Glastonbury Festival has announced the massive Theatre & Circus Fields line-up, which includes John Cooper Clarke, Marcus Brigstocke, Shappi Khorsandi and The Insect Circus Show.

The festival is renowned for being not just a music event, but an eclectic arts event, which hosts poets, comedians, theatre companies and circuses alongside its world-leading music line-up.

This year, the Cabaret Tent's line-up will include John Cooper Clarke, Marcus Brigstocke's Policy Unit, Shappi Khorsandi, Rob Beckett, Doc Brown and Lee Nelson.

The Theatre Stage meanwhile, will host Poetry Can F*ck Off, The Insect Circus Show and the Beatbox Collective, while Porky The Poet (AKA Phil Jupitus) will perform on the Poetry & Words stage.

The festival will also welcome special visitors from the Cumbre Tajín Festival de la Identidad, who will perform the Mexican Ritual Ceremony, Voladores, daily in the Circus Field. See the full Theatre & Circus line-up here.

Meanwhile, the third and final headliner, who will join Foo Fighters and Kanye West, is yet to be announced, however organiser Michael Eavis has revealed that the next big Glasto announcement will be on 1 June - and will involve 'two British artists. 

Daughter and co-organiser Emily Eavis then clarified speculation around her father's comments, adding "any truth to the rumours of a Sunday night charity super group arranged by Chris Martin". She tweeted back "ah, don't get confused by the two bands together story! We are announcing one band as headliner but a great penultimate too.."

Glastonbury 2015 takes place at Worthy Farm from 24 - 28 June. Other rumoured headliners including Coldplay, Stone Roses, Fleetwood Mac, Blur, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Taylor Swift, Queen and more.
