U2 will be one of the headlining acts at next year's Glastonbury festival.

According to The Sun, the band will take a break from their US tour to play at Worthy Farm on Friday June 25 for the first time in their history.

A source told the paper: "Everyone is over the moon that the deal has been done.

"Michael [Eavis] really wanted a huge name for the 40th anniversary and the fact U2 have never played Glastonbury in their 32-year career only adds to the mystique.

"In fact Eavis has been asking them for a while now and really stepped up the effort this year. This could be an iconic moment."
