Beyonce to be Glastonbury headliner

NEW YORK, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Beyonce is set to be a headliner at England's Glastonbury Festival this summer, Columbia Records said.

The five-day music and performing arts festival is expected to draw an audience of 200,000 on Worthy Farm in Pilton in South West England at the end of June.

Beyonce will be the headliner on the last day of the festival, June 26. She will play a 90-minute set on the Pyramid Stage, her record label 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," Beyonce said in a statement Thursday. "I'm pumped just thinking about that huge audience and soaking up their energy."

The BBC said the rest of the lineup for the June 22-26 festival has not been announced.

Tickets to the festival went on sale in October and sold out in about 4 hours, the BBC said.
