It isn't the first time they have headlined the festival, having played the iconic Pyramid in 2004, when they topped the bill with Paul McCartney and Oasis

Revellers still have plenty left to enjoy as this year's festival continues over the next two days.

Saturday night will see Adele play her highly-anticipated headline set, which will mark the first time she has ever performed at Glastonbury. 

Sunday night will also see seasoned headliners Coldplay introduce their third Pyramid Stage set, as they draw the 2016 event to a close. 

Across the many other stages at the event, the likes of The 1975, Tom Odell, Years And Years and Earth, Wind And Fire will also perform.
