Big news.
This just in: Paul McCartney will play Glastonbury 2020.

Having last headlined the festival back in 2004, he’s set to make his grand return 15 years later. About time says you.

A true icon for a truly iconic festival.
Other favourites tipped for performances at Glastonbury 2020 include Taylor Swift, Madonna and Fleetwood Mac. What do you reckon?
