In an interview with Lauren Laverne on 6Music, Emily Eavis strongly hinted that Dizzee Rascal and Bodger & Badger will be performing at Glastonbury this year. When asked about Dizzee, she said “We’ve gotta have Dizzee, I think that’s a given.”.
Laverne also asked Eavis about other acts who are rumoured to be playing, though she declined to comment except for Green Day who she said will not be attending this year.
“A lot of bands really want to play but because we’ve only got three nights to headline, I think a lot of people are going to be doing secret sets. There will be a lot of surprises, more than we’ve ever had.
“It’s really interesting booking it because a lot of bands are saying, ‘We really want to do it but how about we open the Pyramid Stage rather than close it?’ And it’s like, ‘That’s a good idea’. There’s quite a lot of stuff going around, so that’s exciting,” she said.
You can listen to the full interview on BBC iPlayer until 1PM 11th Jan here (starts 42:10)
