Westonbirt gig suggests Blondie will play Glastonbury

Pop legends Blondie are set to play a gig at Westonbirt Arboretum, just a week before the Glastonbury Festival.

Debbie Harry will lead the band as part of the Forestry Commission's Live Music series of events, which sees bands perform in beautiful woodland locations around the country.

The band plays the arboretum, near Tetbury, on Sunday, June 20.

Although Blondie have not officially been announced for Glastonbury, fans will hope that the close location and date of the gig could mean they will be on the 2010 bill.

The band, whose hits include Hanging On The Telephone and The Tide Is High, are to release their first album in six years this spring.

Tickets for the Westonbirt show are £33 plus booking fee, and go on sale at 9am on Friday.

They can be bought at the box office on 01842 814612 or online at www.forestry.gov.uk/music.
