Glastonbury 2019 just keeps on getting better. This time, the organizers of this famous music festival announced that Australian pop star Kylie Minogue would be a part of the next year’s lineup, playing the prestigious legends-slot.
Minogue is scheduled to perform on Sunday, June 30 in the teatime slot, which is between 5 pm and 7 pm. She will join the likes of Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie and Neil Diamond, who all played the legends slot in previous years.
“We are delighted to announce that Kylie is finally bringing her show to Glastonbury,” said Glastonbury organizers in a statement. “She’ll play the legendary Sunday afternoon slot at next year’s Festival. And we cannot wait.”
Glastonbury 2019 will be the first time Kylie Minogue will play at this iconic festival. The 50-year-old singer supposed to headline the festival 14 years ago but had to cancel her appearance due to treatment for breast cancer.
“I’m so thrilled to announce that I’ll be playing the ‘Legend slot’ on Sunday 30th June at @GlastoFest 2019.” – Minogue wrote on Twitter. “It will be 14 years since I was originally meant to appear there and so much has happened up to now. I can’t wait to see you all there to share this special show.”
