Its been confirmed that Beyonce will headline at Glastonbury, closing the 2011 festival on the Sunday night! AMAZING. :heart:

Amazing news! I'd love to go, but I don't really think the rest of the artists will be to my taste, plus if Britney's touring this year/next year, I'd prefer to go to that...

It's all sold out :( Gutted doesn't begin to describe.

Robyn

I'd definitely like to see Beyoncé to see how her thing works at a festival.

 

Katy B

I'm really looking forward to Beyoncé because I was a huge Destiny's Child fan and she is an amazing performer. I can't wait to see the whole field doing the booty shake.

 

Ian Parton, the Go! Team

I'm curious to see Beyoncé because she was clearly groomed from her very early years to be an entertainer. I'm sure she'll kick everyone's ass in terms of spectacle. Her show will be like a Broadway spectacle, designed to blow you away, and I don't think Bono will be able to live with it.

 

Andy Butler, Hercules and Love Affair

I got U2 and Coldplay but would never have even imagined Beyoncé. I'll definitely be checking her out.

 

Allison Pierce, the Pierces

I want to see Beyoncé for the spectacle.

 

Jonathan Higgs, Everything Everything

We will definitely check out Beyoncé, like every one else – believe it or not, Destiny's Child were really influential on us, we took a lot of rhythmic ideas from them.

 

Caitlin Rose

Obviously I want to see Beyoncé, because I've always loved her, she has great pop songs and she knows how to make an album.

 

Anna Calvi

I may not stay to see Coldplay headline: I'd be far more excited if it was Beyoncé on our day.

 

Joe Mount, Metronomy

I bet Beyoncé will be spectacular. It's great Glastonbury can book that kind of artist now: the very best at what she does.

 

Tom Fleming, Wild Beasts

I'm dying to see Beyoncé because she is a real talent who can back it up physically – her singing and dancing are amazing.

 

Dylan Le Blanc

I'll see Beyoncé, because she has a great voice.

 

Oli Steadman, Stornoway

The Park Stage has a great lineup, as it did last year, they seem totally in touch with what's going on. There are so many people I want to see: Fleet Foxes, Wild Beasts, Tame Impala, Low Anthem, Sea of Bees. And Beyoncé, who is such an amazing artist with such strong creative control over her career: it may sound weird for us to say, as a folk band, but in a lot of ways she is a role model for us.

Tinchy Stryder and Chipmunk have told Capital that Beyoncé is likely to have something special planned for her forthcoming Glastonbury performance. Beyoncé is due to close the three day festival on Sunday (June 26th) for what will be her first ever show at the event.

 

"I think she is going to shut the whole place down, she's really going to have something special (planned). I think it's going to be good, as a singer and performer everything is in check and you can tell she's a hard worker", Tinchy said.

 

Chipmunk meanwhile believes Beyoncé's performance will be similar to her recent Billboard Music Awards show which saw her bring an army of dancers onstage. "I think she is still Wonder Woman in the flesh. I watched her performance on the Billboard Awards and I was astounded. If she brings that presence over to the UK it's shutdown season."

My friends are going. Very jealous, I'd love to see her again. ^_^

Make sure you tune in to the Glastonbury coverage on the BBC tonight to catch Beyoncé's show-stopping set. Tweet your thoughts throughout the performance using the hashtag #BeyonceGlasto

From her Facebook! Absolutely buzzing to see it, and a bit gutted I won't be there to see it myself.

Thank you <3

I'm getting really pumped for her performance actually! Hopefully she does my favourites. What time is she expected to finish? Around 11PM?

Oh and here are her iTunes positions less than 2 hours before performance...

 

34. 'Run the World (Girls)' ['Run the World (Girls)' - Single]

205. 'Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)' ['I Am... Sasha Fierce (Deluxe Edition)']

259. 'Telephone' (Lady GaGa & Beyoncé) ['The Fame Monster']

343. 'If I Were A Boy' ['I Am... Sasha Fierce (Deluxe Edition)']

362. 'Halo' ['I Am... Sasha Fierce (Deluxe Edition)']

591. 'Irreplaceable' ['B'Day (Deluxe Edition)']

593. 'Crazy In Love' (featuring. Jay-Z) ['Crazy In Love' - Single]

681. 'Sweet Dreams' ['I Am... Sasha Fierce (Deluxe Edition)']

I hope she does some new songs, particulary 'Best Thing I Never Had' :wub:

What time is she expected to finish? Around 11PM?

About 11:15PM. She's supposed to go on at 9:45PM for 90 minutes.

Are we getting a 15 minute delay then? As I have BBC2 on and it's not started! Grr. :lol:

Also on BBC HD for those who want to see the beauty in her fully glory. :teresa:

Its not 10 yet :lol:. I am not sure, there could be a delay or she might just actually start at 10. Gaga didn't actually start half an hour later than she was meant to at R1BW, so Bee might not actually come out until after 10:00, which would finish around 11:30.

 

Peeing myself with excitement for this now :w00t:

Does anyone know anything about the gig she's doing tomorrow night at Shepherd's Bush?

So. It was pretty good :P
