Glastonbury Organisers Plan More Dizzee Rascal for 40th Bash

Dizzee Rascal is set to play this year's 40th anniversary Glastonbury Festival, returning to the event after an iconic Pyramid Stage performance last year, according to event co-organiser Emily Eavis.

The British rapper is not officially confirmed to play yet, but Eavis told BBC 6 Music on Monday (Jan. 4), "We've gotta have Dizzee, I think that's a given."

U2 are the only headliner so far confirmed for the three day event (Jun. 23-27), and guitarist the Edge said this weekend that they will definitely leave their mark, yet Eavis is imminently due to announce the second, and "We are working on it full time and we're trying to get our third headliner at the moment which is quite exciting."

As for who the other headliners might be, the rumours as to whether Bob Dylan or the Rolling Stones will appear, remain with Emily. She did, however, say: "A lot of bands really want to play but because we've only got three nights to headline, I think a lot of people are going to be doing secret sets. There will be a lot of surprises, more than we've ever had.

But Green Day fans hoping for an appearance by the band will be disappointed -- Eavis has specifically stated that they will not be appearing.
