McCartney promises a ‘few tricks’'

-

SIR Paul McCartney is yet to plan his Glastonbur­y set.

The Beatles legend is set to headline the world-famous music extravagan­za’s Pyramid Stage on Saturday, June 25, and while he’s yet to decide the set list, the Hey Jude hitmaker teased there would be plenty of surprises.

Speaking to Metro Radio, he said: “Yeah, to tell you the truth we don’t know exactly what we’re going to do yet, but we are definitely planning on having a few tricks up our sleeve…”

The Band On The Run rocker also recalled performing on that very stage at Worthy Farm back in 2004, and described the view of the masses in the crowd as a “battle scene”.

He added: “My best memory was that moment we walked out on stage, when we performed there in 2004. The sheer size of the crowd, and the banners and the flags that they all hold up, which reminded me of the Battle of Agincourt.

“The crowds at Glastonbur­y have always reminded me of a medieval battle scene – it looks very heraldic, and to see this iconic scene and particular Glastonbur­y ‘look’ was very exciting.”

McCartney will be 80 when he takes to the stage.

Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Diana Ross will also perform.

Glastonbur­y takes place in between June 22 and 26.
