Michael Eavis has said that the "biggest band in the world" have contacted him about performing at this year's Glastonbury Festival, though he wouldn't confirm who exactly that is, or whether he had, in fact, booked them. Though he did confirm he wasn't talking about U2 or Coldplay. He also told BBC 6Music that "most of the line-up's done now" for this year's festival, though wasn't overly willing to reveal who is on the bill, adding "you won't know until after 1 April".
However, the Eavis family have confirmed both Bjork and the Arctic Monkeys will be on the line up. The Monkeys will headline the Pyramid Stage on one of the days of the festival which should be pretty damn daunting, it being their first ever Glasto experience (they being in the main unknown last time there was a Glastonbury Festival). On those two acts, Emily Eavis told the Beeb: "We're absolutely thrilled to be able to put Bjork and the Arctic Monkeys on because both are firm favourites in our household. The Arctic Monkeys have never done it so this will be their first year and Bjork has done the festival a few times now and is absolutely fantastic".
While those are the only two acts formally confirmed, rumours continue to circulate about who else will be on the Glasto bill. Meanwhile The Who's Pete Townshend has indicated to Xfm that negotiations are ongoing for them to play. He told the radio station: "I don't know if we're allowed to say. But let me put it this way, I think they want us to do it, and we want to do it. So we shall see. I think it's about whether or not they'll give me space to park my tent".
