Mercury prize-winners, Young Fathers are also set to return after making their debut last year.
Foo Fighters and Kanye West will headline the festival near Pilton, Somerset, England on Friday and Saturday nights but it seems fans will have to wait a little longer to find out who will top the bill on the Pyramid Stage on Sunday.
The 2015 Glastonbury Festival is set to take place from June 24 to 28, 2015.
