The former Beatles star previously headlined the festival back in 2004 and recalled the experience in his book The Lyrics.
McCartney explained that Glastonbury was a “very special” place.
He added: “Glastonbury is also said to be the place where King Arthur is buried. So, one way or another, it’s a very special place and it has a very definite vibe. There is simply no denying that it has a distinct aura.
