Last year the full Glastonbury line-up was revealed on 27 March, and as there’s no reason to suggest this year’s line-up won’t be announced at around the same date I think it’s time for a round-up of all the latest rumours and news about this years Glasto.

There’s unquestionably a rock tradition at Reading and Leeds but equally so there’s unquestionably a dance tradition at the festival and plenty of other sorts of sounds and audiences. So we try to reflect that. It’s a really strong lineup this year. We’re absolutely delighted with it.”
