John will headline on the Sunday night, in what will be the final UK show of his farewell tour.

Arctic Monkeys have played the festival before but US rockers Guns N' Roses will be making their Glasto debut.

They were expected to be on the bill after bassist Duff McKagan accidentally let the cat out of the bag on a radio show, saying: "Glastonbury is gonna be iconic."

Other acts announced for the much-loved event include Lizzo, Blondie and Lana Del Rey.

Lil Nas X, Fatboy Slim, Raye and Nova Twins will also perform at the festival at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset.

John's slot was announced last year, and he said at the time that he "couldn’t be more excited".

"Every week I speak to new artists on my radio show and Glastonbury is often cited as a pivotal moment in launching their careers - the festival’s genuine, enthusiastic support for the best emerging talent is something I’ve long admired," he said on Instagram.

The Cold Heart singer added that his performance was "going to be emotional" as he thanked organiser Emily Eavis for having him.
