Michael Eavis has dismissed speculation that Miley Cyrus will take to the stage at the 2016 Glastonbury Festival.

The US singer had been suggested recently in the media as a possible shock contender for next year's bill.

However, festival boss Eavis told the Mirror that while Cyrus is a "brilliant artist", there is "nothing in the pipeline" regarding booking her.

He added: "Our main focus is to discover a host of new artists we can showcase at Glastonbury 2016."

Eavis continued to say that he isn't averse to booking controversial acts, adding:

"Kanye West was one of the best to take to the Glastonbury stage and silenced a lot of his critics. However controversial the artist I’m sure they’ll take his stance and tell them: 'Shh'."
