New Order's forthcoming show at Glastonbury could feature footballer John Barnes after fans started a petition to get the band to perform their classic 1990 World Cup anthem 'World in Motion'.
The indie veterans were among the acts confirmed to join the Somerset festival's line up this week with speculation growing that former England player Barnes could be reviving his legendary rap on the famous Pyramid stage this summer. Comedian and co-writer of 'World in Motion', Keith Allen is also being urged to reprise his starring role in the video which you can watch below.
The petition on change.org reads: "for the punters in the mud at Glastonbury this year, surely it'll be brilliant if John Barnes and Keith Allen came on stage to perform with New Order for the Three Lions anthem 'World in Motion'. Let's make this happen."
This year's Glastonbury Festival will coincide with the knockout stages of Euro 2016 with expectations high that England could progress after being drawn against Russia, Wales and Slovakia.
