While we still don't know the identity of the third headliner at Glastonbury Festival, we do know the names of the eight finalists of the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition 2016. 

Bossy Love, Early GhostGillbanks, Hattie Whitehead, Henry Green, Lady Sanity, Marcus McCoan and She Drew The Gun have all made the list with the winner getting the chance to play on one of the events main stages. Have a listen to them below. 

The competition has a good pedigree with previous winners including The Subways, The Golden Silvers, Scouting For Girls and Stornoway

Meanwhile Saint Etienne (watch the classic 'Nothing Can Stop Us' below) member Bob Stanley let slip that his band will also be playing Glastonbury during an interview with BBC 6Music's Stuart Maconie. Other acts confirmed so far include Jess Glynne and Art Garfunkel

Coldplay and Muse are the two headliners so far nailed on to play the festival's Pyramid Stage with speculation continuing to mount over who will join them. Adele, Stone Roses and Radiohead seem to be the names on most expert's lips.
