Michael Eavis lets one of this year’s artists slip

Michael Eavis has confirmed that Bjork will play this year’s Glastonbury.

According to the festival chief, the Icelandic singer will play but not headline the bash which takes place between June 22-24.

"Most of the line-up's done now,” Eavis told BBC Six Music. “Bjork's playing, but she's not headlining. She's brilliant. She's so good. She's not on the Main Stage. She's very, very valuable to us. We simply love her to bits and we're so thrilled she's coming. She's not replacing Kylie. She's brilliant."

Meanwhile Eavis has also confirmed several acts, and hinted at a few more to NME.COM.

Tune in tomorrow (January 25) to find out who.
