Ticket registration for the 2010 Glastonbury festival has been opened for fans.

Anyone wanting to attend next year's music and arts event can now apply on the festival's official website. It is not possible to buy a ticket without signing up. Registration can also been done via post, but you will be required to send passport photos and contact details.

Glastonbury 2010, which will mark the festival's 40th anniversary, will run from Wednesday, June 23 to June 27 at Worthy Farm, Somerset. Early speculation about acts who could headline include Oasis, Bob Dylan, U2, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Muse, Kanye West and Radiohead.

Speaking about next year's bill, organiser Michael Eavis said: "We've got some headliners who haven't played for a few years and some who have never played here. I'm not saying names, it will be the same old guessing game.

"But they're all on the phone at the moment so it will be special."
