LONDON- Bruce Springsteen will headline this year's Glastonbury music festival, organizers said on Monday.

The 59-year-old rock star, who recently released his 24th album "Working on a Dream," has already announced a 47-date world tour starting on April 1 in California.

"He's one of the all-time rock legends and I'm confident that this will be one of our best shows ever," said Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis.

Last year's headliner, U.S. hip-hop star Jay-Z, was a hit with fans despite criticism of the choice.

Tickets for this year's festival, which will take place before more than 150,000 people on a dairy farm in southwest England at the end of June, are already sold out.
