Speaking on BBC 6Music's breakfast show this morning (7th January), co-organiser Emily Eavis made the announcement, which now sees the 'Dirty Computer' frontwoman headlining the West Holts Stage at the festival, and joins the already confirmed headliner Stormzy and legends slot occupier Kylie Minogue.

Glastonbury Festival will take place at Worthy Farm, Pilton between 26th-30th June, with tickets already sold out. See the announcement on Twitter below.
