The iconic Worthy Farm shindig is returning in June and The Rolling Stones, Arctic Monkeys and Mumford & Sons are lined up to headline.

This has seemingly angered Kasabian singer Tom Meighan, who told NME that they are the perfect act to close the festival. He said:

"I'm not playing second fiddle to those bands. We're just as good, if not better. We're the ultimate, we're the headline band. But [promoter Michael Eavis] didn't call us, the b*stard."

The indie-rocker added: "Glastonbury's on our 'to-do' list. All he's got to do is pick up the phone. We've got every f**king right to headline Glastonbury 'cos we're good enough. It will happen."

Kasabian last played the festival in 2009, where they performed underneath headliner Bruce Springsteen.

The event, which will see the band play a headlining slot on June 30, takes place later this summer and will also see live sets from the likes of the Rolling Stones and Arctic Monkeys. Speaking about the 'pressure' to be perfect at the festival, frontman Marcus Mumford told Absolute Radio:

"Glastonbury is this big old juggernaut and its legacy is huge. We're playing the night after the Stones and of course it comes with a different kind of pressure. One that we're up for I think, otherwise we wouldn't have said yes. It's such a big deal for any English band, it is just kind of the biggest deal."

The band will also perform on July 6 at London's Queen Elizabeth Park and added that they're so glad to be home after breaking the U.S. market: "It's funny being a musician, because if you're not doing gigs then you're generally sitting at home and none of us are really sit at home kind of people, so we're quite enjoying busying ourselves this summer."

"We wanted to focus on England a bit more, we'd been in America a lot the last year or two. The summer's all about the UK, so we're really excited."

As previously reported, the veteran rockers were announced alongside Arctic Monkeys and Mumford & Sons as the festival's bill-toppers.

The slot will follow on nicely from their 50th anniversary shows in London and the US last year, which were hugely popular.

Speaking about the announcement, guitarist Keith Richards said: "We all had such a ball last year, and the energy between the band is so good. We can't wait to play Glastonbury."

Ronnie Wood added: "I've been using all my persuasive charm on the boys for a few weeks now. Really pleased to be doing it. Can't wait to be getting out on that stage at Worthy Farm."

As previously teased by Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno, the Rolling Stones have been confirmed to headline on Saturday, June 29 and Mumford & Sons will perform on Sunday, June 30.

Arctic Monkeys have also been added to the impressive bill and will play a set on Friday, June 28. Other acts that have been announced tonight include Dizzee Rascal, Professor Green, Vampire Weekend, The Smashing Pumpkins, Example, and Tyler, The Creator.

Fans can register for the Glastonbury 2013 ticket resale now, which will take place on April 21 and festival goers will be required to pay for the ticket in full at the time of purchase.

The indie group's last album came in the shape of 2011's 'Suck It and See', which gave the Sheffield quartet their fourth UK No.1.

Speaking to NME, drummer Matt Helders revealed that their next full release would come out in "2013" - and when questioned whether it would definitely be coming out this year, he said:

"Well, we'd be stupid if we made a 2013 album and released it next year."

He added: "There's no time deadlines or anything like that for release. We're just getting back into it, because it always takes a while to get back into it."

Arctic Monkeys' first album came 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' came out in 2006 and gave the group instant success.

The indie rockers were one of a number of musical acts performing at the massive event in London on Friday (July 27) as the UK celebrated its heritage.

Arctic Monkeys performed 'Come Together' to a gigantic TV audience and it is enjoying an upwards surge in the UK iTunes chart.

NME reports that it has reached No.14 on the download chart.

'Caliban's Dream' meanwhile, a song written by Underworld and performed by Two Door Cinema Club's Alex Trimble at the ceremony, is currently sitting at No.5 on the UK iTunes chart.

The environmental group are hoping to convince the United Nations to call the region a sanctuary, ending oil exploration and unsustainable fishing in the area.

They are launching a petition to rally support for the cause, which will then be planted on the Arctic sea bed once completed.

Stars such as One Direction and Sir Paul McCartney have added their names to the cause, whilst actor Robert Redford has also signed up.

Speaking about the campaign, executive director of Greenpeace International Kumi Naidoo said:

"The Arctic is coming under assault, and needs people from around the world to stand up and demand action to protect it. A ban on offshore oil drilling and unsustainable fishing would be a huge victory against the forces ranged against this precious region and the four million people who live there."

The Sheffield quartet, who are currently supporting the Black Keys on their North American tour, told the Calgary Herald that they want to evolve with each record and have no intentions of repeating the formula of 2006 debut 'Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not' in the future.

Drummer Matt Helders said: “For us, it seems obvious to do something different when you make a new record. I know that bands can successfully carry on by having a similar sound forever, can have a full career out of it.

“Obviously many do and that works. It’s just that I don’t think we’d ever want to do that. We couldn’t make a record like our first record again, it would sound a bit fake.”

The 26-year-old went onto admit that their recent darker material may have alienated some of their early fanbase but that it was a direction that the band felt they had to pursue:

“Obviously, Humbug got a mixed reaction and different reaction than maybe the other records, but for us it was the most important record — to do something like that and completely different.

“We had to do that to become the band that we are now, in a way, without sounding too dramatic. It was a big deal for us to go and do something completely different.”

In an interview with Rolling Stone, the 26-year-old said that he plans to begin writing the follow-up to 2011’s 'Suck It And See' during their lengthy North American tour with The Black Keys, which kicked off in Cincinatti earlier this week.

Turner admitted that it's not his usual song-writing approach: “I don't try to write on the road. I might try to this time, just for a change. Usually, I get home and I realise it's bad, so I've not done it in the past.

"We've messed around in sound checks, but I'm not gonna meet a deadline, and it's not like I need to write, though I want a head start for the next time around."

The Sheffield quartet, who recently picked up Best Live Band at the NME Awards, surprised fans by releasing a brand new non-album track, ‘R U Mine?’ out of the blue last month. 

The track comes somewhat of a surprise, with the track not featuring on their last album 'Suck It And See', which was released in 2011.

The song comes with an accompanying lofi video, which sees Alex Turner and drummer Matt Helders take a car ride before ending up with a bit of a performance.

'R U Mine' seemingly comes without any fanfare or even explanation, with no details given about its release.

As previously reported, Helders has been taking some time out of Arctic Monkeys duties recently to record a remix of Paul Weller's upcoming single 'That Dangerous Age'.

In an indie-rock coming together of huge proportions, Helders will put his own spin on Weller's track 'That Dangerous Age', which is due for release on March 11.

Ladytron will also be doing a remix of the track for the single, which will also feature a live version of Weller's new cut, 'Green'.

The single 'That Dangerous Age' is a flagship track off his new album Sonik Kicks, which marks the follow up to Weller's critically acclaimed album Wake Up The Nation.

It was announced yesterday, January 30, that the 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor' stars are up for a number of the ceremony's most coveted prizes including Best British Band, Best Album, Best Track, Most Dedicated Fans, Best Live Band, Best Video and Best Album Artwork.

Arctic Monkeys' frontman Alex Turner is also in the running for the Hero of the Year award.

Speaking about the exciting news the band's drummer, Matt Helders, explained: "We're up for all the big ones. We're very happy. We had a lot of fun making Suck It And See and it's great to be up for Best Live Band. That's all we do - record or play live - so it's good to be recognised!"

Meanwhile, newcomer Lana Del Rey has 3 nods namely for 'Video Games', which earned her nominations for Best Track and Best Video, and her third is for Best New Band. 

The ceremony for the 2012 NME Awards will take place at Brixton's O2 Academy on February 29 and the full list of nominated artists can be found on the NME's official website.

Watch Turner's band's video for 'You And I' below:

The band's frontman told The Sun newspaper that the musical landscape has changed dramatically since he had a string of Top 5 singles back in 2005 and 2007, and he no longer feels like he understands how to write an anthem:

"I have fucking forgotten how to do that… I don't know what that is any more, it's a different landscape these days."

He also opened up about his vocal ability and explained that it's not something that comes naturally to him so he is still working on his singing:

"I was never a singer. I have had to practice at that and writing melodies is something that didn't come naturally. I was more comfortable writing lyrics.”
