Sir Paul McCartney has just dropped a massive hint that he is among next year’s Glastonbury headliners.
In a less-than-subtle
Instagram post, the former Beatles singer shared photos of composer Philip Glass, actress Emma Stone and musician Chuck Berry, leading many of his fans to suspect he was alluding to next year’s festival (Glass, Stone, Berry – get it?).

Earlier this year, he told Radio 2: “People are saying that it will be good if I did [Glastonbury again], so I’m starting to think about whether I can or whether it would be a good thing … It’s starting to become some remote kind of possibility.”So far, none of next year’s headliners have been announced, although Diana Ross has confirmed she’ll be performing in this year’s “Legends” slot, following Kylie Minogue’s critically-lauded Glastonbury set over the summer.
Festival organiser Emily Eavis previously revealed that of the three Pyramid Stage headliners taking to the stage next year, two of them have never performed at the festival before, later pledging to make the line-up “as close to” a 50/50 gender split as possible.
Sir Paul’s Instagram teaser comes almost exactly a year after Stormzy was revealed to be the first of this year’s headliners, in posters put in the windows of Oxfam shops around the country.
The grime star won huge praise for his Glastonbury set, with The Killers and The Cure filling the remaining two headlining slots.READ MORE...
