Dua Lipa, Coldplay, SZA and Shania Twain are the headliners for this year's Glastonbury - which has already sold out.

A statement from the festival says: "Dua Lipa makes her Pyramid Stage debut as our Friday night headliner, on a Friday bill also featuring Glastonbury veterans LCD Soundsystem and PJ Harvey.

"Coldplay will make their first Pyramid Stage appearance since 2016 on the Saturday night, with the only European festival appearance of their record-breaking current world tour, in the process beating their previous joint headliner record (with The Cure) and becoming the first act to headline Glastonbury five times.

"Little Simz comes back to Glastonbury to play her biggest slot yet immediately before Coldplay.

"Our Sunday night headliner is SZA, the multiple Grammy and Brits winner – and quite possibly the hottest hip hop / R&B act on the planet – who will make her Glastonbury debut following Sunday sets from Afrobeats megastar Burna Boy and Janelle Monáe.

"This year’s Sunday teatime legend will be Shania Twain, who makes her first trip to Worthy Farm for what promises to be one of the most popular sets of the weekend."

Festival founder Michael Eavis is known to be a big fan of Coldplay. Online there's been a mixed reaction, with some people taking to social media to welcome many of the acts, others admitting they didn't know at least one of the headliners.
