One of music’s biggest divas could be heading to Worthy Farm this summer with reports that Janet Jackson is set to perform at Glastonbury 2019.

The Rhythm Nation hitmaker is expected to bring all that sass to Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage this June with organisers hoping to book her for the coveted Sunday slot.

It would mark Janet’s first performance at the iconic Somerset festival and insiders claim she’s ‘excited’ to make her mark that famous Pyramid Stage.

A source told The Sun: ‘Janet is relaunching her career in a major way this year and thought this would be the perfect opportunity.

‘She has never performed at Glastonbury but she knows what a massive deal it is. It is looking like she will perform on the Sunday but her exact slot is to be confirmed.’



They added: ‘Organisers are still booking acts and arranging the schedule but she is really excited to be back.’

The full line-up for this year’s Glastonbury is yet to be revealed but Stormzy was previously announced as a headliner for Friday night, while Australian pop icon Kylie Minogue is set to claim the Legends slot on Sunday afternoon.

Over the past couple of years, Janet, 52, took some time out of her career to enjoy being a mother to her son Eissa, who was born in January 2017. However, she’s been enjoying a music revival of late and embarked on a successful tour late last year.

Fans are anxiously awaiting new music from the popstar, who released her last album, Unbreakable, in 2015.

Glastonbury 2019 will be a bittersweet time for Janet as her reported performance will take place just days after the 10th anniversary of the death of her older brother Michael Jackson. The king of pop died on 25 June 2009, coincidentally, when Glasto was taking place that year.

Michael, who was 50 at the time of his death, is currently at the center of controversy due to a documentary, Leaving Neverland, exploring the child molestation allegations against him.

Glastonbury Festival 2019 takes place at Worthy Farm in Somerset from 26 June to 30 June.

A rep for Janet Jackson declined to comment on the reports.
