Their appearance caps off a whirlwind career that has seen them become one of the biggest alternative acts in the world.

The band – comprised of Matthew 'Matty' Healy, Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald and George Daniel – have been friends since they were teenagers, and together have created an impressive discography of catchy and impactful hits.

All five of their albums have reached number one throughout their run – and although they have yet to bag a single in the Top 10, or a Number one single, they maintain strong streaming numbers with 16.8million monthly listeners on Spotify.

Before they take to the Pyramid stage at Glasto next month, here's everything you need to know about their releases to date, their influences, and their successes as a result.
