This year, Michael Eavis and the organisers have decided not to announce in advance who is appearing, ostensibly to calm down the rush for tickets, so that didn't work. Maybe the conspiracy theorists are right. A lot of names are still leaking out, often from the bands themselves. I'm trying to be fairly sure before I say a band is confirmed, using what I believe to be credible sources, preferably the band themselves, their management, or record company. Be warned, some of these may still be wrong.

The main circus act is Kiss My Axe, whose stage set will be Stonehenge built from cars. You can find out more about the circus acts at Glastonbury here.
