Glastonbury Festival Targeting Four Headliners In 2009

Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis has revealed that the festival is targeting four headliners this year.

The festival's founder said that, if confirmed, two acts would top the bill on the Saturday night for the first time.

"You'll be amazed when you hear the headliners we've got coming this year, and we've already sold 90% of the tickets for this year already," he told the BBC.

"We've got four headliners at the moment. If they all confirm, then I've got two headliners for Saturday."

Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and the recently reformed Blur have all been suggested as possible headliners.

Eavis declined to say who the festival's targets were, but did claim he had put off confirming a "big American act" on Monday in order to travel to the Midem music conference in France.

Eavis collected an award for his environmental work at the event.

All of Glastonbury's 137,500 tickets went on sale in October. The will run from June 26th-28th.

Tickets for the event are on sale now. For more information check out the Gigwise Gig Guide.
