Musician PJ Harvey has been confirmed to perform at Glastonbury Festival this year.

She will play live on the Other stage in support of her new album, 'The Hope Six Demolition Project', and will join the likes of Coldplay and Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra on the Sunday line-up. 

Emily Eavis, the festival organiser, announced the exciting news on Twitter and posted the following message:

"Very excited to say that PJ Harvey is coming back to Glastonbury for the first time since 2004, playing the Other Stage on Sunday."

Eavis also recently told BBC 6 Music that getting Coldplay to headline the festival again is wonderful: "There’s a definite sense of pride to see them go through everything they’ve been through to become this massive band. It’s brilliant to have them back.”

Glastonbury 2016 will run from Wednesday, June 22 until Sunday, June 26 and tickets have already sold out.
