Festival organiser Emily Eavis confirmed the rockers will take to the stage on Friday night, with their last performance at the event dating back to 1998.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, Emily confirmed: "It's amazing. It's been a long time coming they haven't been since 1998. We've got them back, we're really excited about it. They are the ultimate live band and I think they will get the whole thing moving."
Emily runs the event with her father Michael Eavis, and admitted the pair have been trying to persuade the group to top the bill again for several years now.
"The thing has been timing. With their Wembley shows this year it means they're going to be here, and they're just really up for it. Timing wise it's perfect and we were so thrilled they said yes. They're doing the Friday night."
The group themselves confirmed the news when they accepted their NME Award for Best International Band last night.
Dave said: "This is amazing, we love you very much, but we also love all of the fans for voting for our band for this award. We're very thankful and very happy - sorry we couldn't make it tonight, but we will be seeing you over the summer at some big outdoor festival that nobody knows we're playing. It's Glastonbury! So we'll see you at Glastonbury - thanks a lot everybody!"
Meanwhile, Emily denied the rumours that Adele could join the bill this year.
She said: "That's not true. That's the only denial I will do. I would love Adele. To have Adele would be a complete dream, but she's not going to be here this year."
