Glastonbury Festival organisers have announced a change to the line-up for one of its stages, with them sharing the news just days ahead of the festival's return later this week.
The five-day arts festival, which is held on Worthy Farm in Somerset, will run from Wednesday to Sunday. A host of acts will take to stages over that period, with headliners at this year's event including Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA.
Ahead of its launch, organisers have announced that one of Groove Armada's sets won't be taking place. The electronic music duo - consisting of Andy Cato and Tom Findlay - had been due to perform at Stonebridge Bar on Thursday night.
The news was shared by those behind the festival in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, over the weekend. They announced the change of plans in a tweet that was shared by Glastonbury's verified account on the platform.

Organisers continued in the post: "Instead, we encourage you to take in their sets at the larger capacity Glade on Sunday at 8.30pm and B2B with Eats Everything at Levels on Saturday at 6pm. Thank you for your understanding."
It's understood that Groove Armada - known for songs such as I See You Baby and Superstylin' - were already scheduled to perform at the Glade and Levels stages. Both had been reported months ago, just like their Stonebridge Bar set.
They are set to perform at the Levels stage on Saturday from 6pm to 7.30pm as part of Eats Everything B2B Groove Armada at the venue. The duo are scheduled to perform at the Glade stage on Sunday night from 8.30pm to 10pm.

Other performers include Idris Elba and Annie Mac, both of whom are scheduled to have DJ sets at venue Stonebridge Bar later this week.
Headliners at the festival include chart-topper Dua Lipa, who is due to perform on the Pyramid Stage on Friday night. Whilst Coldplay and SZA are scheduled to take to the stage themselves on Saturday and Sunday evening respectively.
Announcing that she would be headlining on the Friday night, Dua said earlier this year: "I have dreamt of this moment all my life. Something that lived only in my wildest dreams and highest manifestations. I am so excited."
Attendees at the festival this year are set to also be able to see the likes of Shania Twain, Burna Boy, LCD Soundsystem, Cyndi Lauper, Janelle Monáe and Keane. They are due to perform at the Pyramid Stage during the five-day event.
