Alabama 3 will headline the Left Field stage at this year's Glastonbury Festival.

The group will appear on June 27 on the stage curated by Mojo, the "Miscarriages of Justice Organisation".

"Since music is so often an intrinsic expression of freedom and hope, then there can be no better place to raise awareness about Mojo’s work than at this year’s Glastonbury. We are delighted to have been invited to the Friday night slot at this year's Left Field tent," Mojo's John McManus said.

Alabama 3 are also working with the Glastonbury Left Field team for a Rock Against Racism show at Brixton Academy on April 30.

The group are known for their track 'Woke Up This Morning', which was used over the opening credits of mobster TV show The Sopranos.

Acts already confirmed for this year's Somerset festival, which runs from June 27-29, include Jay-Z, The Verve and Kings of Leon.
