Muse and Stevie Wonder have been confirmed as headliners at this year's Glastonbury Festival.

The acts, who have been rumoured as bill toppers at the Somerset event for weeks, will join U2 on the bill.

Muse will headline the landmark Pyramid Stage on Saturday night, June 26, with Wonder closing the event the following night. U2 will headline the Friday night Pyramid bill.

It is the band's first appearence at the event, which runs between June 25 and 27 at Worthy Farm, Pilton, since they headlined in 2004.

"When you go out to the countryside and look at some cows and breathe in some fresh air and watch some good music, I think everyone connects with something which has been missing from city life," frontman Matt Bellamy told the BBC.

Other acts confirmed for the 2010 festival include Andy Williams and Jack Johnson.

Tickets for the event have sold out, although those who paid an in initial £50 deposit have until the end of this month to pay the remaining balance.
