The Foo Fighters, who picked up two prizes at this year's Grammy Awards including for best rock performance, last headlined the festival in 2005.

Lead singer Dave Grohl has played the event before when he was with Nirvana and Them Crooked Vultures.

Speaking to BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac, Kasabian guitarist Serge Pizzorno said: "It's such a massive honour. When we first went there we were second on in a small tent. It's incredible that we've got there. It's going to be really special."

Acts confirmed to play the NME/Radio 1 stage this year are The Maccabees, Foster The People, Justice, Two Door Cinema Club and The Horrors.

Texan rockers At The Drive-In will headline the NME/Radio 1 tent - the first UK shows they've announced since reforming in January.

Metronomy, Katy B and Azealia Banks will play in the dance tent.

The line-up for the Lock-Up, Alternative and BBC Introducing stages for this year's festival are still to be confirmed.
