Glastonbury Festival organisers have announced the full line-up for this year’s event, with Katy Perry, The XX, Lorde and Stormzy joining headliners Radiohead, Foo Fighters and Ed Sheeran.
Advertised via a tweet and a poster on the Glastonbury Festival website, this is one of the organisers' earliest full-programme announcements in years.
Other names playing the weekend include Biffy Clyro, The National and Father John Misty, as well as Bee Gees legend Barry Gibb, who performed with Coldplay last year.
