The first names that jump out are the most incongruous - James Blunt, Crowded House and Shakin' bleedin' Stevens will share a bill on the main Pyramid Stage on the Saturday.
What's more, they will share it with Jack White's raucous side project The Raconteurs, veteran bluesman Seasick Steve with his battered guitars, incendiary French superstar Manu Chao and rap giant Jay-Z.
Those who are slumped in their fold-up camping chairs all day in front of that stage, clutching cardboard pint glasses and sheltering under giant ponchos, will be in for one bizarre musical journey.
Then master cheesemaker Gilbert O'Sullivan opens proceedings on the Sunday, followed by US MOR king John Mayer and melancholic crooner Leonard Cohen.
For those about to cry that their beloved festival has strayed too far from its rock roots, the Pyramid Stage's opening day promises a more typical indie line-up.
