Paul McCartney, Kendrick Lamar and Billie Eilish are set to headline England’s Glastonbury Festival, taking place June 22-26 at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset.
McCartney and Lamar join previously announced headliners Eilish and Ross. McCartney will headline the Pyramid Stage on Saturday night, while Lamar will close out the festival on Sunday. Diana Ross will fill the festival’s coveted “legends slot” on Sunday afternoon.
Other notable performers include Olivia Rodrigo, Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat, Lorde, Phoebe Bridgers, Kacey Musgraves, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Haim and Glass Animals.
Mitski, TLC, St. Vincent, Herbie Hancock, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Charli XCX, Clairo, Arlo Parks, Beabadoobee, Big Thief, Girl in Red, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Leon Bridges and Khruangbin will also perform, while Lianne La Havas, Burna Boy, the Avalanches, Pet Shop Boys, Courtney Barnett, Sam Fender, Idles, Declan McKenna, Black Midi, Little Simz, Wolf Alice, Turnstile, Snarky Puppy, Yves Tumor and Squid further round out the bill.
Also playing the festival are Foals, Caribou, Tems, Fontaines D.C., Caroline Polachek, Wet Leg, Years & Years, Inhaler, Joy Crookes, Sampa the Great, Nubya Garcia, Celeste, Ghetts, Bicep, Nightmares on Wax, Seun Kuti & Egypt 80, Greentea Peng, Self Esteem, Supergrass, Metronomy, Rufus Wainwright and the Waterboys.
McCartney last played Glastonbury in 2004 and was due to headline the canceled 2020 edition. The former Beatle is set to become the oldest headliner in the festival’s history, while the 20-year-old Eilish is the youngest.
The top of the bill comes close to fulfilling the list of headliners that was promised in early 2020, as not just McCartney but also Lamar and Ross were booked at that time. Of the four 2020 headliners, only Taylor Swift was not rebooked for 2022; she’s not yet known to be doing any touring this year. Swift is the one of this year’s top four who hadn’t been set to headline in 2020.
According to the lineup poster, more acts and attractions will be announced.
