Richie said: "I'm really excited to play Glastonbury next year as it's one of the most iconic festivals in the world.
“It has a phenomenal history and the alumni of artists who have previously played is incredible so I’m honoured to be joining that club.
“It will be a really special moment for me and I can’t wait to share it with everyone. I can now say ’Yes, I’m playing Glastonbury’.”
