Unless you've managed to avoid the waves of internet elation and furore surrounding the Glastonbury 2015 line-up in recent months, you'll know by now that Foo Fighters, Kanye West and The Who will headline this year's event.

Along with special appearances by Lionel Richie, Mary J Blige, Florence + the Machine and many more, Worthy Farm will play host to an eclectic bill of performances.

However, Digital Spy have rooted out nine surprising hidden gems among the hundreds of acts billed that are definitely worth checking out over the weekend June 24-28.



1. Dermot O'Leary - Rabbit Hole - Friday, June 26 - 23:30 - 01:30

He may not be returning to The X Factor later this year, but everyone's favourite spinning presenter, Dermot O'Leary, will be declaring "your Friday night starts here" at Glastonbury instead. The Radio 2 disc-jockey will appear at the Rabbit Hole just before midnight for two hours of tunes and generally looking handsome behind the decks. However, in previous years you've had to answer a riddle to get into the elusive Rabbit Hole venue, but the extra use of brainpower is definitely worth it.



2. Dynamo - Kidz Field Big Top - Saturday, June 27 and Sunday June 28

Although the magician has been a secret guest at Glastonbury in previous years, Dynamo is a billed act on no less than four occasions for 2015. The entertainer will put on a handful of shows in the Kidzfield Big Top on the Saturday and Sunday, prepared to wow children and magically lure adults out of their hangovers with his seriously mind-blowing illusions.

3. Kevin Rowland - Stonebridge - Thursday, June 25 - 15:00 - 16:00

Although legendary '80s pop band Dexys are not expected to perform at Glastonbury this year, their frontman Kevin Rowland is scheduled to play an hour-long DJ set for those who have made the early trek. Performing mid-afternoon on the Thursday, what better way to start making those Glastonbury memories than hearing some discs spun by the man behind 'Come On Eileen'?

4. Lulu - Avalon Stage - Friday, June 26 - 18:45 - 19:45

When we spoke to Lulu earlier in the year she alluded that she would be stopping by Worthy Farm for an outdoors sing-along, and here she is. The star will no doubt be performing tracks off her latest album Making Life Rhyme, but you can also expect plenty of the hits, including a mass shout out of "Wheeeeeyyyyyâ€¦ you make me wannaâ€¦"

5. Cassetteboy & DJ Rubbish - Glade Stage - Sunday, June 28 - 13:20 - 14:00

If you don't recognise the name Cassetteboy, chances are you've certainly seen one of their humourous Apprentice mash-up videos like the one below they made for Digital Spy earlier this year. This will not be their first time at Glastonbury, but their live show is not one to be missed. Expect popular hits spectacularly overdubbed with surprising famous voices.

6. Ruby Wax - Speakers Forum - Sunday, June 28 - 13:00 - 15:00

Glastonbury isn't just about the music, and one major draw is the impressive line-up of public speakers. One such booking is comedienne Ruby Wax, who will no doubt give a light-hearted and astute performance at the Speakers Forum on a Sunday afternoon. It could be just the pick-me-up you need by that point of the weekend.



7. M.O - La Pussy Parlure - Friday, June 26 - 21:00 - 22:00

It's not often a girl group gets booked for Glastonbury, but if you're seeking a dose of Girl Power for your experience this year then the Eavises have made just the booking. British trio M.O will be in the La Pussy Parlure on the Friday night to perform their brand of effortlessly slick R&B/pop. Expect tight harmonies, sassy choreography and some very very good pop melodies.

8. Idris Elba - Sonic - Saturday, June 27 - 17:45 - 19:15

While he's not solving crime as DCI John Luther on BBC One or portraying Heimdall in Thor, Idris Elba has forged a very successful music career over the past decade. This month it will take him to Glastonbury's Sonic stage for an early evening dance music blowout, full of big anthems and plenty of energy.

9. Professor Stephen Hawking - Kidz Field

The legendary scientist will make a special guest appearance at Glastonbury this year to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the Kidz Field. It has not been announced yet when he will be on and whether he'll be giving more than one talk, but his booking is likely to prove immensely popular. Here's to hoping for more theories about One Direction's line-up dramas in alternative universes.



Glastonbury Festival 2015 will take place over the weekend June 24-28.
