Three-piece Biffy Clyro will be returning to Glastonbury after taking their most recent album Elipsis, on tour.

Sande meanwhile is currently taking her Long Live The Angels tour round the Uk and Glastonbury will come three weeks before she appears at Edinburgh Castle.

Organiser Emily Eavis, daughter of founder Michael Eavis, unveiled a raft of acts on Twitter, writing: “Here are the first few names of this year’s wonderful line up! Even more will be with you soon...”

Other musicians who will be hoping for good weather in June include Rag ‘n’ Bone Man, Craig David, The Jacksons, Father John Misty, The Flaming Lips, Justice and Haim.

Sheeran revealed he would be headlining the festival earlier this month when he announced the “awesome” news via a video on Instagram.

He said: “Hello from Ed Sheeran, we’re starting the tour off today and I want to make an announcement.

“I am headlining Glastonbury on the Sunday night which is awesome.”

Sheeran’s stint on the Pyramid Stage on the Sunday means he is tasked with closing the event in Somerset.

The previously-confirmed headliners were Radiohead, who will perform on the Friday night, and the Foo Fighters, who will take to the stage on Saturday.

This year’s event, held from June 21 to 25, is expected to attract around 170,000 people.
