Foo Fighters will headline Glastonbury 2017.
Foo Fighters
The American rockers - Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel and Pat Smear - announced the news in a video on Glastonbury's Facebook page and founder Michael Eavis confirmed the news at a special concert near the festival venue in Somerset on Friday (24.02.17).
Taking to the stage to introduce the band, he said: "Foo Fighters are the best band in the world right now. They came to Worthy Farm this afternoon to tell me that they're going to headline Glastonbury. Saturday night. June 25th. Be there or be square."
In the Facebook video, Michael and his daughter Emily were seen driving up to the famous Pyramid stage, where the band were sitting with their instruments.
However, Emily informed them that they were four months too early.
Michael said: "This is the world famous Pyramid stage that you're headlining on.
And Emily explained: "I'm really sorry but it's not tonight. Give us four months."
However, they then agreed that the band would play a gig at a venue in Frome, Somerset instead, which was also broadcast live on Facebook.
Foo Fighters were forced to pull out of the 2015 festival after frontman Grohl broke his leg.
Meanwhile, Radiohead were previously confirmed to headline Glastonbury 2017.
The 'Creep' hitmakers - consisting of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Phil Selway and Ed O'Brien -will perform at the music extravaganza on Friday June 23.
It is the indie rock group's third time headlining the famous Pyramid Stage, the last being in 2003 and they made their debut in 1997.
And, in 2011 they stormed the Park Stage with a surprise set.
