Columbian pop superstar Shakira has been added to the Glastonbury Festival lineup.

The star has been added to the Pyramid Stage Bill at the event, which runs between June 23 and 27, on Saturday.

Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis said: "Shakira is not only an amazing pop star but also socially and politically forward thinking; she's working incredibly hard for good causes around the world.

"We feel honoured to have the she wolf herself come to Worthy Farm."

Shakira herself added: "I'm really looking forward to playing Glastonbury this year and being a part of their 40th anniversary.

"Glastonbury is famous for being one of the best festival crowds, so I'm sure I'll have a great time."
