Franz Ferdinand and The Ting Tings for Glastonbury

Franz Ferdinand and The Ting Tings are set to perform at the site of Glastonbury Festival later today. 

Glastonbury supremo Michael Eavis traditionally hosts the annual ceremony to raise money for the local village of Pilton in Somerset.

Previous acts that have played at the September bash include Coldplay, Keane and  The Stone Roses.

Meanwhile, tickets for Glastonbury 2009 are available six months earlier than usual at 9am on October 5. Those wishing to go simply need to place a £50 deposit to secure their tickets.

It's a new sales tactic for Glastonbury after the tickets for last year's festival failed to shift quickly.

Emily Eavis has stated that they have a mouth watering wish-list of Radiohead, Led Zeppelin and Coldplay for the 2009 festival.
