Country pop star Shania Twain will take the Sunday afternoon
"legend" slot.
British-Albanian Dua Lipa, whose hits include "New Rules" and
"One Kiss", will make her Pyramid Stage debut shortly after the
release of third album "Radical Optimism".
Coldplay, in contrast, are old hands at Worthy Farm. They will
be headlining for a record fifth time.
U.S R&B star SZA is the biggest surprise in the line-up. The
34-year-old's acclaimed album "SOS" won a Grammy last month, and
single "Kill Bill" has spent months in the British charts.
The festival, which sold out in less than an hour when tickets
were released in November, was criticised last year for an
all-male top of the bill.
Other acts set to appear this year include British rapper Little
Simz and Afrobeat star Burna Boy, while Idles and The National
will lead the charge in rock music.
