The news that we have all been waiting for, the first name to be confirmed for Glastonbury 2008, in the Sunday Legend spot will be none other than… Neil Diamond?

The ancient American singer songwriter, famous for hits like “Sweet Caroline” and the insipid ” You don’t bring me flowers” has been confirmed to play on Sunday 29 June.

The annual mud bath will take place from 27 to 29 June this year, with tickets available to the public from April 6.
