R&B star Beyonce expressed her excitement at the prospect of headlining Glastonbury Festival this summer, saying that she was ‘pumped’ for the performance.
Despite no official announcements from festival organiser Michael Eavis, the singer confirmed earlier this week that she would be performing at the festival. Beyonce is yet to confirm that she will be one of the evening’s headliners, though it is widely believed that it is the case.
Speaking to Billboard about the booking, she said: "This really is the biggest festival in the world and I cannot wait to perform there. Everyone who attends is really appreciative of music and is in such a good mood that entire weekend."
She added: "I'm pumped just thinking about that huge audience and soaking up their energy."
Beyonce attended the Somerset festival in 2008, when her husband Jay-Z broke tradition by being the first major hip-hop headline that the Festival had seen. Coldplay have been confirmed as a second headliner for this year’s event, with U2 widely rumoured to be booked as the third and final headliners.
Glastonbury Festival 2011 will take place on June 24th-26th at Worthy Farm, Somerset, with the site opening on June 22nd. The final line-up is expected to be confirmed after the sale of a second ticket batch in the spring.
