Beyonce Knowles has been revealed as one of the headline acts for this year's Glastonbury festival.

The US superstar's record company, Columbia Records, has confirmed the news in a statement.

She will perform on the Pyramid Stage on the last day of the event in Pilton in Somerset.

Twenty-six-year-old Knowles said:

"I'm pumped just thinking about that huge audience and soaking up their energy.

"This really is the biggest festival in the world and I cannot wait to perform there.

"Everyone who attends is really appreciative of music and is in such a good mood that entire weekend."

Organisers of the sold-out festival are yet to officially announce 2011's line up.

Last year's acts included Stevie Wonder, Kylie Minogue and Gorillaz, who stepped in for Irish rockers U2.
