Neil Young has confirmed he will perform this summer at the Glastonbury Festival saying: "We Will Be In Glastonbury" per a Letter to The Editor | Neil Young Archives.
Neil Young's appearance at the Glastonbury Festival has been on and off for weeks now, but Neil adds that "The problems have apparently been solved".
Earlier, Neil Young declined a Glastonbury slot because "The BBC wanted us to do a lot of things in a way we were not interested in".
"Due to an error in the information received, I had decided to not play the Glastonbury Festival, which I always have loved.Happily, the festival is now back on our itinerary and we look forward to playing. Hope to see you there!"
Recall last November, when a new Timeline Concert of the Moment streamed on NYA of Neil Young @ Pyramid Stage, Glastonbury Festival on June 26, 2009.

From TW coverage in 2009, Review: Neil Young rocks Glastonbury - Glastonbury - QTheMusic.com:
"No review’s going to do this justice, so let’s just get this out the way. Neil Young was just phenomenal.
Michael Eavis has tried and failed four times previously to get Neil Young to play at his little party down on Worthy Farm dating right back to the days when local stores would put ‘No Hippies Allowed’ on their windows.
Why Old Farmer Eavis has been so determined to book him is apparent from the moment Neil Young hits the stage. There’s no farting about, his trusty scarred Gibson Les Paul, Old Black, comes straight out and he clangs straight into My My Hey Hey. Seldom has the lyric “better to burn out than fade away” been more pertinent than the day after the death of a King. But also because at this festival of legends there are some here who have faded beyond repair. What this set proved more than anything is that Neil Young isn’t among their number."
