FIRST OFFICIAL HEADLINERS CONFIRMED

The Who, Arctic Monkeys and Björk are the first acts to be officially confirmed for this year's Glastonbury festival.

Glastonbury organisers Michael and Emily Eavis exclusively told Q that Arctic Monkeys would be headlining the Pyramid Stage and Björk would be headlining the Other Stage, but have not revealed on which days. Legendary rockers The Who have also been confirmed for the festival, which takes place between 22 and 24 June this summer.

Internet speculation has had Arctic Monkeys down as a shoo-in following their huge success in 2006, while Björk will follow her headline appearance at Coachella festival in California. Last summer The Who - featuring original members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend - played a number of festivals, including London's Hyde Park Calling shows.

Surprised? Relieved? Bothered? Tell us.

You don't know where you're talkin'about. Saw The Who in 2006 in Belgium (Werchter) and they where headliing bands like Muse, Live and they where bettter than anyone there and astonished the young audience which was at first sceptic

Looks like the Arctic Monkeys will be even more popular with Bjork as their competition!

Wow, the negative opinions spouted here about Bjork show a total lack of knowledge of music. She's a genius. If anyone has ever seen her live, regardless of what they think of her persona or eccentricty, her live shows are amazing collaborative performaces with the best in the field of electronica and classical. Saying that the arctic monkeys have no competition against Bjork is assuming alot, when Bjork played Coachella in 2002 the rest of the festival was deserted cos everyone went to see her, even though current bestbandever the Vines were playing at the same time. Don't underestimate her following.

And besides, can;t you all just get along, so what if a band you or artist you don;t like is playing? Why the need to slag them off, it's glasto for heaven's sake, there are acres and acres of entertainmewnt and dozens of other bands on at any one time that you can enjoy, that's the point. Quit the bitching.
