December 3rd 2024.
There are some exciting rumors swirling about a possible Glastonbury return for the iconic Neil Young. It has been a whopping 16 years since he graced the Pyramid Stage in the 70s, but it seems like his return is finally in the cards.
The farm is abuzz with speculation, from suspicions about Kings of Leon's tour schedule to Nile Rogers' accidental confirmation. So far, the only confirmed act for Glastonbury 2025 is Sir Rod Stewart, who will be taking the coveted Legends slot on Sunday afternoon.
But fear not, dear festival-goers, because there are still three headline spots up for grabs and it looks like organizers are planning to go out with a bang before the next fallow year. An insider has revealed that Neil, now 79 years old, and his band The Chrome Hearts are working on firming up plans for next year, and Glastonbury is definitely in the mix.
It's been a while since the Heart Of Gold hitmaker graced the Pyramid Stage, with his last performance being in 2009 as the Friday night closing act. So, the possibility of him returning to the farm is definitely an exciting prospect.
According to a source, Neil is eager to play a few big shows in Europe and his team is working hard to secure him a spot on the line-up. With Sir Rod Stewart already confirmed, the addition of Neil would bring two huge legends to the stage. And that's not all, as there are also rumors of Stevie Wonder and The 1975 being in the mix for this year's line-up.
It seems like Glastonbury is going back to its rock roots, and if they can secure Neil, it would be a fantastic addition to the already impressive line-up. However, given Neil's health concerns, it's likely that he will only be performing at open-air concerts rather than indoor shows as he reworks his European tour plans.
In June, while on tour with Crazy Horse, the band had to cancel a significant portion of their US leg due to two members falling ill. So, a return to Glastonbury would be a perfect opportunity for the rocker, especially since his last visit to Worthy Farm was somewhat overshadowed by the tragic death of Michael Jackson.
Speaking of memorable Glastonbury moments, who could forget the incredible line-up that year? Lady Gaga, Florence and the Machine, Bon Iver, Lily Allen, Tom Jones, and Nick Cave all took to various stages. But the real showstoppers were Bruce Springsteen, who headlined on Saturday, and Blur, who closed out the festival on Sunday - a particularly significant year for them as their rivals Oasis split just two months later.
As always, Glastonbury organizers are keeping any headliner announcements under wraps until spring, with another chance for fans to snag tickets in April.
