted the award. Michael Eavis thanked festival goers and the headliners, saying, "Thanks to Kings and Jay-Z, and thanks to for the publicity campaign. Thanks to the 150,000 who kept the faith. See you later this year!"

Tickets for Glastonbury Festival held for five full days from Wednesday 24th until Sunday 28th June 2009 at Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset have already sold out months before the event.

Although the full line-up for this year's Festival has not yet been announced, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band have been confirmed as one of the headliners. To see who might be playing take a look at the eFestivals' Glastonbury 2009 rumours >>.

A further release of a limited number of cancelled tickets will go on sale from 9am on Sunday 5th April 2009, although in order to do so you must have registered beforehand to be eligible to buy a ticket. However, it's unlikely that they'll be a huge number of tickets available on that day. They will be priced at £175 (plus a booking fee of £5).
