Michael Eavis also confirmed last week that Jay-Z will headline the Pyramid stage on Saturday night.

Emily Eavis said: "'We are thrilled that these acts are headlining Glastonbury this year, from Kings Of Leon to Jay-Z to The Verve.

"It really looks set to be an amazing year, with some great performances all round. The Verve are a great glastonbury band and they are finally doing the headline slot we have been waiting for for years.

"Jay-Z is coming all the way over especially, and he will undoubtedly do an incredible show, we are so honored to have one of the worlds greatest hip hop artists on the farm.

"Kings Of Leon are one of the most exciting live bands out there and they have come through the ranks at Glastonbury, from the new bands tent a few years back. We see them as part of the great heritage of Friday night headliners Radiohead, Coldplay, White Stripes.

"They're ready to make that leap as well. As usual we will be announcing the full line up in June."
