Eavis 'Hopeful' Kylie Will Headline Glastonbury

Kylie Minogue is set to finally play Glastonbury after having to pull out of the festival in 2005 due to her cancer diagnosis.

Festival organiser Michael Eavis says he’s been in talks with her management, and is "hopeful" Kylie will headline the main-stage next summer - as Gigwise so wisely predicted on Friday.

He tells the Sun, “We speak to her people, we don't speak to her in person but we're hopeful it's going to happen.

"I think she wants to do it, she's a hardworking girl and she enjoys the challenge. And she'd have the time of her life here."

Minogue is returning to the stage later this year following successful treatment of her illness.

Eavis also revealed next year’s festival will feature a shock performance from a band who last played together 35 years ago.

He teased, “At the time they were one of the biggest bands in the world. No one can guess who they are, it's a lovely mystery.

"They will play on the Friday night, either the penultimate or two down from the top on the billing."

Hmmmm.... is it The Beatles?
