For those lucky enough to score a ticket to Glastonbury Festival next year, a new name has been dropped as a potential headline performer – and it's a big one. Iconic rock star Bruce Springsteen is reportedly 'in talks' to perform on the Pyramid stage at Worthy Farm next June after festival bosses Michael and Emily Eavis failed to secure Madonna. If the reports are true, it will be his second time headlining the festival after first performing in 2009. Other names rumoured to headline are Coldplay and Dua Lipa.

Charli XCX has revealed that she has been working on new music for her next album with her fiancé, The 1975's drummer, George Daniel, whom she got engaged to in November. The 'Boom Clap' singer admitted it's the first time she's collaborated with someone she's been in a relationship with but described the couple of songs they've worked on as a "cool" experience.
