Blondie and Dolly Parton have confirmed that they will perform at Glastonbury in June.
Blondie announced their appearance at last night’s NME Awards with Austin, Texas while both Dolly Parton and organiser Emily Eavis have confirmed that the ‘Jolene’ singer will appear at Worthy Farm this year.
Speaking to Metro on the red carpet, Debbie Harry revealed that Blondie will be at the festival, saying: “We just heard today – we’re going to be doing Glastonbury.” They join headliners Arcade Fire, Lily Allen, Warpaint and Staton Warriors on the list of artists due to perform at this year’s festival, which takes place between June 25-29.
Tweeting about her upcoming appearance at Glastonbury, Parton said she will perform on June 29, the Sunday of the festival. Meanwhile, Emily Eavis said that she “couldn’t be happier” with the booking.
