While festival-goers previously speculated that Fleetwood Mac, Robyn, Diplo and Foals would be performing secret sets at this year's Glasto, event organisers have now confirmed the slot will be filled by Sean Paul.

Unfortunately, his set will clash with The Killers, who are performing on the Pyramid Stage that same night.

Other artists performing on the John Peel stage on the 29 include Bugzy Malone, Gerry Cinnamon and Swimming Girls.
