Beyonce has been confirmed as a headliner at Glastonbury 2011, which is the largest open-air music and performing arts festival in the world and takes place June 22-26 in Somerset, England.
The dynamic diva — who’s up for two GRAMMYs this year — issued a statement expressing her excitement:
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.
I’m pumped just thinking about that huge audience and soaking up their energy.
No other artists have been announced yet for this year’s festival, which is already sold out and expected to have over 200,000 people in attendance.
Dawn Richard and Diddy Dirty Money needs to perform there with Beyonce

@@@@@
Do you even know what Glastonbury is?
It’s a rock/indie festival.
I don’t think most people will know who diddy dirty money is!
That would be a perfect time for bey to release the album… 200,ooo ppl is huge… #queenbeyisback!
WTF!!!!! Her and her pet camel are disgracing real music!!! Leave Glastonbury for ARTIST ONLY!!!!!! You know people who write,create and play there own MUSIC!!!! Beyonce on the same stage as muse!?!?!? What she gonna sing put a bloody ring on it??????? Those are real music fans and should boo her and her pet if he decides to go on again.
Bit€h hush. The only pet I see hEre is you.
THE ORGANIZER OF THE EVENT HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET BEYONCE FOR YEARS! THEY KNOW REAL MUSIC AND IT DOESN’T GET REALER THAN THE QUEEN. SO EAT A DICK WHILE SHE TEARS IT DOWN!!!
I’m sorry do organizers play real music?
@DWIGHT I’m sorry, who made you the Ultimate Decider of what “real” music is? I guess all music is run by your ears first before it can get its “music” label?
Damn! To be as honest as possible that statement shut me the hell up! You are totally right about the ears being the first and final judge. Kudos! Looks as I’ve been bested! Well enjoy! I’ll be back
Go Nicki Minaj! I can see her added.

LOVE BEY, GO DO YOUR THING MA.
CONCRETE LOOP THIS IS NOT JUST SOME RANDOM NEWS, THIS IS HISTORICAL, BEYONCE IS THE FIRST POP & R&B ACT TO HEADLINE THE Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts AND OVERALL THE FIRST WOMAN EVER TO HEADLINE!!! THERE ARE ONLY THREE BLACK MUSICIANS WHO HEADLINED IN THE 41 YEARS OF HISTORY OF THIS FESTIVAL, JAY-Z IN 2008, STEVIE WONDER IN 2010 & IN JUNE 2011, BEYONCE. AND JAY-Z WAS THE FIRST BLACK ACT TO HEADLINE AND ONLY HIP HOP ARTIST EVER TO DO IT. HE OPENNED THE DOOR FOR HIP HOP. BEYONCE IS OPENNING THE DOOR FOR POP & R&B. CONFIRMED ARTISTS THIS YEAR ARE U2 AND COLDPLAY.
EXACTLY!!! SHE IS THE FIRST FEMALE EVER IN THEIR HISTORY AND CONCRETE DARE NOT PUT THAT IN LIGHTS?!!!
tell that “artist” and i use that word as loose as possible to actually sing a song she she wrote not stole or was written for 10 other people as well.
uhhhhh ever heard of corrine bailey rae she didnt headline but shes a r&b female artist. and others have done it years before 2008 they are UK ARTIST THOUGH and UK is KILLING US r&b
Yeah u guys are making it out like she’s kicking down doors. I’ll give u the headline thing however that doesn’t mean she gets to headline pyramid stage. Corrine,sister sledge and others have all headlined there perspective stages but pyramid is top billing. As far as hip ho acts go jay z was pyramid but hip hop has been there for years. And r&b like James brown, vv brown etc. And black acts like santogold etc have been playing there years before the carters. So yeah if she gets pyramid I’ll give it to her even though she’s not a real artist.
actually Fela played Glastonbury twice in 1984 and 1989.
Beyonce is the first black female of her kind and that is a big thing. They LOVED Jay and showed him a lot of love throughout and she’ll be an even bigger get for them.
This is an entirely different crowd for her but i’m confident her amazing stage presence will kill!
How? She’s had a sold out International Tour and not just with this last one, each of her tours she touches down in places she hasn’t (and of course the ones she has she’s in demand for and has to go back). So who’s going to be there that she hasn’t rocked already? She had Muslim Women in their full garb rocking out in one country. If they knew Jay’s songs I’m sure they know hers.
And I agree with the 2nd half of your statement.
Because this is a indie rock crowd. yeah they have had pop people before but these are not your usual gaga etc people thats why there were boos when jay z was there
I didn’t hear any boos for Jay. Heard cheers and his lyrics being recited. Beyonce is going to kill this because she’s the best live female entertainer today.
Go Bey, I wish I could go!
Dang these some lucky folks and are in for an experience like Glastonbury has never had. I’m so sad and wish I were going
(
I’m pumped just thinking about that huge audience and soaking up their energy……….um sounds something a witch would say…
Good for Bey. She’ll give a great show.
Beyonce deserves to be there
Say all you want but she’s breaking barriers
Stay mad cause your favorites are still trying to sell out shows with just 1000 people lmao
