The Who Rumored to Be Final Glastonbury 2015 Headliner

Glastonbury's 2015 lineup hasn't been fully revealed yet, leading many to speculate on what act will close out the music festival's final night, and British daily The Sun reports that its sources indicate The Who will be the final act. The festival has yet to comment on the situation but it seems fitting that one of the great live acts of all time will close out Glastonbury in its homeland as part of its final (and 50th anniversary) major tour.

"The Who booking has been kept quiet because the band are also playing a Hyde Park gig for the British Summer Time festival so the announcement will be made in a few weeks," reported the unnamed source cited by the paper. "There'll also be support from an artist like Paul Weller or Noel Gallagher. It will be a dream night for rock fans."

We don't need to explain to you that the lineup is far from set. The Sun is a London tabloid—which isn't to say it's completely unreliable—but it can also get away with using unnamed sources. Not to mention there's the huge logistical issue of the band being scheduled to perform a show in Paris on June 28, the final night of the festival. The source claims it will work to reschedule the show in France but again, nothing's for certain.

Michael Eavis, the main festival organizer, has said that the final act will be revealed on June 1, so those with tickets will have to deal with the suspense until then. He did also give a statement to back up The Who claims, suggesting that the final headliner will be British.

So far two of the headliners have been announced: Kanye West and the Foo Fighters. A huge number of British music fans (although not necessarily Glasto ticket-holders) made a stink when the rapper was announced among the headliners, and one would like to think they'll be pacified by more straightforward rockers such as the Foo and Who holding down the festival's other nights.
