Jeff Lynne's ELO announced for Glastonbury legends slot

As the first name to be announced for this year's Glastonbury Festival, Jeff Lynne's ELO have been confirmed for the legends slot on the Sunday afternoon.

Traditionally placed on the Pyramid Stage at around 5pm, the legends slot has seen the likes of Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie and Shirley Bassey play there in the last few years and will be the first Glastonbury appearance for the current form of ELO, who reunited last year.

See the tweet from Emily Eavis earlier today, confirming the news, below.
