Miusic legend Art Garfunkel's guitarist Tab Laven has revealed on Facebook (here) that he'll be playing at this year's Glastonbury Festival. Laven posted, "Home, sweet home in Nashville after a great run of shows through Germany, Paris and Antwerp. We'll be back in England in June to perform at the Glastonbury Music Festival. Headliners this year include Coldplay, Muse and ELO. The huge festival is already sold out! We'll also be doing a show at King Henry the VIII's place, Hampton Court Palace on June 22nd, just outside of London. So if you're in the area....."

So it looks as though we could see an appearance of Art Garfunkel who was half of the unrivalled Simon & Garfunkel, and most famous for timeless classics including Bridge Over Troubled Water, Sounds of Silence and Homeward Bound. Art Garfunkel may be taking to the stage to perform hits from the ever-popular Simon & Garfunkel repertoire, along with his successful solo collection.

This year's line-up is yet to be announced. The first acts confirmed are Friday headliners Muse, Sunday headliners Coldplay, and Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra filling the 'legends' slot on the same day.

The dates for the 2016 Festival will be from Wednesday 22nd to Sunday 26th June. Expect something like 2,000 performances at over 100 venues including music, cabaret, theatre, circus, a fantastic Kidz area, poetry, green crafts and information, site art, decor, and loads, loads more ... much more than just the music, so make sure you check it all out!

In order to buy a ticket, and to stop touting of tickets, you must be registered. Registration does not reserve or guarantee you a ticket in the resale, but if you don't register you will not be able to buy a weekend ticket for Glastonbury Festival 2016.

Car park passes priced at £35 will be available when paying the ticket balance in April. It is not possible to book Car Park tickets until the balance for at least one of the tickets on the booking has been paid.
