MICHAEL EAVIS promised something special for Glastonbury's 40th birthday next year - and boy has he delivered.
U2 will headline on Friday night - the first time the Irish rockers have ever played the festival.
It will be a career highlight for both Glasto founder Michael and U2 frontman BONO, who have been circling each other making loving noises for quite a while now.
A source said: "Everyone is over the moon that the deal has been done.
"Michael really wanted a huge name for the 40th anniversary and the fact U2 have never played Glastonbury in their 32-year career only adds to the mystique.
"In fact Eavis has been asking them for a while now and really stepped up the effort this year. This could be an iconic moment."
U2 cunningly left a gap in their US tour schedule for the gig, which will take place on Friday, June 25.
Earlier this year Bono said of Glasto: "I know lots of people want us to play.
"It's something we're working up our whole life to do. We really, really want to do this."
With U2 in the bag and more big names to follow, this could end up being the best Glasto in an illustrious 40-year history.
