After months of speculation and rumours, a large chunk of the Glastonbury 2015 line up has been announced, with rock legend Patti Smith and singer Pharrell Williams among those to play in June.
As ever, the festival will provide its audience with an eclectic mix of artists, with RnB singer Mary J Blige and hard rock pioneers Motörhead both making their first appearances at Worthy Farm.
Other prestigious artists set to play at the dairy farm in Somerset include Motown singer Lionel Richie and jazz singer Gregory Porter.
The Indie side of music will have representatives in Nineties favourites Suede, The Vaccines, The Maccabees, and Alt-J.
Dance acts including DeadMau5, The Chemical Brothers, Jamie XX, Hot Chip, Caribou, and Rudimental have all been booked. Hopefully lightning won't strike twice for Rudimental, after their set was cut short last year after an intense storm cut off electricity to the Pyramid Stage.
Festival-goers remain in the dark about who will take the often career-defining headlining slot on the Pyramid Stage on Sunday. Last year Leicester rock band Kasabian had the honour.
The Friday and Saturday slots have already been announced, with rockers the Foo Fighters and rapper Kanye West billed to play.
