Shakin’ Stevens and Gilbert O’Sullivan are amongst the artists revealed to be playing this year’s Glastonbury Festival, after the full main stage line-up for the June event has leaked online.
Welsh rock ‘n’ roller Shakin’ Stevens has been confirmed as a surprising opening act on the main Pyramid Stage on the festival’s second day (June 28). Stevens’ career has spanned four decades and was the UK’s top selling male artist of the 80s, and recently released a new album Now Listen.
Another surprise addition to Glastonbury’s bill is Irish crooner Gilbert O’Sullivan who is most famous for his two early ’70s chart toppers “Clair” and “Get Down”.
The Pyramid Stage this year will also see bands such as The Raconteurs, Editors, Goldfrapp and The Hold Steady join headliners previously announced Kings of Leon, Jay-Z and The Verve.
