Glastonbury Festival adds Bobby Womack

Soul legend Bobby Womack play a headlining slot at West Holts at this summer's Glastonbury Festival.

The American 'Across 110th Street' singer-songwriter will be joined by The Bravest Band (featuring Damon Albarn, and Richard Russell). His Sunday night performance is Womack's only scheduled UK festival appearance this year. Alongside his new material, Glastonbury goers will get the chance to hear a greatest hits set with his full US band.

Last year, Bobby Womack released his first album of original material for nearly two decades. 'The Bravest Man In The Universe' was written and produced by Bobby, along with Damon Albarn and Richard Russell, and was released to rave reviews.
