Hip-hop group N.E.R.D have been confirmed as the special guests for this year's Glastonbury festival.

Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo's band will fill the Friday 3:10-4:10pm slot on the Pyramid Stage, appearing before Lily Allen.

Festival organiser Emily Eavis let slip that the group were playing last month when she mentioned their name in an interview with The Guardian.

Other hip-hop acts playing this year include Dizzee Rascal, Shlomo, Tinchy Stryder, Black Eyed Peas and Q-Tip.

Glastonbury kicks off tomorrow at Worthy Farm, Somerset. Bruce Springsteen, Blur and Neil Young are headlining this year's event.
