Young, Boss, Blur Headlining Glastonbury '09

thumbnail icon: Young, Boss, Blur Headlining Glastonbury '09

In a move to entice your dad into a pair of wellies, Glastonbury has allegedly booked Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and the reunited Blur to headline its annual festival (6/26-28 at Worthy Farm, Pilton). The line-up, bandied about last week, is now being confirmed by The Sun, who is never wrong. Still rumored to appear: Kanye West, the Specials, the Coral and Squeeze. You'll remember our amusement when Jay-Z headlined this year and Noel Gallagher was a ponce about it. Unfortunately for us Kanye and Damon will probably get on fine.

dauymn, not a bad lineup. I'm SURE Kanye will perform, with his quest to take over all genres and whatnot. I wonder who else will be there... Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver probably because they're popular in the UK. Maybe the Killers, but BFlow said he doesn't want people to get sick of them if they perform in too many festivals. Although, how could he resist a lineup with his idol?
