The Killers and The Cure have been announced to join Stormzy as the headline acts at Glastonbury Festival 2019. A slew of artists were revealed this morning that will be heading to Worthy Farm in Somerset this summer across 26th - 30th June.

Stormzy will take the Friday night on the Pyramid Stage while The Killers head up Saturday and The Cure will close the festival on Sunday.

Kylie Minogue had already also been slated to perform the coveted 'legend slot' on the Sunday, and Janelle Monaé was already confirmed as one of the headline the West Holts Stage acts, but those lucky ticket holders can now start getting truly excited after setting eyes on the first wave line up today...

Janet Jackson, GeorgeEzra, Liam Gallagher, Miley Cyrus, Tame Impala, The Chemical Brothers, Tame Impala, Lauryn Hill, Bastille, Jorja Smith, Billie Eilish, Two Door Cinema Club, Christine and the Queens, Sigrid, Hozier, Anne-Marie, Years & Years, Stefflon Don and Lizzo are just some of the names revealed this morning.

Confirming their slot, The Killers wrote on Twitter "Well folks, there ya have it. It’s true. Be with us," while Bastille said they're "losing our minds with excitement" about playing.

TIckets for Glastonbury are currently sold out but you can try your luck at the resale for unwanted tickets which happens on Sunday 28th April.

Check out The Killers' recent politically-charged video for 'Land Of The Free' here:

View the lyrics
Can't wipe the wind-blown smile from across my face
It's just the old man in me
Washing his truck at the Sinclair station
In the land of the free
His mother Adeline's family came on a ship
Cut coal and planted a seed
Down in them drift mines of Pennsylvania
In the land of the free

Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
(I'm standing crying)

When I go out in my car, I don't think twice
But if you're the wrong color skin
(I'm standing crying)
You grow up looking over both your shoulders
In the land of the free
We got more people locked up than the rest of the world
Right here in red, white and blue
(I'm standing crying)
Incarceration's become big business
It's harvest time out on the avenue

Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Move on there's nothing to see
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free

I'm standing crying
I'm standing crying

So how many daughters, tell me how many sons
Do we have to put in the ground
Before we just break down and face it
We got a problem with guns
In the land of the free
Down at the border, they're gonna put up a wall
Concrete and rebar steel beams (I'm standing crying)
High enough to keep all those filthy hands off
Of our hopes and our dreams (I'm standing crying)
People who just want the same things we do
In the land of the free

Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
(I'm standing crying)
