While the announcement of those performing at the festival is usually a closely guarded secret, the lineup has appeared in various places on the web two days ahead of its official announcement. The news comes on the back of poor ticket sales and controversy over the choice of headline act, rapper Jay Z.
According to the leaked lineup, Jay Z is to headline Saturday night on the Pyramid stage, ahead of a "very special guest" who remains unnamed. Returning Bristol heavyweights Massive Attack will lead the Other stage on the same night. Friday will see American acts Kings of Leon and Panic At the Disco take top spots, while the festival will be wrapped up on Sunday by the Verve and Groove Armada.
While the main stages have been leaked today, you can get the full multi-stage line-up here at Guardian/Music tomorrow.
The Guardian is an official sponsor of the Glastonbury festival.
