The first line-up poster for Glastonbury 2019 has officially been revealed, confirming The Killers and The Cure as the two headliners joining Stormzy.

George Ezra, Liam Gallagher, Two Door Cinema Club and Bastille will all return to Worthy Farm and a host of female, US superstars are also performing, with Janet Jackson, Miley Cyrus, Lauryn Hill and Janelle Monae confirmed. 

Lizzo (you should check out Good As Hell if you’ve missed the hype surrounding her) and Brits 2019 Critics’ Choice winner Sam Fender are among the newer stars playing. 

The only two acts on the line-up to have previously been confirmed are Stormzy and Kylie Minogue, who will perform in the Sunday Legends’ slot. 

The tweet revealing the poster also confirmed  some timers, stating that The Killers will perform Friday while Robert Smith’s The Cure will close the Pyramid Stage on the Sunday.

The Killers’ performance at Glastonbury will be their third, following their secret set in the John Peel tent in 2017 and headline slot in 2007. 

The Cure haven’t performed at Glastonbury since 1995 and their booking means they’ll equal a record currently held by Coldplay, becoming the only band to have headlined the even four times. 

This is just the first wave of acts to be confirmed, as more will be added to the line-up in the coming months. 

Tickets for the 2019 event sold out in minutes back in October, but fans who didn’t manage to nab them will get a second chance with the annual resale, taking place in late April. Find more information on that here.
