Glastonbury Festival line-up revealed


Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Blur to headline



The full line-up for this year's Glastonbury Festival has now been revealed.

With a strong bill throughout the weekend, it's hard to pick out individual highlights - but that hasn't stopped us trying!

Friday 26 June will see a host of top acts pulling on their wellies to perform at the Worthy Farm weekender.

Lily Allen and newly-reunited ska heroes The Specials will support Pyramid Stage headliner Neil Young, while Lady GaGa and The Ting Tings lead the way for Bloc Party to set the Other Stage alight.

Jack Penate, Jamie T and Doves will all grace the John Peel Stage with their presence and Mike Skinner's The Streets will headline the Jazz World stage.

There are still two unconfirmed "special guests" scheduled for the Park Stage. Franz Ferdinand and The Last Shadow Puppets filled these positions last year, leading to speculation about who could rise to the challenge this time around.

The calibre of the act doesn't suffer on the second day of the festival either. Saturday 27 June will see Dizzee Rascal and Kasabian support Pyramid Stage headliner Bruce Springsteen, while The Script, Peter Doherty, Pendulum and Franz Ferdinand entertain the Other Stage audience.

Passion Pit, Florence and The Machine and White Lies all pave the way for Jarvis Cocker's headlining set on the John Peel Stage, while Aussie wobble-board maestro Rolf Harris makes an appearance at Jazz World. Fingers-crossed for his infamous rendition of 'Stairway To Heaven'.

The East Dance tent has a stellar roster that should help even the most weary ravers to stay up. Eric Prydz, Wiley, La Roux, Pete Tong and Deadmau5 should help you to fight back the yawns at the end of a long day.

There's no rest for long though, with Tom Jones, Madness, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds and Blur all topping off a fantastic schedule of acts on Sunday 28 June's Pyramid Stage.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Glasvegas will stride aboard The Other Stage, before The Prodigy bring the house down with their festival-closing set.

The John Peel Stage will play host to Just Jack, Ladyhawke, Noisettes and legendary Liverpudlian post-punk group Echo & The Bunnymen.

A surprise addition to the line-up, US hip-hop quartet Black Eyed Peas, will headline Jazz World on Sunday night, while Calvin Harris closes the East Dance tent.
