After much speculation, it has been confirmed that Beyonce will indeed be performing at this year’s Glastonbury Festival.
Full story after the jump…
The Grammy award winning superstar released a statement today announcing that she will be headlining the last day of the world renown British festival, which takes place between June 22nd-26th. Speaking on her 90 minute set, the 29 year old said:
“This really is the biggest festival in the world and I cannot wait to perform there. Everyone who attends is really appreciative of music and is in such a good mood that entire weekend,” says Beyonce in a statement. “I’m pumped just thinking about that huge audience and soaking up their energy.”
With reliable word informing us that the singer is finalising the recording process of her new LP, an educated guess would see her perform some of that new material at Glastonbury. In any case, this serves as another career milestone in Beyonce’s undeniable quest for iconic status. For, besides husband Jay-Z, very few non-Rock acts have been granted the privilege of headlining the iconic show. Hence, Bouncy continues her streak of breaking barriers and building cultural bridges. Roll on June!

I’ll probably be alone in saying this, but knowing the importance of Glastonbury myself, a POP performer being asked to headline is an honor that I consider to be higher than winning any damn Grammy.
The b**** slays YET AGAIN. I’m so proud of my Honey Bee. FUTURE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE (yes, I called it first)!!!
@ Just Telling It Like It Is:

its a shame kelly didnt release her album………..NOW BEYONCE S ABOUT TO SHAKE THE EARTH………
That’s great news! Lol @ Beyonce’s undeniable quest to acheive iconic status, she’s been there for a while now! It’s great to see a star’s light continuing to shine even brighter! This event sounds like a great honor for Beyonce to be apart of, however she’s so deserving!
*NEW* Check out: Thepagewithroyalkev.b*******.com (where there’s a place for EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING has it’s place).
@Prince&Queen
Why should Rihanna be afraid? LOUD has sold 3 mill in 3 months. Boom!
S&M has climbed up to #9 on iTunes!
🙂 Looks like I’m going to have to change up my holiday plan’s to include Glastonbury, *I got my sleeping bag ready, just need to get my wellingtons ordered and a tent! Who’s with me 🙂
@Just Telling It Like It Is
B**** please ticket already sold out people are fighting to see the queen so STFU
Certainly in light of folks like GAGA, Katy Perry, Britney and Justin Beiber, Beyonce brings something to the current state of music but I am still NOT QUITE READY to use the word iconic in a sentence with her name…..Perhaps 10 years from now, though. She’s a little too deliberately drag-queeny-with-a-voice in presence and stage mannerism.
She is for this generation (which is kinda sad) what Diana, Whitney, Madonna, et al were for others of us.
Listening for the new music, though…
@JJFAN1814 that’s good for Princess Rihanna and i’m happy about that. I consider her a Strong Princess. But Beyonce is a Strong and Powerful Queen hon that’s y the lessers should be very afraid. Rihanna got a solid fanbase so i really dont think she would be afraid. I am a fan of RiRi.
THE QUEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!
LMAFO at trent or who ever did this blog. Um…… Queen B is already iconic and is heading towards legendary so have a seat! Anyway, Yesssssssss (in my Jayz voice ) The Queen is returning to her throne and every b**** in the game better run and hide by summer. Queen B is slaying and slaying the industry. My girl is the first female ever to headline the Gastonbury Music Festival, shes just making history and dont have anything out, dont your fav wish they could. I feel so sorry for these other females in the music industry cause they just dont know like Beystanbish said, Hurricane Bey is coming and they just dont know it! But they will soon in 3 months or so when they ass get destroyed. Im ova here crying tears of joy that the QUEEN is returning to bless us with her breath taking performances thats slays every female in history!
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ALL HAIL THE QUEEN ^_^
F***** love this woman, always kills with her performances
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM THE AMERICAN BRODCAST OF MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT. EVERY FEMALE IN MUSIC THATS MAKE POP, R&B, ROCK, COUNTRY OR ANY KIND OF MUSIC YOU HAVE 3 MONTHS TO RUN AND HIDE BEFORE THE QUEEN OF ALL QUEENS MRS BEYONCE GISELLE KNOWLES COMES BACK AND DESTROY YOU. AGAIN I REPEAT ALL FEMALES IN MUSIC YOU HAVE 3 MONTHS TO VACANT THE STAGE AND MUSIC BECAUSE THE QUEEN OF ALL QUEENS MRS BEYONCE GISELLE KNOWLES IS RETURNING TO HER THRONE IF U DO NOT VACANT AND RUN AND HIDE YOU WILL BE DESTROYED ON SITE! THIS HAS BEED A MESSAGE FROM THE AMERICAN BROADCASTERS OF MUSIC
Lmao @ jjfan1814 trying to start ish. Bitchgoodbye.
@keith STFU AND SIT THE FU*K DOWN! Queen B is already iconic, so im sorry to bust your little bubble and please refrain from putting Queen B in the same sentence with those lesser girls. You have been warned! THE ICONIC BEYONCE KNOWLES -THE LEGENDARY BEYONCE KNOWLES
the is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE FIRST FEMALE ARTIST TO HEADLINE THE QUEEN B******!
DYING…..OMG!!!! LIVE FOR B! So excited for her, this is MAJOR! AND new music this year…whew…my day is complete.
THE QUEEN B IS BACK, B******. THE BEYHIVE WILL BE PICKING THE WIGS SHE SNATCHED OFF THE FLOOR OF THE STAGE WHEN SHE IS DONE.
2 FOR A DOLLAR.
But in all seriousness, I truly can’t believe that the Queen is being granted such an opportunity. They usually only give a headlining concert to rock acts, and to have first Jay and then B enjoy one….
It’s too much.
I really DO stan for the best.
*shakes head in disbelief and returns to newspaper*
OHWEE cant wait
Look! I’m not saying Beyonce is the best artist ever but she is the one in the industry holding it down right now. She is one of the few with talent AND success. And it’s sad that she is, the industry is seriously suffering. Giving alla these girls deals and making them superstars while they can’t even hold a note smh
Well I’m ready for change and I know for sure that I’m not the only one…
Anyway though I will continue to support real talents like Beyonce. So go ahead Bey snatch those wigs and show em how a real entertainer does it. pow
Lol @ JJFAN1814…@Prince&Queen said fans of lesser b****** should be afraid! I’m just glad you realized that she’s a lesser b**** lol. Take a seat please.
New music soon? God, I’m excited!
I send my condolences to all the lesser female artist.
#THATISALL

@Lil Teo i hope ure not tryin 2 say QueenBey is lesser than Rihanna? If u think that then girl u need to slap the hell out of urself. Because obviously im in Bey post and im all about Queen Bey. Strong and Powerful Queens like Bey will always be better than strong Princesses.Queen Bey is better than all ur faves Lil Teo.Queen Bey is the Queen of Queens hon. Dont u 4get that. I might as well call Bey a Goddess!
Madonna & Britney has never performed there. Shakira & lady gaga performed but they wasn’t HEADLINES so try again lol!!!!
YASSSSSSSSSS! So happy and EXCITED for Bey to come back on the scene. It’s been so boring and dead without her. It’s B season!

Ughhhhh I can’t stop commenting on ThE QUEEN she’s COMING she going shake the F*** out the INDUSTRY once she LANDS!! BEAWARE everybody “HIDE YOUR ASSES” #hurricaneBEY #beyondslay2011 #ROUNDIV LESSER B****** be AWARE
@Prince&Queen don’t be a dumb ass! I was saying Rihanna is lesser than Queen Bey! And JJFAN1814 knows this because you made a comment about lesser b****** being scared and he felt the need to say that Rihanna isn’t scared…so in essence he’s admitting to her being a lesser b****. Yall always trying to start some s*** on this site…always!
#RoundIV B******………might as well pack up your shxt and keep it moving.
@Lil Teo oh i thought u didn’t understand what i was saying and thinkin i now realize that Beyonce is a Lesser. My bad. When im in my Beyonce mood i get alil crazy lol.
@BLASIAN
I Wasnt talking about Glastonbury, i was talking about a Rock Festival in General. Rihanna Headlined Rock in Rio. Gaga Headlined Lollapalooza….etc.
Why are you so pressed? All i said was about time Beyonce is invited to perform for a Rock Festival when most of her other Pop elites have done so…
DION-ISH

DION-ISH
