The
Rolling Stones have been named as one of the three headline acts for the
Glastonbury Festival 2013.
It will
be the first time the Rolling Stones have played at the festival at Worthy
Farm, Somerset, which will draw about 135,000 people.
The
other headline acts at the festival, taking place on the final weekend of June,
are Mumford and Sons and the Arctic Monkeys.
The
Stones will be performing on the Saturday night - the penultimate night. Mick
Jagger tweeted: "Can't wait to play Glastonbury. I have my wellies and my
yurt!"
Glastonbury
was not held last year because of the Olympics and to allow the farmland to
recover from the previous festival.
The full
line-up, announced on the official website includes Primal Scream and Elvis
Costello. Also
appearing on the Pyramid stage is Jake Bugg and festival veteran Billy Bragg.
This
year's Glastonbury is already a sell-out but there will be some re-sales next
month.
