The announcement comes a little over a week after the first headline announcement was made, with Coldplay being announced as closing the festival on the Sunday. It also follows months of speculation and rumours implying the bookings of both bands.

The band announced their appearance at Glastonbury via twitter, tweeting “Playing a little show at home” a long with a short compilation of their Glastonbury performances: 2004, 2010 and a clip of an empty Worthy Farm for 2016.

Muse have had a good year so far, having just won a Grammy for last years Drones album. Muse have also been touring their album worldwide, in their typically spectacular fashion. The shows have so far included a revolving stage, holograms and a swarm of drone UFOs.

With two headliners now announced, speculation is ramping up as to who the final headliner will be. Two major contenders are Adele and Radiohead. Both have Glastonbury shaped holes in their schedules, with the former having seemingly conquered her fear of crowds and Radiohead having a new album set for release immenently, both are bookies favourites. Although going by Radioheads fondness for turning up to Glastonbury and playing anything but the Pyramid stage, there’s still a good chance both acts might have their spaces on the bill.

Other acts also announced for Glastonbury include ELO, who will play the Legend Slot and the 2x Mercury Prize winner PJ Harvey.

Glastonbury Festival will take place from Wednesday 22nd to Sunday 26th June at Worthy Farm this year.

This comes after a record sellout time for the coach and ticket packages on Thursday (1st October), which were all gone in under 20 minutes.

This year didn’t manage to break the record for standard ticket sellout, which was set last year at a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it 120,000 tickets in 26 minutes. The time taken to sell out had been falling year by year until now, In 2010 it had taken 12 hours, and by 2013 it had dropped to just one hour.

“We have, once again, been staggered by the sheer number of people from around the world who hoped to come to the Festival, with demand significantly outstripping supply,” the Festival said in a statement. “We’re sorry to all of those who missed out – we really wish we could fit you all in!”

The huge flood of people eager to buy tickets for the Festival at the 9am release lead to expected difficulties with accessing the site.

This years festival is priced at £228, plus a £5 booking fee. Children under 12 go for free as per usual.

Hope is not all lost if you missed out on getting a ticket, however, with unwanted tickets going on resale in April.

Festival founder Michael Eavis said earlier this year that the headliners up until 2017 had been booked, and the rumor mill has already started churning. Eavis has recently quashed rumors that Miley Cyrus was set to perform, and Muse claimed they wanted to perform at Glastonbury next year.

Other strong contenders include Foo Fighters, who had to drop out of their headline slot this year due to Dave Grohl breaking his leg, Radiohead and Coldplay, who are both working on new albums for next year.
