Well, it was such a poorly kept secret that even we knew about it, but the cat is now officially out of the bag: Bruce Springsteen is one of the Glastonbury headliners. The fact that he'd 'coincidentally' scheduled a huge gig at Hyde Park in June has obviously led to the official confirmation that The Boss will close the Saturday night.

Said Michael Eavis: "I'm so pleased that Bruce Springsteen has agreed to come to Worthy Farm for the first time. He's one of the all-time rock legends and I'm confident that this will be one of our best shows ever. He's also a Barack Obama supporter, which makes two headliners in a row who've backed the new President."

Emily Eavis got her word in, too: "I'm knocked out that we've managed to get Bruce to play. It's the icing on the cake of this year's bill, which I'm sure will take everyone's breath away when we announce the full details."

We, like all right minded people, will await Noel Gallagher's blessing before deciding on whether this is good news or not. Equally secretive are the other headliners. Our money's on Blur and Neil Young. Remember where you heard it 73rd..
