In a statement shared by his publicist, the singer said he “couldn’t be more excited to be headlining the Pyramid Stage,” adding that he could not “wait to embrace the spirit of the greatest festival in the world. It’s going to be incredibly emotional.”
“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 the Sunday night next year,” Eavis said.
“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,” she added.
The performance will close the UK leg of John’s “Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour,” publicized as his last ever, with more than 300 dates before his retirement after 52 years of touring.
So far, John has performed across Europe, and more recently, North America. At the Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles last month, he took the stage in a sequined Dodgers baseball uniform, recreating his look from his previous appearance at the stadium, in 1975.
