There’s nothing like a Glastonbury rumour – and now the Internet’s interest has been piqued with a cryptic line-up clue from former Beatles frontman Paul McCartney.

Paul McCartney has confirmed he will be performing a headline slot at Glastonbury 2020. The Beatles star will be heading to Worthy Farm, sending fans into a frenzy. Paul, 77, shared an image of American composer Philip Glass, actress Emma Stone and rock legend Chuck Berry. Dizzee Rascal believes he should headline Glastonbury. The 'Bonkers' hitmaker was supposed to perform at the music extravaganza this year but the festival was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, and when it returns in 2021, the rapper believes he ought to have topped the bill because his appearances have been so popular in the past.

Paul McCartney took to Twitter to tease an upcoming gig today.

Pretty big as they go: he was plugging his now-officially-announced headline appearance at Glastonbury next summer (2020).

And he did it in an ingenious way.

McCartney tweeted a composite image of composer Philip Glass, actor Emma Stone and singer Chuck Berry, and fans speculated like wildfire (“This new Ben & Jerry’s flavour sounds awful”, one witty Tweeter quipped).

They didn’t have to speculate for long, though. Look at the surnames.

Glass. Stone. Berry.

Yep. McCartney used one of the greatest living composers to help tell the world he’ll be headlining Glastonbury 2020.

*Minimal* (see what we did there?) effort, maximum effect, we reckon.

Well played Macca. Here’s what Twitter had to say:

This new Ben & Jerry’s flavour sounds awful.

People in glass houses shouldn't chuck stones.

Oh Paul, you should know better than to pronounce it like that. Fixed. pic.twitter.com/DDPDWUZWXs

Kasabian want to headline Glastonbury in 2013.

The 'Days are Forgotten' rockers' ultimate goal would be to headline the festival - one of the biggest in Europe, held in Southern England - when it returns after taking a year break in 2012.

Singer Tom Meighan told the Daily Star newspaper: 'It would have been brilliant to play Glastonbury but all we need is a phone call from [organiser] Michael Eavis and we'll be there for 2013.

Guitarist Sergio Pizzorno added: 'One thing I really want to do before all this ends is to headline Glastonbury as we've always had an incredible time playing there. Hopefully it'll happen.

'The one thing you need to pull off a good Glastonbury headline show is f***ing good tunes and we've got enough of them to do that.'

Kasabian- who have just released their fourth album 'Velociraptor!' - have a long history performing at Glastonbury, playing the main stage in 2007 and 2009, and the second stage in 2004 and 2005.

Tom also recently said the band don't want to play as a support act at other band's show's anymore, after performing for an unresponsive U2 crowd on their 260 Degree tour last year.

He said: 'I didn't take in anything supporting them, the gigs were horrible, worst ever. U2 fans are cardboard cut-outs. I didn't learn anything because that's just a f***ing different level.'
