It has been announced that Elton John will headline Glastonbury Festival next summer, playing his last ever UK date of his farewell tour.
In a statement announcing the show, Elton John said: "I couldn’t be more excited to be headlining the Pyramid stage. As the end of my Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour comes into view, there is no more fitting way to say goodbye to my British fans. “They have been beyond brilliant, and have supported me through all the highs and lows of my career … I can’t wait to embrace the spirit of the greatest festival in the world.”
The Glastonbury date will mark John's final UK performance, but his final show on the singer's Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour - which first kicked off in 2018 - will be in Europe in July 2023. The latest announcement from Glastonbury organisers puts to bed rumours that popstar Taylor Swift would be closing the festival.
