Rihanna is allegedly in talks with Glastonbury festival organisers about filling the headline slot on the final day of the event.
The pop star, who unveiled her first clothing line at London Fashion Week yesterday, is thought to be in talks to play the Pyramid Stage on the last day of the world famous music festival in June.
A source told the Daily Star Sunday: “She is the perfect choice. Beyonce stole the show two years ago and there’s no reason Rihanna can’t do the same.
“She’s got a huge back catalogue and is undoubtedly the biggest female artist around at the moment bar Adele.”
Back in 2011 Rihanna said she would love to perform at the event, and that she’d like the chance to experience the festival first hand.
“I’d love to play Glastonbury. I have heard so many things about what happens there. I love rock music. I love Kings Of Leon and The Prodigy.
“The music is awesome. I like the more traditional rock bands, too: Aerosmith and Bon Jovi. I think I could rock the stage at Glastonbury, no question.”
Performances from Beyonce, and her husband Jay-Z before her, have led to the festival being much more open to booking big-name R&B acts for their main stages.
Rihanna might be the artist to close the festival
The Rolling Stones have been offered £1million to play the festival and are said to be seriously considering it.
Many had hoped to see Fleetwood Mac fill one of the headline slots after they announced their plans to reunite, but the band have now confirmed they will not be visiting the UK until October.
