Elton John is set to headline the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury Festival next year.
The news was announced by co-organiser Emily Eavis on Friday (2 December) on Twitter.
“It gives me enormous pleasure to let you know that the one and only Elton John will be making his first-ever Glastonbury appearance, headlining the Pyramid Stage on Sunday night next year,” she wrote.
“This will be the final UK show of Elton’s last-ever tour, so we will be closing the Festival and marking this huge moment in both of our histories with the mother of all send offs.
“We are so very happy to finally bring the Rocket Man to Worthy Farm!”
Glastonbury 2023 will return to Worthy Farm from 21 June to 25 June.
This performance will be John’s headline second-ever UK festival appearance.
