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,
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds and Elvis Costello, with chart acts such as
Professor Green and Dizzee Rascal also appearing.
Resales
awaited
Surprises among the 190 acts include country star
Kenny Rogers, who is among the figures playing the main Pyramid Stage.
Also appearing on the Pyramid will be Rita Ora, Jake
Bugg, Rufus Wainwright and festival veteran Billy Bragg.
Names on the Other Stage include Portishead - almost
20 years after they released their debut album Dummy - along with Smashing
Pumpkins, Mercury Prize-winners Alt-J and John Lydon's band PiL. The XX, The
Lumineers, Alabama Shakes and Foals are included on the bill.
Elsewhere on the huge site in Somerset will be
performances by 1970s disco pioneers Chic, Tom Tom Club, rap stalwarts Public
Enemy, Dinosaur Jr, The Horrors and Johnny Marr.
This year's Glastonbury is already a sell-out but
there will be some resales next month.
