The New Yorker has been confirmed by organiser Michael Eavis who said he wanted to make a break with tradition, putting on something totally different:
“He will appeal to the young people and under-25s for sure, so that’s a big pull for them. It’s not like the traditional one we do, like Radiohead, Coldplay and Muse and Oasis.”
Tickets go on sale on April 6th and fans must register to be in with a chance of getting one, due to the festival’s anti-touting measures.
