Glastonbury festival have announced that Lionel Richie will play the festival next year - performing in the slot that Dolly Parton dazzled in last year.

It was previously rumoured that Diana Ross would play the Sunday main stage appearance, but now Glastonbury have taken online to report that the 'All Night Long' will be getting people dancing on the final day of Glasto 2015:

Post by Glastonbury Festival (official).

The only other confirmed act so far is Manchester two-piece Twin Hidden..

Meanwhile, other rumoured acts include The Libertines, Foo Fighters, Florence And The Machine, Noel Gallagher, AC/DC and Oasis. Glastonbury 2015 takes place from 24 - 28 June.

Below: Who else could perform at Glastonbury 2015?

Kanye West: No one wanted Jay Z to perform at Glastonbury a few years back because it was blasphemy or sacrilege or something. Everyone shut up when they saw him perform though. Given that Kanye West actually is Jesus (according to him at least), no one will have a problem with him playing. Right?
