Kylie Minogue at Glastonbury 2019: Icon to play Legends slot at festival

Kylie Minogue has finally confirmed she will perform at Glastonbury Festival.

The Australian pop princess, 50, will take to the stage for the Sunday afternoon Legend’s slot, following in the footsteps of Lionel Richie, Barry Gibb and Dolly Parton.

The news was announced on Wednesday morning on the festivals official Twitter account in a post which read: “We are delighted to announce that Kylie is finally bringing her show to Glastonbury.

“She’ll play the legendary Sunday afternoon slot at next year's Festival. And we cannot wait.”

Minogue was scheduled to headline the Worthy Farm event in 2005 but cancelled a month before as she battled breast cancer.

Glastonbury takes place from Wednesday June 26 to Sunday June 30 2019 at Worthy Farm in Somerset.

Minogue is the second act to be confirmed for the festival after Stormzy was revealed last month.

The likes of Paul McCartney, Madonna, ABBA and the Cure are all rumoured to be performing at the festival in 2019.

Tickets for Glastonbury sold out within 32 minutes last month, with many fans missing out. There will be a resale in April, which fans can register for here.
