The Who confirmed as final Glastonbury festival headliners

It has been announced, after months of speculation, that The Who are to headline 28 June evening at Glastonbury 2015.

Roger Daltrey said that the British band, which joined Foo Fighters and Kanye West at the top of the bill for the sold out festival, would close this year's event with a bang, the BBC reported.

Paul Weller will also play before The Who at Glastonbury, in the penultimate Sunday night slot on the Pyramid Stage.

The band said they would take the audience on an "amazing journey" through The Who's back catalogue, including classic albums such as 'Who's Next,' 'Tommy,' 'Quadrophenia' and 'My Generation.'

Daltrey noted that it's great to be ending this part of a 50-year career at the most prestigious and respected music festival in the world, adding that they'll do their best to close this year's event with a bang, unless of course the fireworks get wet.

The Who made their first and only Glastonbury headline appearance in 2007, when they also closed the festival. They ended their set with a five song medley from the concept album Tommy, starting with Pinball Wizard.

Glastonbury took it to its Twitter page to say "We're delighted to announce that The Who will headline Sunday night, with Paul Weller playing the penultimate slot.
