Status Quo, Tom Jones, Franz Ferdinand and Spinal Tap are among the diverse acts revealed in the final line-up for this year's Glastonbury Festival.
They will join previously announced headliners Blur, Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young at the Somerset event.
Abba tribute band Bjorn Again, Dizzee Rascal, Lily Allen, Jarvis Cocker and Madness will also perform at the festival, which runs from 26-28 June.
All 137,500 tickets for the event in Worthy Farm, Pilton, have sold out.
They were put on sale last October in an attempt to stop the ticketing problems of previous years.
Lady GaGa, Ting Tings and Echo and the Bunnymen are also on the bill for the festival, which runs from 26-28 June.
Organisers will be hoping for better weather than the festival has experienced in recent years, with heavy rain and mudbaths coming to represent Glastonbury as much as the music.
 Glastonbury 2007 was a mudbath |
More than 350 acts have been booked to perform over the weekend, ranging from dance DJs to eclectic world musicians.
Among other performers confirmed for the festival are The Prodigy, Glasvegas, Kasabian, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Doves and Will Young.
US hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas will be taking to the Jazz World stage, alongside The Streets, Jamie Cullum and Roots Manuva.

too mjuch mud for me :)
I wish I was going!
I hope to get there just once
Bartender, I'll take a long cool DVD - hold the mud. (Is it just me or does anyone else hope that Tom Jones duets with Lady Gaga? Or Lily Allen? Or Jarvis Cocker?)
its that time of the year where you will here me say, "God I wish I lived in En-ger-land"
Mike - I was thinking the same thing! Sir Tom has GOT to do a few numbers with the Ladies. ;-)
Thanks for the info, Neil. Like the rest of us poor U.S. folk, we'll just have to enjoy the festival virtually. I must admit, it's easy to clean yourself up that way.
Bunnymen and Cocker aside, it's pretty meh for me. I've seen most of those in intimate venues.
Which means that Leeds/Reading still rules ;)
If it wasnae fae ur wellies, were would yae be.
Youd be in the hosputal or in infirmary!
You cauld hove a dose 'a thae flue, or even plursea
If yea didnea hove yur feet in yur wellies.
hmmm... Flying to the UK, drowning in mud, paying a fotune? Nah not quite good enough a line up to justify that... and what the hell is a tribute band doing on the bill?
ah, sold out anyway... saves the dilemma then LOL
I've been to 2 mud baths and it's not that much fun.....however, when the sun shines it's funking fantastic!
yeah been to a sunny Glastonbury and mudbaths at Roskilde... could do with missing any future mudbaths though LOL
