Sir Paul McCartney has already been confirmed as the headline act on the Pyramid Stage for the Saturday evening slot in Pilton, Somerset.
For the former Beatles star, Glastonbury 2020 will be his first time at the festival since he headlined in 2004, alongside Oasis and Muse.
But it is not yet known who will be the top act there on the Friday.
Last month, Emily Eavis said the Friday and Sunday headliners would be a man and a woman.
US rapper Kendrick Lamar is one name that has been mentioned for Friday.
Eavis has also said next year's headliners for the Other Stage, the festival's second biggest stage, will also be 'Pyramid level' to ensure the 50th celebrations make the festival one to remember.
All 135,00 tickets for Glastonbury 2020 sold out in just over half an hour after they went on sale, organisers said.
