Coldplay have been announced as Sunday Pyramid Stage headliners at this year's Glastonbury festival.
Coldplay join Jeff Lynne's ELO at the Somerset bash, and are the first headliners to be confirmed for the event. Adele and Radiohead are strongly rumoured to be in the running (as are about a hundred other bands).
Glastonbury 2016 takes place 22-26 June, and is sold out. Chris Martin & Co. last graced the top of the Glasto bill in 2011.
Coldplay's latest record A Head Full Of Dreams is out now.
