Jeff Lynne's ELO are the first act to be confirmed for Glastonbury Festival 2016. Expect the main stage crowds to be under a 'Mr. Blue Sky ', enjoying 'Roll Over Beethoven', 'Don't Bring Me Down', 'All Over The World', 'Sweet Talkin' Woman', and many more when they appear in the Sunday legends teatime slot on the Pyramid Stage this summer.

The main Pyramid Stage on Sunday has also previously seen acts like Lionel Richie, Dolly Parton, Don McLean, Willie Nelson, Paul Simon, Johnny Cash, Shirley Bassey, Neil Diamond and Brian Wilson.

Glastonbury Festival organisers have announced, "We are extremely happy to confirm that Jeff Lynn’s ELO will be coming to Glastonbury for the first time this year. The Electric Light Orchestra will follow on from Dolly Parton (2014) and Lionel Richie (2015) in the Sunday teatime slot, on June 26th."

Tickets for this year have sold out. For those still hoping to get tickets, there is good news. There will be a re-sale in Spring, but the number of tickets will, as expected be limited.

The dates for the 2016 Festival will be from Wednesday 22nd to Sunday 26th June. There are no acts confirmed yet for 2016. Expect something like 2,000 performances at over 100 venues including music, cabaret, theatre, circus, a fantastic Kidz area, poetry, green crafts and information, site art, decor, and loads, loads more ... much more than just the music, so make sure you check it all out!
