Glastonbury Festival has announced its full line-up for 2013, including some surprise additions over its 55 stages.
The initial line-up was announced back in March and included headliners Arctic Monkeys, The Rolling Stones and Mumford & Sons, along with a selection of artists for the main areas.
Today's announcement however saw more names added to the bill for the smaller stages, as the festival prides itself on the variety of its notoriously large lineup.
Notable additions include Dry The River, The Hives and The 1975 who will all be playing on The Other Stage, whilst DJ's including T Williams, Maya Jane Coles and The 2 Bears were among the host of acts added to the Silver Hayes dance village line-up.
Perhaps the most surprising addition today was Sir Bruce Forsyth, who will playing the Avalon stage on the third day of the festival (30 June). The 85 Year old host of Strictly Come Dancing will be performing songs from his recent album These Are My Favourites , and becomes the most recent showbiz veteran to play Worthy Farm, following in the footsteps of Tom Jones, Shakin' Stevens and Rolf Harris.

Glastonbury Festival takes place between 28 - 30 June, with tickets selling out in record time back in October.
