Glastonbury have announced some top names for the first round of acts for their 2015 lineup, although no Sunday headliner has been confirmed yet.

This is without a doubt one of the most high profile festivals this year. Joining the previously announced headliners (Foo Fighters, Kanye West and Lionel Ritchie) are the likes of Florence & The Machine, Alt J, Motorhead, Mary J Blige, Patti Smith and The Chemical Brothers.

With such a diverse range of music it's hard to believe that the organisers of Worthy Farm could do any better. But there are more surprises and delights in store.

Check out the list below for the current line-up. For more information on the festival go here.
