Coldplay have been confirmed as one of the three headliners at this year's Glastonbury Festival in Somerset.
The band will play the main Pyramid Stage on Saturday 25 June at Worthy Farm, Pilton.
Organiser Michael Eavis said: "This is the triumphant return of a band that everyone here feels part of."
Beyonce has also been announced as Sunday headliner by her
record company and it's rumoured U2 will perform after having to pull
out last year.
New album
Coldplay last headlined Glastonbury in 2005 and also topped the bill in 2002, three years after first appearing at the festival.
The band are currently working on the follow-up to 2008's Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends.
The record, which is being produced by Brian Eno and Markus Dravs, is yet to be given a release date.
Tickets for this year's event sold out in around four hours after going on sale in October.
Singer Beyonce Knowles will be one of the headline acts at Glastonbury this year, her record company has announced.
The US pop star will perform on the Pyramid Stage on the last
day of the event in Pilton in Somerset,
Columbia Records revealed in a
statement.
"I'm pumped just thinking about that huge audience and soaking up their energy," the 29-year-old star said.
Organisers of the festival, which runs from 22 to 26 June, have yet to officially announce 2011's line-up.
Tickets for this year's event went on sale in October and sold out in around four hours.
"This really is the biggest festival in the world and I cannot wait to perform there," said Knowles.
"Everyone who attends is really appreciative of music and is in such a good mood that entire weekend."
Last year's line-up included Stevie Wonder, Kylie Minogue and Gorillaz, who stepped in when U2 were forced to pull out.
