Bruce Springsteen To Headline Pyramid Stage At Glastonbury

There is news that `The Boss`Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band, are set to be confirmed for Glastonbury this summer.

It will mark their debut appearance at the festival.

“I’m so pleased that Bruce Springsteen has agreed to come to Worthy Farm for the first time “ said organizer Michael Eavis, whom had apparently attended Springsteen’s 2008 gig in Cardiff. That was reportedly when they first discussed the possibility of the legendary artist coming to Glastonbury.

“He’s one of the all-time rock legends. I’m confident that this will be one of our best shows ever.”

Springsteen, known for his blue collar American rock, has sold in excess of 120 million records. It is thought that he will headline the Pyramid Stage on the Saturday, having just rocked the half time show of the Superbowl. `The Boss` is expected to treat fans to renditions of his classic hits like “I`m On Fire”, ‘Born in the USA’, and ‘Dancin in the Dark’. Alongside brand new material.

Springsteen won an Academy Award for writing the theme song of the acclaimed Tom Hanks film `Philadelphia`. Then, in 2009, he received a Golden Globe for ‘The Wrestler’ with Mickey Rourke.
