Jeff Lynne's ELO To Play Glasto 'Legends' Slot

Jeff Lynne's ELO will play in the 'legends' slot at Glastonbury Festival this summer.

The news was confirmed by organiser Emily Eavis on Twitter who wrote: "Yes! ELO are playing this year's Glastonbury Sunday teatime slot. Can't wait!"

The group will follow in the footsteps of Dolly Parton, Shirley Bassey and most recently, Lionel Richie.

It is one of the most popular slots in the four-day event at Worthy Farm in Somerset and typically draws one of the biggest crowds.

Previously called ELO (Electronic Light Orchestra), the group had 20 UK Top 20 singles from 1972 to 1986 and sold over 50 million records worldwide.

Lynne retired the group in 1986 and then created a new line-up from 2001 when the album Zoom was released.

Alone In The Universe is the band's most recent album which was released on 13 November, 2015.

Glastonbury will take place from 22-26 June and no other acts have been announced yet.
