Jeremy Corbyn is finally going to appear at Glastonbury - a year after a planned gig at the festival was cancelled.
The Labour leader is slated to speak on the main stage ahead of hip-hop supergroup Run The Jewels on Saturday June 24th.
And he'll also put in an appearance in the Left Field tent, where he was scheduled to appear last year.
Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis told the Guardian: "We’re Corbyn fans, that’s the thing. He’s got something new and precious, and people are excited about it. He really is the hero of the hour.”

Corbyn cancelled a planned appearance at the festival last year, because it was scheduled for the same day as the EU referendum .
Former Shadow Business Secretary Clive Lewis will also appear on the Left Field Stage.
