Eavis Promises “Top Surprise” At Glastonbury

Health and Safety-defying, apparently

Emily Eavis has revealed that there’ll be a secret gig by a huge band at this year’s Glastonbury Festival.

"There’s a really top surprise on The Park which will definitely not come out because otherwise we’d have a health and safety issue," Emily Eavis told the BBC. She added: "You can start guessing."

Eavis refused to elabourate: "I don’t think it will ever be announced. It will just happen for those people that happen to be there, hopefully for the people that are fans of the band."
