The killers and the cure at Glastonbury

The Killers and The Cure will be the winners of the Glastonbury Festival in 2019 next June, it was revealed.

They are part of more than 60 bands joining this year's lineup, including R & B legends Janet Jackson and Lauryn Hill.

Stormzy had already been revealed at the head of Friday night's poster; while Kylie Minogue will play the coveted coveted "niche" Sunday afternoon.

The festival will begin at Worthy Farm on June 26, with full coverage on radio, television and online on the BBC.

Other acts announced on Friday morning include:

• George Ezra
• Miley Cyrus
• Christine and the queens
• Jorja Smith
• Liam Gallagher
• Wu Tang Clan
• Vampire Weekend
• Anne Marie
• The streets
• Billie Eilish
• Sigrid
• Tame Impala
• Cinema with two doors

• The chemical brothers
• Slow motion
• Years and years
• Bastille
• Little simz
• Rosalía
• Johnny Marr
• Loyle Carner
• Mavis Staples
• Neneh Cherry
• Jon Hopkins
• Diplo

Although the three stars of the pyramid pyramid are men, 42% of currently announced members are women, which underscores the festival's commitment to gender equity.

"The gender balance is an element I consider at every stage of the booking process," said festival organizer Emily Eavis during an interview last month.

"We are a bit far from having 50/50 on the entire festival, but in 2017, the Park Stage was at 50/50 and this will be the case on other stages this year. We are definitely going in the right direction. "

The flagship performance of The Cure is their first since 1995 and their fourth overall, which means that they are related to Coldplay as the festival's most frequent poster heads.

The killers have already dominated the bill in 2007; while Kylie was chosen for first place in 2005, before bad cancer forced her to retire.

"It will be 14 years that I originally had to appear there and so much has happened to date," said the singer, as she announced her return last December.

"I look forward to seeing you all here to share this special show."

Glastonbury is expected to announce the rest of the bill closer to the festival itself.

The event sold out in half an hour last October, but the canceled tickets will go on sale on Sunday, April 28th.

Eavis recently confirmed that The Prodigy was booked before the tragic death of leader Keith Flint last week.
