Glastonbury has today revealed more acts for their virtual ‘Live At Worthy Farm.’ Including George Ezra, DJ Honey Dijon, Jarvis Cooker, PJ Harvey, Kae Tempest and Roisin Murphy. The festival has also revealed the set times for the virtual event, which is due to take place later this month (22 May 2021.)
Many of the artists included in today’s announcement have taken to social media to tell of the news. PJ Harvey wrote on Twitter: “PJ Harvey will be performing two original poems written in Dorset dialect as part of #LiveAtWorthyFarm, @glastonbury’s 5 hour global livestream event on 22nd May with encore screenings on 23rd May.” Singer song-write George Ezra wrote, “Exciting Glasto News I’ve been invited to give a guest performance for the Glastonbury global livestream on the 22nd of May Tickets are on sale now. http://worthyfarm.live If you can’t make the live performance there’ll be an encore screening on the 23rd of May!”
The set times for those announced so far has also been revealed, with Wolf Alice taking the 7 pm slot, a ‘special guest’ at 11:05 pm, followed by Kano and Honey Dijon back-to-back as the night goes on. Alongside the artists already set to perform, the festival has also hinted there are further surprise guests yet to be revealed, from both the musical and spoken word communities.
The iconic festival has also announced an added day of ‘encore streaming’ on 23 May 2021. This will allow the virtual audiences to watch the five-hour show from Sunday afternoon, broadcasting at 2 pm and 7 pm. Glastonbury’s ‘Live At Worthy Farm’ is also set to be aired in a number of UK cinemas from 22 May 2021.
‘Live At Worthy Farm’ was announced by the festival’s organisers earlier this year. Co-organiser Emily Eavis said: “We’re very pleased to announce that on the May 22, we’re going to be streaming an incredible line-up of artists from Worthy Farm,” She continued: “We’re working with an incredible director called Paul Dugdale and we’re going to be taking you on a five-hour journey through an evening at Worthy Farm. It’s going to be like the festival, but without the people.”
The organisers are also making the Glasto site available to campers over the school holidays this year. “With no Festival taking place on Worthy Farm for a second consecutive year in 2021, Michael and Emily Eavis are pleased to invite campers, for one year only, to experience the farm in a way you’ve never been able to before,” they wrote.
