We've started so we'll finish.

That's all we have time for today but scroll back down for new music and videos from the likes of Alt-J, Little Mix and Blink-182.

Plus we had the exclusive announcement of 86 bands who will join headliners Foo Fighters, Radiohead and Ed Sheeran at this year's Glastonbury.

We'll leave you with one of those bands from their set at Glasto in 2013 (above) - the genius that is Nile Rodgers and Chic.

See you on Friday.

To mark his 54th birthday, here's a nice little video treat for you.

Take it away Stanley Burrell, or should we say MC Hammer .

It features 11 new songs and will be released on 19 May.

"Misery loves company," sing Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba in the chorus, "I don't need anyone".

Sounds like a festival singalong to us...

Artists including Stormzy and Goldfrapp have been reacting to / bragging about their inclusion on this year's Glastonbury line-up, which was announced at 8am.

And as a special treat, here are Glass Animals from 2015's Glastonbury (NB: this performance contains language some viewers may find offensive).

Leicester rockers Kasabian have returned to the West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum - their third album title - in the video for their new single You're in Love with a Psycho.

The brilliantly-weird One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest-inspired promo stars Great British Bake Off host Noel Fielding and actor Stephen Graham.

With lyrics like, "And the doctors say I'm crazy, that I'm eight miles thick / I'm like the taste of macaroni on a seafood stick," could it be set anywhere else?

Alt-J combine 690s synths and a brass section in In Cold Blood, the lead single from their forthcoming third album Relaxer .

It sounds a little like Alt-J's alternative Bond theme if you ask us...

It follows their previously released 3WW and, on Wednesday night, it was named Mistajam's Hottest Record.

"That's a really old song that we were working on at university in Leeds, and we never really finished it," the band admitted in the interview which you can hear below.

Alt-J have announced the new album will be released on 2 June.

Kanye West. Missy Elliot. Migos. Kaytranada. DJ Khaled - they're all lined up to appear on Mary J Blige 's 13th album, Strength Of A Woman, which is out on 28 April.

It follows 2014's London Sessions, which was heavily inspired by the UK, and featured contributions from Sam Smith and Disclosure.

She announced the new record in a tweet, calling it "one of my most powerful albums".

The first single, Thick Of It, was released last year and it goes a little something like this.

...or so she claims in the cinematic trailer for her new album, Lust For Life.

Shot in jittery black and white, the clip sees the star philosophising about the creation of her new album, against a noir backdrop, including an image of the Statue of Liberty with its torch snuffed out.

"When I'm in the middle making a record - especially now, when the world is in the middle of such a tumultuous period - I find I really need to take the space for myself, far away from real life, to consider what my contribution to the world should be."

Same here, Lana . Same here...

In a tweet, Lana promised the record would be coming soon. Yesterday, she registered the title track - which bears a writing credit from The Weeknd - with her publishers.

He is just 18 years old but Declan McKenna is one of artists returning to Glastonbury this year, two years after he won the festival's Emerging Talent Competition.

In a tweet, he calls his inclusion on the 2017 line-up a "homecoming".

Little Mix have just unveiled the video for their Machine Gun Kelly-featuring single No More Sad Songs.

For no discernible reason, it's all set in a seedy US saloon, where Leigh-Anne, Jesy, Jade and Perrie engage in a game of pool and ride a mechanical bull, before leading a sing-along on the bar.

The video was released just hours after the band gave a triumphant performance of their sleek and catchy previous single, Touch, on James Corden's US chat show.

The band, who are currently supporting Ariana Grande on her North American tour, head back to Europe in May, and play Radio 1's Big Weekend in Hull before a series of outdoor shows this summer.

One of last year's biggest talking points at Glastonbury was Friday's all-grime line-up on the Sonic Stage .

The cast list read like a who's who of UK hip-hop - Bugzy Malone, Section Boyz, Lady Leshurr, Stormzy and Kano.

Skepta performed on the Pyramid Stage but also made a cameo in Novelist's set.

But this year, will artists such as Kano, Stormzy, Boy Better Know, Dizzee Rascal, Kano, Wiley, Nadia Rose and rapper Loyle Carner join the Mercury Prize-winner on the main stage?

We'll have to wait and see.

Of all the acts on this year's Glastonbury line-up, Shaggy is the one that's got people talking on social media. If you don't know what all the fuss is about, we're here to help...

• His real name is Orvile. Like the duck, external .
• Born in Jamaica, he wanted to be a fireman until he saw reggae star King Yellowman perform.
• He cut his first record while serving in the US Marines, and fought in the Gulf War.
• His debut single, Oh Carolina - a cover of the Folkes Brothers' 1950s hit - became a huge crossover hit in 1993.

Warning: Third party content, may contain ads.

• He followed that up with (They call me Mr) Boombastic. It sold a million copies in the US, while the album of the same name spent a year at number one in the Billboard reggae charts.
• The album established his "Mr Lover Lover" persona, which he told the BBC was a boost to his love life : "Do you know how many women line up to see if it's all true?"
• His 2000 album, Dance and Shout, looked set to flop, until a DJ in Hawaii illegally downloaded the track It Wasn't Me from Napster, and turned it into a radio smash.
• He sold more albums in 2001 than Bob Marley did in his whole career.
• After a long break from the charts, partly due to "record label issues", he scored an international hit last year with the summery This Love, external .

Expect a huge crowd when he plays Glasto... presumably on the West Holts stage.

Katy Perry is quite clear about her rider for this year's Glasto. It's a simple request, rather beautifully stated...

Might we suggest a little of the local Somerset cider instead Ms Perry?.

Perry cider? We do make ourselves giggle...

As well as Glasto debutants Lorde, Katy Perry and Emeli Sande, there are a bunch of bands who are digging out the old wellies and returning to Michael Eavis' homestead.

And we've been digging out their previous performances from our (metaphorical) closet .

So here are The xx , Royal Blood and Goldfrapp .

We will have more throughout this morning so stay tuned...

Katy Perry is, somewhat predictably, splitting opinion. 

The appearance of reggae legend Shaggy has raised a few eyebrows, too.

But overall, the line-up is getting two big thumbs up.
