It is confirmed today (February 23) on the festival's official website that Bruce Springsteen will be the Saturday headliner during this year's Glastonbury Festival, which takes place during June 26 - 28. This would be the first time that "The Boss" plays in this popular festival.

Organiser Michael Eavis says, "I'm so pleased that Bruce Springsteen has agreed to come to Worthy Farm for the first time. He's one of the all-time rock legends and I'm confident that this will be one of our best shows ever. He's also a Barack Obama supporter, which makes two headliners in a row who've backed the new President."

His daughter Emily Eavis adds, "I'm knocked out that we've managed to get Bruce to play. It's the icing on the cake of this year's bill, which I'm sure will take everyone's breath away when we announce the full details."
