Organizers unveiled the June 21-25 festival's first line-up
poster on Thursday, presenting a mix of singers and genres.
This year's performers include the likes of British grime artist
Stormzy, hip hop star Dizzee Rascal, R&B singer Emeli Sande as
well as the Bee Gees' Barry Gibb.
Rockers Radiohead and the Foo Fighters had previously been
announced as part of the line-up as was Grammy Award winner
Sheeran.
Lorde, Solange as well as Toots and the Maytals also join the
more than 80 performers listed on the poster for the event,
which is known for its muddy fields and wet weather.
"Can't wait to see you and hopefully catch a cold lol," Perry
wrote on her Instagram page regarding her attendance.
Tens of thousands of people descend on the Worthy Farm site in
Somerset for the five-day festival, where 2016 performers
included Adele and Coldplay.
