Foo Fighters have confirmed themselves as Glastonbury 2015's first headliners in an acceptance speech at the NME Awards.
The hard rock group scooped the gong for Best International Band, and although weren't able to be at the ceremony, they sent a video clip in where they thanked Chrissie Hynde (who presented the award), and their global fanbase. They also slipped in the news that they will be headlining Glastonbury.
You can watch their acceptance speech here. Glastonbury itself actually won the Best Festival award from NME.
Lionel Richie and The Dalai Lama are the only other confirmed acts for this year's Worthy Farm gala.
