Veteran entertainer Shakin' Stevens has said that he is “very pleased” to have been asked to perform at this year's Glastonbury festival.
Stevens, who will perform on the Pyramid Stage next Saturday (June 28th), said he was delighted to be playing the “biggest festival there is in Britain”.
In an interview with the Guardian newspaper, he also said he hoped that his performance at the festival would address peoples preconceptions about him.
"People have got a preconceived idea of what I look like, what I perform and what my shows are all about,” he said.
“I can understand that, because all they can refer to is 'Top Of The Pops'. But those who come to my shows know better."
The Glastonbury Festival takes place from June 27th-29th. Tickets are still available – click here for more information.
