Festival line-up update: Glastonbury, Liverpool Psych Fest, Fresh Island, Off The Tracks

Stand by… this is big, if not exactly a shock. Arcade Fire have confirmed themselves, having made outrageous hints only last month, as the first headlining act at 2014’s Glastonbury fest. Tweeting the news in this pic, the band revealed they’ll play a Pyramid Stage set on 27 Jun, news which was later double confirmed on the Glastonbury website (just in case you thought they were lying).

With that, it’s on to Liverpool’s International Festival Of Psychedelia, or Liverpool Psych Fest, which will in 2014 feature as its main attraction Swedish herd Goat, and additional artists like Lay Llamas, Teeth Of The Sea, Anthroprophh, Gnod, The Janitors, Zombie Zombie, Les Big Byrd and Vaadat Charigim.

And with that, it’s on to a variety of additions in the following mixed festival bag…
