Latest album Push The Sky Away was released earlier this year, marking the fifteenth studio album from these Aussie alt-rock behemoths.
Founded 30 years ago in 1983 from the ashes of The Birthday Party, the band has gone on to gain much praise for their sombre, visceral narratives on love and death including a memorable collaboration with the queen of pop Kylie Minogue on Where The Wild Roses Grow. In recent years Grinderman has recieved much acclaim, featuring many original members of the band chasing a more guitar-led sound to carry Cave's rich and foreboding baritone.
Coming through a life of rock excess to become a superstar resident of Brighton. Cave enthralls with his steady stream of apocalyptic hits as well as employing his majestic talent in books and film scripts such as last year's Lawless.
This is a man who needs to be heard and is sure to hold Glastonbury in raptures.

With his eponymous debut album hitting the top spot in last year, Jake Bugg is very quickly becoming the next guitar hero. His rootsy rock 'n' roll has been championed by BBC Introducing since he uploaded his tracks back in 2010.
Inspired by Johnny Cash and Jimi Hendrix, Jake started writing after hearing Don McLean on The Simpsons and has gone on to support the Stone Roses and Lana Del Rey. Known for his honest observations and toe-tapping riffs, the wonder boy claims he picks up his guitar to encourage others to pick up theirs.
With a string of Brit Award and NME nominations under his belt already, we get the feeling the Nottingham 19-year-old has got plenty more up his sleeve as he returns to Glastonbury.

For eccentric, anarchic stage craft and unforgettable live sets, look no further than the raucous charm of Enter Shikari. They first took to the Other Stage in 2009, watched by The Prodigy's Keith Flint whose band have undoubtedly influenced the high-octane rock of this in-demand quartet.
Rou Reynolds and his band of post-hardcore bandits hail from the surprisingly un-rock and roll St Albans but have never conformed to what an electro-punk band should be - releasing records on their own Ambush Reality label rather than signing to a major and gaining props for their acoustic cover of a Carly Rae Jepson classic.
Launching a sound system this year as well as writing new music, their angry, accomplished guitars and noisy, incendiary vocals will delight the Glastonbury faithful.

2012 was unmistakably the year of Rita Ora. The Yugoslavian born singer exploded onto the mainstream scene helping DJ Fresh to one of the first ever Drum & Bass number 1 singles in Hot Right Now.
As a solo artist, her powerhouse vocals - mixing pop with a strong hip-hop influence - saw her debut album Ora also take the top spot and to date has produced three chart-topping singles.
Add to this touring with Coldplay and DJ Fresh, plus a swarm of award nominations, it seems that the Ora Factor is working its magic among both the industry and fans alike.
After delivering a knockout performance at Radio 1’s Big Weekend and with the likes of Drake, Chase & Status, Will.i.am, Diplo and Kanye West all shining lights on her talent, we can’t wait to see what she’s got for us.

Over the past couple of years Solange has established herself as an R&B indie icon working with Of Montreal’s Kevin Barnes and then releasing her seven-track EP True via Terrible Records, the label co-owned by Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear and co-written and produced by Dev Hynes aka Blood Orange.
Constantly ahead of the pack in both style and music, the release of single Losing You last year created an enormous buzz, showcasing a deliciously tropical slice of 90's inspired trip-pop.
She also models, owns her own record label Saint, and is praised for her appearances on cult US kids TV show Yo Gabba Gabba. With older sister Beyonce delivering a career-defining set on Pyramid Stage back in 2011, it's now time for the exhaustingly-talented Solange to shine in the Somerset sunlight.

Goat became one of the most talked about bands in 2012 due to the success of their extraordinary debut album World Music, described as one of the year’s best albums by BBC Music.
The band hail from the historical, but little known about Northern Swedish village of Korpolombolo and create a sound which fuses infectious tribal grooves, fuzz and dual vocals.
Live shows by the band are rare but they will be making a few European festival appearances this year at Primavera, Roskilde, Way Out West and two sets at Glastonbury in what could be the perfect spiritual location for their tribal-psych sounds.

Standing head and shoulders above his peers, Stephen Manderson has established himself as the hottest UK rapper while remaining one of the most polite men in the business.
Since his debut album exploded at No.2 in the charts back in 2010, Pro Green has continually shown us he wasn’t afraid of making hard-hitting, socio-political statements with his lyrics, and Radio 1 and 1Xtra continue to champion his music as he takes the UK by storm.
His third album, set for release this summer, promises more of the clever wordplay, painful experience exquisitely told and unrelenting lyrical mastery that Green prides himself on.
Having worked non-stop through Christmas, missing the BAFTAs and even postponing his honeymoon, it’s easy to see why Pro Green remains a master of his craft.

All it takes is one song to propel The Lumineers from years of writing to being known around the globe.
Single Ho Hey has been inescapable in its heart-warming charm, leading to gold-certification of their self-titled album, sell-out shows, Grammy noms and impromptu sing-a- longs.
Leaving a life of under-the-radar gigging in New York, Wesley and Jeremiah set out for Denver to hone their rustic and rootsy rock, tipping their trilby to Ryan Adams, Jeff Buckley and the Mumfords on the way. The demonstrable result of persistence, practice and hard work, their simple, beautiful songs are what people want to hear, and we will revel in them this Somerset summer.

Four friends from South London formed Palma Violets on a trip to Reading Festival, out of frustration at the lack of authentic music around them.
Not long after their return to Lambeth, Sam, Chilli, Pete and Will were attracting the attention of Rough Trade Records and the NME, who slapped the fledgling Violets on the cover of the magazine after falling in love with "top track of 2012" Best of Friends.
Famed for their raucous live sets, the foursome have taken to the pressures of saving British guitar music with ease. They've toured debut album 180 on both sides of the Atlantic, in an assiduous six months of winning friends and sharpening sets.
The Park Stage performance will be a highlight in a hectic summer that will surely see them make the step from indie upstarts to leading lights.

Producing an enthralling mash of 90's indie, 80's dance and 70's rock and roll, Peace are the band on everyone's lips.
With a Sound of 2013 inclusion and a best new band nomination from the NME, great things are in store for this Worcester quartet. Debut album In Love was released in March of this year, introducing singles Follow Baby and Wraith to delight the airwaves and hint at their experimental, ever-developing sound.
From early BBC Introducing support to performances with Tame Impala and The Vaccines, their on-stage antics are guaranteed to be assured and electric. With the presence of the mighty John Peel on their stage, the future of indie is sure to bring harmony to Worthy Farm.

Carefree dance king Chaz Bundick goes by the name of Toro y Moi and has been credited with kick-starting and then denying chill wave.
Regardless of its classification however, the mellow, club-friendly dance tracks he makes and his remixes for the likes of Cut Copy, Tyler, the Creator and cult dance sisters Tegan and Sara mean he is a lauded producer.
After releasing debut Causes of This in 2010, he was approached by Caribou to perform at their curation of the ATP Nightmare Before Christmas festival. Latest album Anything In Return was release in January and is clearly inspired by 90's deep house grooves, with reassuring, tripped-out rhymes found on single Say That. Blissful times abound at the West Holts stage.

The much loved British soul and blues singer Alice Russell will be bringing her raw talent and charisma to the West Holts stage.
She released her 5th solo album In Dust in February this year, elevating her to a new level of mainstream recognition with accolades including BBC 6 Music Album of the Day and a performance at BBC 6 Music Live at Maida Vale. With a recent guest spot on Talking Heads leader David Byrne’s solo LP, adding to work with Mr Scruff, Quantic, DJ Yoda plus long-time collaborator TM Juke, she's borne some of the most arresting blues soul since the glory days of Aretha.
Her recent single Heartbreaker was accompanied by a video starring comedy god and long-time Alice fan Harry Shearer (The Simpsons/Spinal Tap) dressing up as Alice, gaining over 100,000 YouTube hits and a major buzz. Let’s hope Mr Burns will turn up for an unforgettable Glastonbury appearance.

Talking Heads members Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz created Tom Tom Club whilst taking a break from the day job - and have now gone on to sell more records than Talking Heads ever did.
Named after a disco in Bahamas, they kickstarted the synth pop revolution that is still revered in the charts today, with hit single Genuis of Love crawling back in to everyone's consciousness after being sampled on Mariah Carey's track Fantasy.
Latest album Downtown Rockers was released at the end of last year, and as they bring their idyllic new wave to West Holts you'll be jibbering with joy like the best Wordy Rappinghood impression.

Pioneering Australian psychedelia, Tame Impala have set the standard high with latest album Lonerism, named by NME as their album of the year despite its creator calling it a 'two year-long nightmare'.
Kevin Parker is the man behind these sentiments and created the intense, musical feasts that characterise Tame Impala after the demise of blues and jazz combo The Dee Dee Dums. Full of prodigious talent, he writes, records and produces the lion’s share of their music, crafting melodies influenced by The Beatles and Pink Floyd with a contemporary sheen of drug-addled sunshine that belies darker lyrics about isolation and pain.
As their dreamy vibes and stomping wah-wah guitars take flight, Tame Impala will escort you on a delicious trip to the height of 70's psych rock and back again in the rolling Somerset hills.

It’s been quite a journey for Scottish indie rockers Frightened Rabbit. Starting out in 2006, it was initially just singer Scott Hutchinson on his own before he recruited his brother Grant a year later with a further three members to follow.
If he was searching for the magic formula, it looks like Scott has finally found it because with the release of their fourth album Pedestrian Verse, the band are starting to match their critical acclaim with commercial success.
Album track The Woodpile has been in heavy rotation for BBC Scotland and Radio 1 too. In fact, the band play BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Derry-Londonderry a month before Glastonbury.
For first timers to Frightened Rabbit, expect lovingly crafted rousing tracks in the vein of Elbow and Biffy Clyro, a few shaggy beards and a very good time.

Perhaps the very definition of a whirlwind success, Bastille have gone from formation to Glastonbury's Peel Stage in less than two years. Originally the one-man bedroom project of charismatic frontman Dan Smith (born on Bastille Day, 14 July), the group formed in 2011 and signed with EMI that same year.
After significant underground buzz, including two cheeky mix tapes of unlikely pop covers (their version of City High's 2001 hit 'What Would You Do?' is a particular treat), the band enjoyed mainstream success throughout 2012 with a run of singles from their Number One debut album Bad Blood.
Having toured their unique brand of angst-tinged electro pop across European festivals last year, and with Muse's stadium tour beckoning, Bastille visit Glasto via Radio 1's Big Weekend in a year that shows no signs of slowing their ascent.

Local Natives stormed in to the world of mellow-indie rock with debut album Gorilla Manor in 2009. Enchanting armies of fans with the enslaving refrain of Airplanes, the LA quartet wowed label heads whilst performing at SWSX, drawing comparisons with Fleet Foxes and Vampire Weekend.
Specialising in beat-driven close harmonies with a psychedelic touch, the band released second album Hummingbird earlier this year after completing a European tour opening for Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.
With charming folk and impressive vocals creating a buzz for these earnest rock stars only at the start of their career, don't be a stranger when they mesmerise Pilton.

Returning to the John Peel stage for the second Glastonbury running, Wirral singer-songwriter Miles Kane has resolutely shaken off the ‘former Rascals’ tag and become a successful solo star in his own right.
After spells with the Rascals, The Little Flames and his role alongside Alex Turner in The Last Shadow Puppets, Kane really broke through with his debut album Colour of the Trap in 2011. His output of up front, often psychedelic rock have seen his popularity blossom sharing stages and fans with Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, The Courteeners and Noel Gallagher.
Kane’s next album, Don’t Forget Who You Are, is released just weeks before his slot at Worthy Farm.

We're not quite sure how much power Glastonbury have allocated to the Park Stage sound system, but we're pretty confident that a large dollop of the festival's total of 650,000 watts will be sucked up by the Somerset stirring drones emerging from Sunday night's Dinosaur Jr set.
The Massachusetts trio J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph helped define American alternative rock in the late 1980s on albums such as Bug and You're Living All Over Me, before Barlow left the band to focus on previous side project Sebadoh.
What's equally impressive is the band's 2005 reunion was not a cynical money making exercise, but a settling of differences which has given rise to three critically lauded albums of new work, and a live reputation as thrilling and memorable as the previous incarnation.
Settle yourselves in at a safe distance for what is sure to be an unholy performance on the Pilton hills.

Don't let your ear catch Django Django for too long on Friday night's Park Stage. The infective rhythm and buzzing synths emanating from the London based quartet will rule your head like a Pilton earworm, winning out over any other tune that passes you by this Glastonbury weekend.
The band formed at art school in Edinburgh and found early support from BBC Introducing, who brought messrs Maclean, Neff, Dixon and Grace to Radio 1's Big Weekend in 2010. Their chiseled amalgam of styles and bottomless tool-kit of colourful instruments soon kicked off a wave of critical support, culminating in a largely rapturous reception to Mercury Prize nominated debut Django Django.
They've spent the past year, touring as far and wide as Brooklyn, Brisbane and Bournemouth, and will come to Glastonbury confident that they can transfer the success of that record into a major stage festival sound. The BBC album review refers to the band as "indie par excellence", and who could argue with that?

Setting a higher standard with each new release, Foals recent album Holy Fire was universally lauded and full of tracks that build to a tantalising crescendo of primal energy. Single My Number also debuted a poppier side of Yannis and co's musicality, claimed as Zane Lowe's Hottest Record in the World and later remixed by dance floor bandits Hot Chip.
This Oxford-born quartet started life in the much talked about math-rock scene, classing Youthmovies and Battles as their contemporaries. After selling out the Royal Albert Hall in 15 minutes earlier this year, they return to Glastonbury for the third time as masters of epic-sounding, intensely orchestrated tracks that will knock your socks off when played live.

Not many 27-year-olds have played Glastonbury four times, but East London's grime-pop king Dizzee will chalk up that achievement this summer. And you couldn't wish for a better festival act than Dizzee.
His sets literally bounce with a plethora of hits and summer anthems, gathered from just four albums over ten years. From this summer he'll have a fifth to draw on, including more remarkable collaborations with pop superstars such as Robbie Williams and Calvin Harris.
His surprise appearance at Radio 1's Hackney Weekend 2012 (rocking the crowd in his own backyard), followed shortly after by his performance on the Olympic world stage sealed his status as crowd pleaser extraordinaire.

Some may be surprised to hear that The Courteeners have had three top 10 albums in the UK since their formation in 2006. In fact, latest LP Anna (recorded with Hurts producer Joe Cross) looked on course to become the band’s first No. 1 until the power of the Les Misérables soundtrack had its say. It’s a phenomenal track record made even more impressive by the group’s reluctance to engage in heavy-handed record promotion or social networking campaigns.
The Manchester lads’ branch of mainstream indie rock has had a cult following since their 2008 debut St. Jude and they bring an affable swagger that has been regularly compared to fellow Mancunians Oasis. But while Oasis remain cracked in two, The Courteeners return to Glastonbury’s John Peel Stage for the first time in five years as fan favourites and with very little to prove.

Thumping sing-along choruses, bouncing indie riffs and music inspired by 50’s rock 'n’ roll – The Vaccines are up and ready for Glasto.
The London four-piece are very much riding high after the release of their second album Come of Age back in September, which reached the top spot and was certified gold less than three weeks later. It marked a new phase for both their song writing and performance. Headline tours followed, both here and in the US, and last month saw them play their biggest show to date - to 20,000 dedicated fans at London’s O2 arena.
There’s no let up this summer, not least as they’ve secured the coveted main support slot for The Rolling Stones’ special Hyde Park concert in July. But before that we’re expecting great things from the boys on the Pyramid Stage.

It's hard to believe it's nearly 20 years since Portishead oozed in to the mainstream with seminal triphop album Dummy. Pioneers in the genre and proudly wearing their West Country roots on their sleeves, Beth Gibbons and her boys are still going strong.
After Beth's collaboration with Rustin Man on 2002's Out of Season, 2008 saw the release of long-awaited album Third. According to The New York Times, guitarist Adrian Utley revealed that they'd set a rule not to rely on any instruments or sounds associated with previous work. Forcing such brave new ground yet still retaining their delicately tormented melodies led to singles such as The Rip, which slowly tantalises as it builds to an emphatic crescendo.
With the sun setting, the flags fluttering in the breeze and the strains of Glory Box and Sour Times drifting across the fields, it's hard to imagine a more perfect Other Stage headliner.

Combining blues and rock with a healthy dose of punk, the husky tones of Seasick Steve have received praise in the autumn of his years.

Four albums later, including this year’s Hubcap Music, and we've seen Steve play the Pyramid Stage in 2010 plus collaborate with Jack White and Led Zep's John Paul Jones.

Back in 2006, album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not became the fastest selling debut by a band, attributed in part to the internet changing the face of music forever. Four school friends from the Steel City were behind this revolution, creating a monumental lasting impact with their no-nonsense, adrenalin-fuelled guitar music.
Alex Turner's genius at writing lyrics centred within the everyday made the masses fall in love with their paeans to modern life. Creating music that distils influences from greats such as The Libertines, The Smiths and Queens of The Stone Age, but uses them in a distinctly Monkey style to give each of their accomplished 4 studio albums a colour of its own.
Having recorded their fifth album in the iconic Joshua Tree desert, these trailblazers are returning to deliver more moody masterpieces you'll soon know every word to. With their memorable first Glasto headline set back in 2007, it's time for a rematch. Turner's firebrand of Northern indie is the perfect way to kick off the Pilton party in ecstatic fashion.

The new heroes of intelligent alt-rock, Alt-J impress with other-worldly music that references films and geometry with surprising grace. Intriguing debut album An Awesome Wave won a coveted Mercury music prize and the accolade of 6 Music's Album of the Year for its multi-textural tracks - ranging from the bhangra-inspired Taro to the piano-heavy melody of Tessellate.
Formerly known as Daljit Dhaliwal and (unsurprisingly considering their regular subject matter) Films, alt-J graduated from the ranks of BBC Introducing to produce experimental yet hugely accessible pop songs. Be entranced by the beginnings of folk-step as these Cambridge boys continue their dominion.

Nile Rodgers is currently riding high in the charts bringing his guitar mastery to the addictive Daft Punk collaboration Get Lucky. Sure to soundtrack the summer of 2013 with its throwback disco sound, the West Holts Stage welcomes him and Chic, the original perpetrators of floor-filling funk, to show the robots how it's done.
Responsible for groove classics such as Le Freak and I Want Your Love, Chic came in to being from two session musicians, Rogers and Bernard Edwards working together in 1976. Super producers as well as talented musicians, they are responsible for producing Sister Sledge's We Are Family album, working with David Bowie on Let's Dance plus creating hits for Duran Duran, Madonna and Grace Jones.
With their back catalogue sampled on a number of classic tracks - notably Rappers Delight by The Sugarhill Gang - their influence on popular music is phenomenal. Witness the re-birth of disco at Worthy Farm this summer.

He released his debut single Out Getting Ribs on House Anxiety records in April 2010, recorded and mixed in his bedroom with his friends Francis North and Thelonious McCabe.
