London, Feb 18 (PTI) Coldplay have confirmed they are headlining the closing night of Britain's Glastonbury Festival in June.
The "Paradise" singers, who were hot favourites for a headline slot, have announced their set by posting a picture on Twitter of the metal structure of the iconic Pyramid stage in a field filled with sheep.
In the snap, a wooden post features the artwork for Coldplay's A Head Full of Dreams Tour and the date "Sunday, June 26", the last night of the festival, which runs between June 24 and 26.
The announcement on the band's official website reads, "Coldplay today became the first headline act to be confirmed for Glastonbury Festival 2016. They will top the Pyramid Stage bill on Sunday, June 26th.
"The band will become the first artists to headline Glastonbury on four occasions, following previous Pyramid Stage headline appearances in 2002, 2005 and 2011... The Glastonbury performance will be Coldplay's only festival show of this year's A Head Full Of Dreams Tour.
