Adam Lambert has responded to rumours that Queen are one of the bands already booked to headline Glastonbury‘s 50th anniversary in 2020.
Last month, Emily Eavis confirmed that two acts had already been booked to headline the festival’s 50th year. Now in an interview with NME, we asked Queen’s touring frontman if the rock legends would be performing at Glastonbury 2020.
“Not that I’m aware of, but thats a way off,” replied Lambert. “I mean we’re trying to just do one year at a time! You know, because we’re pretty much booked for the rest of the year this year, so I don’t know.”
He added: “I mean, I’m sure that if it were the right type of arrangement, I’m sure we would all be really, really honoured to be a part of Glastonbury.”
Speaking to NME about the bookings, Glasto organiser Emily Eavis told NME: “Ideally, we’d have a mix of old and new acts headlining. A bit of both. But, a lot can happen between now and then, and it’s about seeing who comes through and who would be right for us. It kind of depends, we’ve just got a little while, we’re not in any rush, but it’s quite exciting. It’s always good having something in the long term plans as well.”
Other rumoured acts for the slot include Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac and Oasis.
