It looks as though the line-up for this year's Glastonbury Festival 2008 which takes place at Worthy Farm, Pilton might have been revealed, a day before the official unveiling, at midnight on Tuesday 29th April.

Someone has posted on the eFestivals' forum pictures which they say come from the inside of the latest Q magazine revealing the line-up, see the pictures below. eFestivals believes that this will be the correct line-up ahead of tomorrow night's official announcement, but we are unable to confirm that they are genuine.

As well as the three headliners of King Of Leon, Jay-Z, and The Verve, there's some unexpected names, the most surprising of which is the Saturday Pyramid opening slot for Eighties Welsh rock n roll singer Shakin' Stevens, with Sunday seeing appearances from Gilbert O'Sullivan and John Mayer. There are also main stage appearances for Manu Chao, Seasick Steve, and Leonard Cohen.

The Other Stage sees headlining shows from Panic At The Disco, Massive Attack, and Groove Armada, with the Glastonbury New Talent competition winners The Travelling Band and The Golden Silvers both playing early on the Saturday.

The John Peel Stage has Jamie T, Biffy Clyro, and The National as headliners with appearances from The Courteeners, MGMT, Spiritualized, and Lightspeed Champion. The Queen's Head line-up is also published and includes Santogold, The Holloways, and Dengue Fever.
