Eavis: 'We want Neil Young at Glasto'

Emily Eavis has said that she wants Neil Young to headline Glastonbury.

The festival organiser admitted that the Canadian singer-songwriter is one of the few acts left that she wants to play the event.

"We really wanted Neil Young," she told The Sun.

Emily's father Michael commented: "We ask him every year but don’t get anywhere. I don’t think we offer enough money.

"It costs £21 million to do [Glastonbury] and there is no way we can spend a million on a band. It wouldn’t work."

This year's Glastonbury Festival is headlined by Jay-Z, Kings Of Leon and The Verve.
