The Dead Weather have been added to the line-up for this summer’s Glastonbury festival.

The band, fronted by Jack White, will play on the Pyramid Stage on the second day of the event.

Organiser Emily Eavis said: "We're always honoured to have Jack White at the Festival and he's given us some amazing sets over the years with The White Stripes and The Raconteurs.

The Dead Weather played a surprise set in The Park last year which blew everyone away, so we can't wait to see them on the Pyramid Stage this year.”

The festival, which runs from June 25-27, will be headlined by Muse, U2 and Stevie Wonder.
