Will Macca headline Glastonbury 2020?

In an interview with BBC Radio 2, Paul McCartney has hinted he could perform at the Glastonbury Festival next year. The famous Somerset festival will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2020 and many are expecting the best lineup ever. The former Beatle was commenting on rumors, starting earlier this year when Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis told the BBC that Sir Paul might return, "hopefully for the 50th".

Speaking to Zoe Ball on her BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Paul said: 

People are saying that it will be good if I did it, so I’m starting to think about whether I can or whether it would be a good thing. My kids are saying ‘Dad, we’ve got to talk about Glastonbury’ and I think I know what they mean.” 

We played there quite a long time ago so maybe it is time to go back. I don’t know. I’d have to put a few things in place – it’s starting to become some remote kind of possibility. It’s definitely not fixed yet but people are starting to talk about it.”

McCartney played the Pyramid Stage once before, in 2004. It became a legendary performance for which he received an NME Award for 2004s Music Event of the Year.
