As the leftovers from Glastonbury 2003 are being cleared up, keen organisers have already announced part of next year's line up.

And heading the show will be veteran rockers Prince and Sir Paul McCartney, reports say.

Concert boss Michael Eavis had already signed up the Purple Rain singer before this year's event got underway.

Macca is the running after being turned down this year because Radiohead were headlining.

They will be joined by either Oasis or Coldplay, according to The Daily Star.

None of the performers have confirmed the reports yet but behind the scenes on the weekend, Mr Eavis said: "I've got three headliners for next year, isn't that good?"

He added: "Prince promised me he'd do it. It's good we've got all these top bands wanting to play here."

Glastonbury 2003 was dubbed "the best ever" after crime levels were lower than previous years.

There was no event in 2001 after major problems the year before when the number of gatecrashers swelled to a quarter of a million.
