Muse have been revealed as the second headlining act for this summer's Glastonbury Festival.

The band announced the news via a tweet (here) saying, "Playing a little show at home…" and revealing footage of their headline performance on Sunday in 2004, and Satuday 2010 before confirming they will be the Friday night headline act in 2016.

They will also become the first act to headline on all three nights.

Ticket holders for this summer's Glastonbury Festival are reminded to take part in their future by making sure they apply for an EU Referendum postal or proxy vote. You will find links to the form to postal vote here and proxy voting here. For more information (see the news page here).

Tickets for this year have sold out. For those still hoping to get tickets, there is good news. There will be a re-sale in Spring, but the number of tickets will, as expected be limited.

Car park passes priced at £35 will be available when paying the ticket balance in April. It is not possible to book Car Park tickets until the balance for at least one of the tickets on the booking has been paid.

The dates for the 2016 Festival will be from Wednesday 22nd to Sunday 26th June. Expect something like 2,000 performances at over 100 venues including music, cabaret, theatre, circus, a fantastic Kidz area, poetry, green crafts and information, site art, decor, and loads, loads more ... much more than just the music, so make sure you check it all out! Headliners Coldplay, plus P J Harvey, and Jeff Lynne's ELO are the only acts confirmed so far.
