Holy Moly have been correct in the past about Glastonbury predictions and all 3 acts have been rumoured to play for quite some time.

With U2 having pulled out last year due to Bono’s injury, they were widely expected to play this year.  Michael Eavis said that Coldplay would be returning this year and Beyonce is the american act that Eavis has been trying to get for years.
