The acts playing this year's Glastonbury Festival have been slowly trickling in since January.

As well as confirmed headliners Coldplay and Muse, other performers taking to the multiple stages at Worthy Farm include PJ Harvey, ZZ Top and Jess Glynne.

It now seems that Art Garfunkel can also be added to the bill following a seemingly accidental admission by the singer's guitarist.

Having completed a run of European shows, Tab Laven wrote on Facebook: "We'll be back in England in June to perform at the Glastonbury Music Festival."

He also mentioned they will play a gig at Hampton Court Palace on 22 June.

Garfunkel's former singing partner Paul Simon played the coveted Sunday evening 'legends' slot five years ago; 2016 will be the turn of Jeff Lynne's ELO following last year's hugely popular Lionel Richie set.

Simon & Garfunkel were one of the most popular recording acts of the Sixties and, despite their parting in 1970, the two have shared many reunions right up until 2010. Their songs include "Bridge over Troubled Water", "The Boxer" and "Mrs Robinson."

Glastonbury Festival takes place from 23-26 June; the Saturday headline act is yet to be announced although rumours strongly suggest it will be Adele.
