A major Glastonbury line-up announcement will be made in the next week.

It's after Emily Eavis responded to a question beneath an Instagram post reminding people to pay off ticket fees before 7 April.

"Will the line-up be revealed by then?" it asked. Her response was simply "yes".

We already knew about the three headliners, Radiohead, Foo Fighters and Ed Sheeran.

And legendary singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson is also on the bill.

Earlier this month, organisers explained a rumoured line-up posted by a fan site was "definitely not accurate".

Clashfinder, which is publicly edited, appeared to confirm hundreds of other names for this year's festival.

At the time, the site told Newsbeat: "It's just people having fun, creating dream line ups and the like. It doesn't take long to add or edit the acts.

"We generally stay away [from editing the site] at this point. The priority is to have accurate information at the time of the festival."

However, a few of the acts on the Clashfinder list have linked themselves to performances at Worthy Farm this year.

During a recent interview with MistaJam on Radio 1, Lorde teased she will be appearing.

She said: "We're coming over there [the UK] much sooner than you think.

"Farms are cool, I'm a big fan of farms so who knows? I love a farm but that's all I'm saying."

And back in January Wiley appeared to confirm he'll be appearing at the festival.

In 2016, Glastonbury poster announcing many of the acts on the main stages was published on 29 March.
