Kings of Leon will not be headlining Glastonbury 2017, with the Followill clan making their only UK festival appearance next July, at BST Hyde Park next year.

Pixies and Nathaniel Rateliff will support the band on Thursday 6th July, with the general sale taking place at 9am on Wednesday 30th November.

Kings of Leon had been rumoured to be headlining the festival next year after the group’s drummer, Nathan Followill, spoke about how keen the band were to return to Glastonbury eight years since they last headlined:

“We love Glastonbury. I think that was the first festival we ever played in Europe. Do they still do it where it's on one year, off one year to let the grass grow?”

When Nathan was told that the festival will be on in 2017, but will be taking a break the following year, he said: “OK, then we'll have to get on it in 2017. I'll have to text Mr Eavis.”

All the way from Waco to WE-HO
With a rabbit on a chain
Drove her little slick car to ten bar
With the static on her brain
She's a little burner, burner,
Gonna throw you to the flame
Leave a ticking time bomb,
Time bomb gonna blow us all away

Ohohoho
Take the time to waste a moment
Ohohoho
Never ask to be forgiven

Sexy was her boyfriend, with no kin,
Always running from the law
Every other weekend, weekends
With his back at her claw
He's a live wire, wire,
Shooting sparks in the night
He's a little higher, higher,
With the beat in his sights

Ohohoho
Take the time to waste a moment
Facing where the lines are broken
Ohohoho
Name a price to all this living
Ohohoho
Never ask to be forgiven

Ohohoho
Take the time to waste a moment
Facing where the lines are broken
Ohohoho
Name a price to all this living
Ohohoho
Never ask to be forgiven

The Glastonbury rumour mill is a relentless, all-consuming hype machine that spits out pretty much every major name in music. Lady Gaga. Bruno Mars. Kings of Leon. Everyone else who plays music. They’ve all been rumoured to play the world’s most famous music festival next year. We should know better, but, year after year, it’s difficult to not get swept by the waves of hysteria. Why? Because every person has their dream headliner, and Glastonbury is one of those festivals that could actually make those thoughts, images and sensations that swirl around your head at night come true.

Who is your dream headliner? Let us know over on Twitter.
