While we patiently await more news of the line-up for Glastonbury 2016, festival bosses Michael and Emily Eavis have dropped some pretty big clues about who else is headlining, who won't be playing and when the rest of the line-up is due to be announced.

This week saw Coldplay announced to headline Glasto on the Sunday night - inspiring a mixed reaction from music fans, as they become the first band in history to top the bill for a fourth time. The only other confirmed names at present are Jeff Lynne's ELO for the Sunday 'legends' slot, PJ Harvey announced to play on Sunday too and Grimes. 

Rumours were circulating that Foo Fighters had been booked to headline this year, after cancelling last year when Dave Grohl broke his leg. However, that now doesn't seem to be the case. 

"We're going to announce the full line-up in April and it's the best line-up we've ever had," Michael Eavis told Metro. "We've got Coldplay on the Sunday night, and even Jeff Lynne's ELO."

He continued: "But Foo Fighters won't be headlining this year. We've got three fantastic headliners but they aren't one of them."

Dropping a huge clue about the remaining headliners, daughter Emily Eavis added: "We've got three brilliant British bands headlining the festival, although I haven't actually told anyone that yet."

Who could it be? Muse, Adele and Radiohead all among the rumoured names. 

In other Glastonbury news, they recently announced that the legendary John Peel Tent will be moved, and when tickets will go on re-sale
