Glastonbury 2015 music fest unveils stellar lineup

PanARMENIAN.Net - Glastonbury have announced their 2015 lineup including a huge number of big names but crucially no Sunday night headliner as yet, Gigwise reports.

Without question the most high profile festival in the calendar, this year's Glastonbury is arguably it's most musically diverse yet. Joining the previously announced headliners of Foo Fighters and Kanye West (as well as the almighty Lionel Ritchie) are some huge names including Florence & The Machine, Alt J, Motorhead, Mary J Blige, Patti Smith and the Chemical Brothers.

As one might expect from the organisers of Worthy Farm, there are a huge number of surprises and delights. In terms of Gigwise favourites the following are all set to appear: Hozier, Sleaford Mods, Maccabees, Years & Years, Ryan Adams, Rae Morris, Enter Shikari, Ibeyi, George Ezra, Kate Tempest. As Emily Eavis also teased Courtney Barnett and Father John Misty are both on the bill: both will have a very good summer.

In terms of living legends, George Clinton is going to be touching down, as well Sparks (with Frankz Ferdinand) and Mavis Staples. Hip-hop is well catered for with Run The Jewels, Azealia Banks and Young Fathers and dance music will see acts including DeadMau5, Rudimental, Jungle, Flying Lotus, Jon Hopkins. All this plus indie favourites (Suede, Belle & Sebastian, The Waterboys) and jazz torchbearers (Lianne Las Havas, Jessie Ware and Gregory Porter.) There has already been much delight that the once banned The Fall are featured on this year's bill. The re-sale is of ticket packages that have been cancelled or refunded during the recent period of payment. From 6pm on Thursday 16 April, fans will be able to ticket and coach packages, before general admission tickets go on re-sale from 9am on Sunday 19 April.

Glastonbury 2015 takes place at Worthy Farm from 24 - 28 June, with other rumoured headliners including Paul McCartney, Elton John, Taylor Swift, Queen and more.
