Celebrating its 40th year in June, organiser Emily Eavis has already dropped a large hint that the Bonkers rapper will join confirmed headliners U2, saying "we've got to have Dizzee, that's a given".

Speaking after hosting Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe's show, Dizzee also said he's already working on the follow up to last year's Tongue N' Cheek.

He said: "I've been in the studio today cooking up new tracks, doing bits and bobs. Hopefully I'll have an album out next year but I'm touring a lot this year."
