MTV Music Award winner Janelle Monae played the festival in 2015, with Eavis calling her previous performance incredible. After the success of her critically acclaimed 2018 album ‘Dirty Computer’ Monae will make up a huge appearance for the festival.

Grime icon Stormzy has also been revealed as the first artist confirmed for the main stage Pyramid headliner on Friday (June 28), to mixed reviews from festival goers.

It has also been reported that Kylie Minogue has confirmed she will appear on the Sunday (June 30) playing on the Pyramid Stage during the teatime slot, that has previously been host to other legendary artists such as Neil Diamond, Lionel Richie and Dolly Parton.

Kylie took to twitter confirming her first gig at Glastonbury, after treatment for breast cancer forced her to cancel a headlining appearance some 14 years previously.

Kylie wrote: “I’m so thrilled to announce that i’ll be playing the ‘Legend slot’ on Sunday 30th June @Glasto2019. 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”.

Eavis also discussed with Lauren Laverne the changes and developments that Aradia are making on the site. There is to be a completely new area, and completely new design. Bloc 9 are expanding down into the South East corner with a ‘mind blowing’ new installation. The Park will dos have something new appearing in it.

Other acts rumoured to be playing Glastonbury 2019 include Lana Del Rey, Paul McCartney, The Cure and Arctic Monkeys. The pop group The Spice Girls who are reforming for a string of stadium shows this summer, are also according to Mel B in talks with festival organisers.

Monae’s third album gained massive acclaim upon its release, and she has since spoken candidly on the influence of her close friend and mentor Prince had on the project. The release of the album was initially delayed following the death of the iconic purple singer in 2016.

“There’s only one Prince and there will never be another. I had the opportunity to be inspired by Prince like the rest of the world growing up. In fact, I used to be terrified of Prince. I could not watch his videos. I had a dream that he chased me in a purple suit.” She explained to NME.

The album itself drops on Friday April 27, and will be Monae’s first project since 2013’s The Electric Lady. The singer recently explained the the five year wait between albums was greatly influenced by the death of her close friend Prince in 2016.

“This was the person that I would literally call and talk to about sounds or: ‘How should I say this? Is this saying too much?’ I just never could imagine a time where I couldn’t pick up the phone or email him, and he’d contact me right back and we’d talk about all these things that I was unsure of” Monae said of the Purple One.
