As the renowned performing arts festival keeps readying for its anticipated return, a few more names have been revealed to be gracing the stage in Worthy Farm. Among them include girl group Sugababes, as well as punk-rock innovators The Damned.
They’ll be headlining at the festival’s Field of Avalon, and they won’t be alone. McFly and famed poet John Cooper Clarke are also due to appear. You can see the full list in the tweet below, which was posted by the festival’s organisers earlier today.

Of course, what with it being Glastonbury, they’ve had quite a bit of luck over the past few months when it comes to getting big names. The headliners range from Billie Eilish to Kendrick Lamar and Paul McCartney, so plenty there to keep festival-goers happy.
Some of the other big names coming up include Noel Gallagher, Lorde, Sam Fender and plenty more. Little Simz will reportedly be headlining at the West Holts stage, returning after a mid-afternoon set back in 2016. And fans of classic sixties girl groups shouldn’t be too put off either, with Diana Ross being set to take centre stage at the festival’s Legends slot, more of which you can read about here.
The full line-up can be seen at this link, but suffice to say, anyone who’s anyone in the industry has a good chance of being there.
It’s been a long time coming, what with cancellations over the past two years due to Covid. Setting stage for the first time since 2019, the festival managed to save two of its three headlining acts that were due for 2020 (McCartney and Lamar), with Taylor Swift being the one that got away. If you want to read more about the festival, or the fact that one of the headliners recently admitted to still not having a clue what he had planned once on stage, then you can look here.
Sadly it’s a bit late to get tickets now, with over 200,000 waiting attendees having bagged the last lot. On the bright side, you can watch it live right now, what with the BBC putting in their webcam on the grounds, viewing preparations that are being made as you read this. Apparently, they’ve already put the cover on the Pyramid Stage, so things are well on their way for the summer festivities.
The festival will happen from June 22nd-26th so if you’re lucky enough to have tickets, you can look forward to what should be a night to remember.
