Michael Eavis has made the rather bold (and hopefully true) statement that Led Zeppelin will reform and will headline Glastonbury in the future.
The head of the UK's biggest festival has revealed that he has requested that Robert Plant and his bandmates head the bill at Worthy Farm numerous times. However they have repeatedly refused to give in to his demands. Yet despite this he has said he believes they will be back together "one day" in order to headline before he dies.
Led Zeppelin's last gig was back in 2007, but Eavis reiterated he was "sure" they would get back together. Speaking to Ireland's AM, he said simply: "That will happen one day. I'm sure of it. They will do it."

Eavis also mentioned that there is one band that he would never ever book for the festival again. Ever the gent however he failed to mention who it was, saying instead: "They aren't famous any more... they fell out."
Meanwhile Glastonbury festival has announced a number of huge names for this summer's event - including Sunday night headliners Kasabian, Jack White, Elbow and many more. The festival takes place on 25 - 29 June.
Ticket resales begin later this month. The resale dates any reserved tickets for Glastonbury Festival that have either been cancelled, refunded or not paid for will go into resales on two separate days - with the resale for ticket and coach packages taking place from 7pm on Thursday 24 April, before general admission tickets go back on sale from 9am on Sunday 27 April.
