The 'retired' popstar will head to Worthy Farm after her wedding

Lily Allen will snub luxury resorts and exotic locations to spend her honeymoon at Glastonbury after she marries fiancé Sam Cooper next month.

The pair have chosen to spend their honeymoon period in the VIP section of the festival, which takes place on Worthy Farm, June 24-26, reports The Sun.

Organiser Michael Eavis told the paper the news at yesterday’s (May 19) Ivor Novello Awards ceremony in London. He said: "Lily's coming down for her honeymoon. We'll look after her – she'll get well treated. I've known her since she was tiny. She's such a star. I’d love to get her out of retirement. I'm really looking forward to her wonderful wedding."

But Allen herself was not so enthusiastic about her wedding, taking to Twitter.com/lilyroseallen to let rip. "Tip of the day: don’t ever get married," she wrote. "Everyone involved (or not as the case may be) turns into a cunt. Is there a train station for Gretna Green?"

She later calmed down, tweeting: "All fine now. The cunts are safely back in their boxes."

Michael Eavis confirms 'triumphant' Coldplay for Glastonbury

Listen to full tracks now. Users outside the UK can hear 30-second clips of each song.

Glastonbury festival organiser Michael Eavis has confirmed that Coldplay will headline the 2011 event.

It had already been widely reported that Chris Martin and co were to play the June event, but now Eavis has confirmed the booking.

He told the festival's official website, Glastonburyfestivals.co.uk, that they would headline the Pyramid Stage on the Saturday (June 25) of the festival. It will be the first time they've played the event since they headlined the same stage in 2005, having also done so in 2002.

"Coldplay have played such a major part in the festival over the last 10 years or so," Eavis said. "As their popularity grew around the world I was so proud of them. This is the triumphant return of a band that everyone here feels part of. They're one of the greatest phenomena to grow from these fields."

Beyonce is also set to play a headline slot at the event, while U2, who pulled out of the 2010 event after singer Bono injured his back, are likely to be the third headliners.

Glastonbury 2011 takes place at Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset. Billed music takes place on June 24-26, with the site opening on June 22.

The Shockwaves NME Awards Tour 2011 takes place throughout February, while Shockwaves NME Awards Shows are also taking place in London throughout the month. See NME.COM/TICKETS for details.

Ronnie Wood wants The Rolling Stones to play Glastonbury 2011

Ronnie Wood has said that he'd love The Rolling Stones to regroup to play Glastonbury next summer.

The guitarist told the Metro that it was "high time" the band got back together again, having been on a break from band duties for the last three years.

"I'd love to do it [Glastonbury]," he said. "I'm always up for the festivals. As far as the Stones are concerned we haven't had a get-together for three years but it's high time."

The band are perennially rumoured to be playing Glastonbury, but for 2011 rumours of headliners including Prince, Coldplay, Radiohead and Kylie Minogue are stronger than those of the veteran rockers potentially playing the June event.

With The Rolling Stones having a break, Wood has spent some of 2010 playing shows with the reformed Faces.
