Kim Wilde is keen to make her Glastonbury debut with a performance in the coveted legends slot.
The British pop icon – who recently returned to the charts with ‘Closer‘, the “sister” project to her 1988 LP ‘Close’ – shared her ambition to appear at the Worthy Farm event in an interview with BANG Showbiz.
Admitting she would love to get the call from organiser Emily Eavis to play the Sunday afternoon spot, she said: “That would be so nice. I just saw the poster for this year and there are some fantastic names on there. I couldn’t say I wouldn’t love to see my name on a Glasto line-up one year! I would love it if it did.”
This year sees Rod Stewart take the spot, following in the footsteps of Shania Twain, Diana Ross, Kylie Minogue, Dolly Parton and others, with Kim revealing she regularly watches the BBC’s coverage of the music gathering on TV.
But she’s never attended in person – something the You Keep Me Hanging On hitmaker is keen to change.
“I always watch it. I love Glastonbury. I’ve never been, I think I need to do something about that,” she added. “I haven’t got the patience to be on the phone or the computer to get the tickets!
“It’s not who you are that gets in, it’s not that kind of a gig. I really respect that. It’s not about who you know, I really like the fact that I can’t swing a ticket, I think that says a lot about Glastonbury.
“It’s for the people, that’s exactly who that concert is for, it’s not for the likes of me to just breeze up and get a backstage pass, that’s not right at all.”
