A significant part of the Glastonbury 2017 line-up has been revealed today.
Some of the leading names now confirmed to be at Worthy Farm in June are The xx, Biffy Clyro, The National, Royal Blood, Stormzy, Katy Perry, Chic, Alt-J and Haim, all joining the Pyramid Stage headliners Foo Fighters, Radiohead and Ed Sheeran.
There’ll be a place somewhere on the line-up too for the Emerging Talent competition winner which is due to picked during a live final at Pilton Working Men’s Club next month. “New music is at the very heart of what we do here at Glastonbury,” co-organiser Emily Eavis has said.

“I’m really excited to hear this year’s entries.”
