This year's event may still be a few short weeks away, but Glastonbury has already booked headliners for 2016, Emily Eavis has confirmed. 

The festival boss was speaking to Lauren Laverne on BBC 6 Music when she said that 2016's bash was already taking shape. 

"We've been getting calls about next year's bands and in particular the headline slots," said Eavis. "As there's only three headliners on the Pyramid Stage, we're pretty much booked up for next year. I think people start booking [festival acts] really early these days."

She continued: "Festivals are so much beyond the main stages, but we work on [the bookings] all year, always coming up with new ideas and ways to make it better."

Last week, Eavis also revealed that she received death threats for the controversial booking of Kanye West

The 2016 edition will be the last Glastonbury before it takes its traditional fallow year in 2017.

Glastonbury 2015 takes place at Worthy Farm from 24 - 28 June at Worthy Farm in Somerset. The stellar bill already features headliners Foo Fighters, Kanye West and The Who, with the likes of Florence + The Machine, Paul Weller, Patti Smith, Pharrell Williams and loads more also set to perform.
