What's All This Who-Hah About The Who Headlining Glastonbury Festival?
The legendary rockers - along with Paul Weller - will join Foo Fighters and Kanye West at the Worthy Farm bash…
After months of speculation, Glastonbury Festival organisers have revealed that the final headliners for this year’s festival will be *drum roll* The Who.
The band will close the Pyramid Stage on Sunday night (June 28) as part of their 50th Anniversary tour, but with acts including Oasis, Coldplay and Blur previously rumoured to play the Worthy Farm bash, it seems the recent announcement wasn't what everyone was hoping for.
Following the news, frontman Roger Daltrey praised the festival and assured fans that the band will be on top form, stating: “It’s great to be ending this part of a 50 year career at the most prestigious and respected music festival in the world. We'll do our best to close this years event with a bang, unless of course the fireworks get wet!”
Daltrey and Pete Townshend, who last played the festival eight years ago, will be joined by Foo Fighters and Kanye West - who has also come under heavy criticism from revelers.
Supporting the legendary Brit outfit will be special guest and fellow rocker Paul Weller, but it appears a supporting slot from 'The Modfather' hasn't softened the blow for many fans who have taken to Twitter to voice their frustration.
Here are just some of the reactions from displeased fans:

Who are you? Who, who, who, who?
Who are you? Who, who, who, who?
Who are you? Who, who, who, who?
I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"
I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair
Well, who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I took the tube back out of town
Back to the rollin' pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of rin tin tin
I stretched back and I hiccupped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the tin pan
God, there's got to be another way
Well, who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Come on, tell me, who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Ah, who the fuck are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Who are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa
Who are you? Who, who, who, who?
Who are you? Who, who, who, who?
Who are you? Who, who, who, who?
Who are you? Who, who, who, who?
I really wanna know
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Come on, tell me, who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees
I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still receive your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?
Well, who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Come on, tell me, who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Oh I really wanna know
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, tell me, who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Come on, come on who?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Ah who the fuck are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Oh tell me, who are you?
(Who are you?)
I really wanna know
I really wanna know
Come on tell me, who are you, you, you, you?
Who are you?
