Filed under: Anglophilia > Music Minute > Jay-Z
None other than Neil Diamond will be this year's surprise performer at the legendary Glastonbury music festival in the U.K. this summer, organizers announced on Monday.
The 67-year-old Sweet Caroline singer will perform on the main stage on the final day of the three-day event, which starts on June 27.
Jay-Z has also been confirmed as a headliner for one of the other nights.
What an interesting mix!

I love this bitch!
fucking dick we don't need him in our country
fucking prick
Ummmmm……yay???
These jews don't quit, even after their expiration date.
7 bitches
I used to to actually LIKE Neil Diamond….Hot August Night was always on my record player in the seventies (yeah shows my age) but now he's just an old fart…my 82 year old mum likes his newer cds….HELP!!!!
I never remember such a rash of OLD people "coming back"–boxers, singers. It is so EMBARRASSING. ENOUGH!!! Have some self-respect, decorum, something!
i saw neil on new years eve a couple of years ago in denver and it was the best show i've ever seen!! he is awesome and no i'm not old!!
Uhm………how can a guest be a surprise when it's been announced all over the media? Just wondering. Also, Neil rocks it like it's 1978.
That is STILL the best concert I've ever been to!!!!! What's the problem?
I've been to his concerts before and Neil rocks! I think it's great he can still trot it out on stage.
And–unlike you, Perez–he's famous for doing something.
This news is vomit. Vomit in my mouth.
Jay-Z. On the pyramid stage at glasto?!?! What on earth….? Why did those rumours of Muse not come to fruition???
Neil Diamond, I can live with… But Jay-Z?! I mean seriously…..WHYYYYYY?!?!!! Vomit. Vomit. Vomit.
I'm going to be living in the Silent disco.
Ewww! Can't stand the guy.
He's one of the most prolific songwriters of our time…and my Dad is a fan, dragged me to his concert (under protest) and I was blown away. This guy is awesome live…
A bad mouth is unamerican in my book you foreigner.Neil Diamond has
class unlike you badmouths.
errr how old are your sources??? BBC trumped you about a fortnight ago!!!!
Also efestivals trumped you by about 2 months!!!!
Where are you UK sources??? Obviously sleeping,
o someone please tell me MIKA will be there again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Surprise performer…organizers announced…" What a world we live in.
Looks like another year at Glasto where I'll be avoiding the Pyramid stage. (If I get tickets). Last years headliners were dire, but this years are a fecking joke. Jay Z will be awful and completely out of place, and I was hoping for Rolf Harris in the Sunday afternoon old git slot!
And here's me thinking that I would go to Glastonbury when I turned 18…
WHY can't they have a line up like last year, that was EPIC! I want Arctic Monkeys and/or Muse, not Neil Diamond and Jay-Z! >=[
COME ON GLASTO ORGANISERS! BETTER PLEASE?!
"Fuck Manilow" is RIGHT! LOL….Love me some Neil Diamond!!!!!!!!!!
I have had a crush on Neil since i was a child. And always will. He is an ICON.
Oh my god, I LOVE Neil Diamond!
I love Neil Diamond…..I won tickets to see him about 14 years ago at Madison Square Garden. I think I was the only person in my high school that actually enjoyed his music. Anyway, I am excited to hear that he is still touring! You kick ass Neil!
He sucked in the 60s. He sucks now.
he looks like bill belichick
35th!
Should bring out all the Yids. Who is next Babs S?
fuck yeah! go neil diamond! he should wear glitter and have lots of fog machines!
I use to like him until the Caroline Kennedy kiddie comment. Weirdo!
I know Neil Diamond's son. nice guy. i had no idea he was neil's son until after knowing him for a while.
BIG Neil is touring the UK this year!! I already have my tickets for Hampden and I CAN'T WAIT!!!
I love him….he IS a legend!!! (and no I'm not ancient, in my twenties!!)
Cracklin Rosie and Forever in Blue Jeans - you just can't beat it!
Yeah!! love him!!
Neil Diamond is awesome. What a songwriter - what a performer! God bless Rick Rubin. F**k Colombia/Sony for what they did to Diamond for more than 2 decades. Diamond is more Springsteen than Manilow!
How lucky can you get? Neil is going overseas and we are not sure if he will do the US this year. Go Neil and Rachel!!!!!!
Neil you are getting better and better. Your music is the best and I will always be your best Fan….Please set dates for the US…..
