Jeremy Corbyn To Appear At Glastonbury Festival

Jeremy Corbyn is to join the likes of Adele and Muse by appearing at this year's Glastonbury Festival.

The Labour leader accepted an invitation to speak in the Left Field, where pop and politics are brought together.

The line-up of speakers and groups at the Left Field is being arranged by the singer and activist Billy Bragg.

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell has also been invited to speak.

Union leaders have taken part in debates at Glastonbury in previous years but Mr Corbyn will be the first party leader to appear.

Many people attending the festival will be there on 23 June, the day of the European Union referendum.

However, it is understood Mr Corbyn has avoided a potential diary clash by speaking at the weekend.

The event runs from 22 to 26 June.
