The 2022 event will mark Glastonbury’s first festival since 2019 after two years of cancellations. Glastonbury held multiple livestream events and intimate spin-off festivals over the past two years, although the full-scale event wasn’t able to go ahead.
“We are very happy to bring you the first shortlist of artists from the main stages for Glastonbury Festival 2022 – and if you can believe it there’s even more to come,” tweeted Glastonbury Festival co-founder Emily Eavis.
