The Sun's Dan Wooton has revealed, (here), he believes that Coldplay will close next year's Glastonbury Festival appearing on the Pyramid Stage on the final day.

If so they will make history in the process, making a record fourth appearance after previously topping the bill in 2002, 2005 and 2011, and before that making appearances in 1999, and 2000.

The Sun reports that a source close to the band said, "Michael likes getting things sorted as early as possible and having a solid, reliable Sunday headline act to send people home happy is a massive part of the booking process. Coldplay are Glastonbury veterans and will have no problem filling a two-hour set that punters will love."

They also suggest Foo Fighters, and Adele will join them at the top of the bill.

They also say that the next year is the last before a fallow year, that is NOT the case Glastonbury Festival organisers do say on the official website that it's to go ahead in 2017, with 2018 being the fallow year.

Glastonbury Festival will take place on 2,000 acres around a farm in Pilton, Somerset over five full days from Wednesday 23rd until Sunday 27th June 2016. As ever, entry includes a free programme. Once again, the Festival will be raising more than £2 million in funds for Oxfam, Wateraid, Greenpeace and a host of local charities and causes.
