Take That To Headline Glastonbury?

They’re also tipped to open the 2012 Olympics...

Robbie Williams has only been back in Take That for mere minutes, but already offers are flooding in for the five-piece – reports state the boyband are in negotiations to headline Glastonbury next year, and they’ve been approached to perform at the opening ceremony in 2012 Olympics.

Take That are planning a stadium tour for next summer and are apparently keen to make space in their schedule for the Glastonbury festival. “There's a lot of logistics to sort out but both sides are desperate to make this happen,” a source told the News of the World.

Early negotiations are for U2 to headline the Friday night, after pulling out of this year’s festival when Bono injured his back, then Take That on Saturday and Radiohead on Sunday.

The guys have also been approached to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games in east London. “At present, Robbie is only on board for a year, but that's to reduce the pressure on the group. The belief is that this will be a permanent move and he will therefore be available for 2012,” a source explained.

“It is a huge honour for the boys and will see them playing to a phenomenally big audience. Everyone is confident they are up to the challenge.” Paul McCartney, the Spice Girls and The Rolling Stones are also being lined up to perform at the opening ceremony, according to reports.
