MUSE will top the Friday-night bill at this year's Glastonbury Festival.

The band announced the show, their third appearance on the Pyramid Stage, via social media. 

A Glastonbury Festival spokesman said: "This will be the band’s third Pyramid headline appearance.

"They will also become the first act to top the bill on all three nights, after headlining Sunday in 2004 and Saturday in 2010."

Earlier this month, Muse won the Best Rock Album award at the 2016 Grammys for their current album, Drones.

They join Coldplay on the bill, who will headline Sunday night.

The full lineup will be revealed in April, with a ticket resale to follow shortly afterwards.
