JEREMY Corbyn will appear at this year’s Glastonbury Festival after accepting Billy Bragg’s invitation to speak at this year’s event.
The Labour leader will speak at the Left Field stage on behalf of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
Announcing the news via the Glastonbury website, Bragg wrote: “The election of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader has galvanised a new generation of activists and this year at Left Field and we aim to give them a platform to discuss issues around social justice, the economy, gender and the possibilities for genuine change under a Corbyn government.”
A spokesman for Mr Corbyn commented: “Jeremy has long been a fan of Glastonbury, and is looking forward to attending as a guest of the CND and the festival organisers.”
This year’s Glastonbury Festival will feature headliners Coldplay, Muse and Adele and takes place over 22nd-26th June 2016.
