THE summer just wouldn’t be the summer without the legendary Glastonbury Festival.
After two years away, the annual mudfest is back THIS WEEKEND – with a line-up of incredible music artists.
Who is in the Glastonbury line up?
Glastonbury is finally back in 2022 after both the 2020 and 2021 fests were cancelled.
And the event has a stellar line-up for festivalgoers to enjoy.
Here’s who you can expect to see.
Billie Eilish
Headlining on Friday, June 24
Billie Eilish, 20, will headline the Pyramid Stage on Friday, June 24, 2022, to become the festival’s youngest ever solo headliner.
The appearance – the singer’s first UK festival headline performance – follows her set on the Other Stage at Glastonbury 2019.
Festival organise Emily Eavis said: “We couldn’t be happier to announce that the wondrous Billie Eilish is headlining the Pyramid on the Friday at Glastonbury Festival, becoming the youngest solo headliner in our history.
“This feels like the perfect way for us to return and I cannot wait!”

Paul McCartney
Headlining on Saturday June 25
Paul McCartney – who last played in 2004 – will top the Pyramid Stage on Saturday, June 25, 2022.
The Let it Be hitmaker was due to perform in 2020, before the event

Organiser Emily Eavis told the BBC: “When he finally confirmed, we were beyond [excited].
“For us, having Paul McCartney is obviously a dream, a huge moment in our history. It means the world getting Paul McCartney to Glastonbury.”
