Festival organisers have confirmed that Coldplay will headline Glastonbury's Sunday night slot. Chris Martin and co will become the first ever act to have headlined the festival four times after previous bill-topping performances on the Pyramid Stage in 2002, 2005 and 2011.

This year's Glastonbury will take place at Worthy Farm over the weekend of June 22-26 with the identity of this year's other headliners still the subject of much speculation. Muse, Adele, The Stone Roses, Foo Fighters and Radiohead are all among the bookies' favourites to appear the top slot (read our guesses - we didn't get Coldplay right), with ELO already confirmed for the Sunday afternoon 'legends' appearance
