The math-prog-punk-techno mavericks bring their killer second album to Pilton.

One of the best rappers out there, touring his excellent solo album, but expect lots of Outkast hits too.

James Blake
Expect an excellent mix of bass-heavy keyboard parts and effects-heavy crooning.

Elbow
Elbow are a band pretty much built to play classic Glasto sets.

Janelle Monáe
Impeccably dressed and with killer soulful tunes.

The alt-folk outfit have an excellent new album to play for the Glastonbury crowds.

Gruff Rhys
The Super Furries frontman's latest solo album is fantastic, and he's always an eccentric pleasure live.

Warpaint
One of our favourite live acts of 2010.
Where?: Park Stage
Listen: Warpaint - Undertow (live)
Lykke Li
Under-rated Swedish pop princess, a great live act.
Where?: Park Stage
Listen: Lykke Li - Dance, Dance, Dance (live)
Morrissey
He may be a tad grumpy, but he's got tunes...

Wild Beast
Their new album Smother is their best yet, we're sure it'll sound great live.

TV On The Radio
Following an excellent new album and the sad loss of their bassist, TV On The Radio return to Glastonbury.
Where?: Other Stage
Listen: TV On The Radio - Staring At The Sun (live)
U2
Their current live show takes 120 trucks to transport around. We reckon at least 80 of these will get stuck in the mud before they reach the stage...
Where?: Main Stage headlliners
Listen: U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name (live)
Queens Of The Stone Age
Their 2002 set is one of our favourite Glasto moments ever.
Where?: Other Stage headliners
