Tony Christie To Play Glastonbury 'Legends' Slot

It's announced...

Veteran singer Tony Christie is to perform at this summer's Glastonbury Festival in Somerset.

Christie, famous for the song '(Is This The Way To)  Amarillo', will appear on the Pyramid Stage on Sunday June 28th.

Over recent years, the afternoon slot has featured a number of veteran acts, including James Brown and Neil Diamond.

Christie told the BBC he was “excited” to be taking part in the festival, which he described as “the big one” and “a great honour”.

"I'm going to do some of the new album tracks and I've got to do my old stuff as well," he added.

This year's festival, which runs from June 26th-28th, will feature headline performances from Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Blur.

Other acts scheduled to appear include Fleet Foxes, Lily Allen and Franz Ferdinand.

Tickets have already sold out.
