The masterminds behind Glastonbury have announced that the 2010 event will include a spectacular Greatest Hits’ feature, to celebrate forty years of the festival.

BBC 6 Music News has reported that festival organiser Emily Eavis has said that next year’s Glastonbury will feature a special one off event to commemorate.

The plan is to apparently invite an artist from each year in the festivals history to perform at both the Pyramid Stage and smaller stages in 2010.

“It’s our first 40th anniversary next year ” Miss Eavis said. ” we’re talking to lots of bands at the moment about that, and we want to have a band from every year on the Pyramid stage over the weekend.”

The Glastonbury music festival was founded way back in 1970. However, it has not exactly been held each and every year since, having missed a period in the 70s from 1972 until 1978. There were also no events staged in 1988, 1991,2001 or 2006.

That means there will be only 27 artists to represent the forty years of the festival. However, it is still an incredible proposition, to have all of these exciting acts at the main stage. The event will then conclude with a celebration and performance of whats being called Glastonbury’s ‘Greatest Hits’. The ideal way to to mark this birthday.

“I think we’ll try and make a lot of the biggest performances on some of the tinier stages,” Miss Eavis continued.” so we’re going to do something really special for our 40th anniversary.”

The Glastonbury Music Festival 2010 is set to run for five days from Wednesday 23rd until Sunday 27th June.

In the meantime, music fans are hotly anticipating this years event. Due to held at Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset and run for five days from Wednesday 24th until Sunday 28th June 2009 .
