Glastonbury 2022

Billie Eilish will become the youngest ever Glastonbury solo headliner when she takes to the Pyramid Stage tonight.

Then to the dark and eerie synth bloops of “ilomilo”. A setlist chiselled into quicksilver by Zeus and carried to the stage by a choir of winged roadies. I didn’t manage to get tickets, I was close.” Glastonbury is where musical history is made and cultural colossi are crowned on a near-annual basis. Actually, it looks like kinesiology therapeutic (KT) tape, which can be used to try and help prevent and treat shin splints. A generation’s prejudices and expectations overturned like a flick of dust off the shoulder.

Glastonbury 2022 looks set to be big.

Taylor Swift was originally meant to headline Glastonbury 2020, along with Sir Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar, however the festival was cancelled due to ...

Eavis said: “I can’t afford them at the moment! Speaking to the BBC in 2016, the star explained that he had “never been asked” to do the festival. But they said the other day that they really want to do it and if they don’t do it before they die they’ll go to hell.” It seems every year the band are expected to be in the lineup, but never make an appearance. The band was rumoured to play in 2020 before the lineup was announced, but it is unlikely they will ever get to Worthy Farm. Another band that was rumoured to be on the 2020 lineup, Fleetwood Mac, have never played at Glastonbury.

America's biggest girl group have a nostalgic '90s dance party for their Glastonbury set.

All in all it made for a pretty sweet nostalgia trip, but we could have done without so many DJ dance break detours and distractions. The unique, nasal delivery of T-Boz’s iconic verses is spot-on, and still commendable after 18 years. While we await their arrival on stage, hypeman-meets-DJ hybrid plays turn-up ‘90s hip-hop tracks to get us in the mood.

It is wild and mucky, but it's wonderful to be back at Worthy Farm as the festival returns for its 50th anniversary following a two-year delay.

Her set on the Other stage in 2019 was superb, energetic and exciting – since then, she has conquered the pop world, broken industry records, and become Gen-Z’s most prominent and positive role model. With another few years and a slot later into the night and darkness, they will surely deserve to be headliners. How wonderful it is to be back, though, as the festival returns for its 50th anniversary, delayed two years.

Despite announcing that her first-ever Glastonbury set will be likely be her last, she's found herself quite a home.

“I’ve got mother duties and that and that this show “is a beautiful way to end this chapter”. What another joyous addition to her set, and sets the perfect mood for her next tracks, ‘Mr. Sun (miss da sun)’ and ‘Downers’. Ending on her dedicated track to her late stepdad who came to Glasto every year, we jive away to her last offering and leave the West Holts stage with a pep in our step. Stumbling over to the spacious West Holts stage, you sheepishly wait around for the soulful south Londoner, Greentea Peng to emerge, yet find her band tuning up their instruments ten minutes into her alotted set time.

Veteran festivalgoers say event is 'for everybody, all ages' – with onstage lineup also on the older side this year.

“There’s a real excitement in the air,” he said. “I mean, how many little tea shops have thousands of people walking past dressed in all sorts of bits and pieces.” Green, attending her 20th Glastonbury, said she enjoyed the “very much more relaxed” feel to parts of the Somerset festival, as well as the variety of food and music on offer. “There are no other cream tea stalls – we’ve been looking for this one,” she said, sipping from a china cup. This year it is 45 years and two months, even with Eilish, although that is down slightly on the average age of 49 when the festival last went ahead in 2019. “It’s a festival for everybody, all ages,” said Karen Kelsall, 62.

Sam Fender, St Vincent, Phoebe Bridgers and Idles have been rocking the festival, and now the youngest ever headliner takes to the main stage – follow along ...

Two songs left, Eilish sadly announces, and the first one of those is Bad Guy – probably Eilish’s biggest banger, the track that made her a superstar. The entire floor is shaking here, it’s a monumental finale, and Eilish ends it by sprinting furiously around the Pyramid stage before collapsing to the floor. They’ve always seemed to blur the line between ice cool and pastich, and none more so tonight than when they break into a medley of Miserlou by Dick Dale and Apache by Incredible Bongo Band, like the Pulp Fiction band they were born to be. Park stage Time to psych out on the Park, where Khruangbin are prowling the stage like extras from a Robert Rodriguez film, matching black wigs and outfits gleaming. She comes out swinging, with most of her most energetic and swaggersome tunes upfront, striding across the West Holts stage in a hat and sunglasses, treating us to some of the bassiest sound I’ve heard so far at this festival. 2001 also showcases a Foals strength, which is properly understanding the propulsion of dance music: In Degrees, while sung out of tune in its early section, really gets at the relentlessness of techno. Despite the presence of her five-piece band, Little Simz looks quite alone up there, strutting that giant stage (except when she invites Cleo Sol up there for Woman and Selfish, both of which get the crowd swaying. The sliver of daylight between 2am and My Number, played one after another, is as thin as the precision lasers being fired around the site: they’re both similarly taut and white-funky, fussing around with pretty little circular guitar riffs. The turning point of the set comes during the brilliant Standing Ovation when Simz takes off her sunglasses and talks right to us about “The motivational speakers and the honest Black leaders, the divine healers, the every day low-paid believers, the overachievers in the shadow of the gatekeepers.” It gave me goosebumps. “I stepped out here and felt so welcome,” she says, calling out her family in the crowd. It gives the show a strange flow, getting slower as it goes along, and some of the interludes feel a bit laboured in this setting. “Allow me to pick up where I left off,” snarls Little Simz at the beginning of her menacing, enlivening banger Offence - but she’s come far since she first played Glastonbury. Her latest album, Sometimes I Might be Introvert - from which much of this set is drawn - was a giant pandemic hit.

The Pyramid stage's youngest ever headliner looks entirely at home, giving an imperious, hugely engaging performance.

By the time she ends with Happier Than Ever’s slowly-building title track – its furiously angry crescendo given an extra layer of theatricality by the sheer quantity of pyrotechnics exploding over the stage – her performance doesn’t just seem like a musical shift for Glastonbury, but a triumph as well. Whether that’s evidence that Glastonbury’s audience is skewing younger, or that Glastonbury is becoming more pop-facing in the artists it books, or that Eilish is considered of a slightly different stripe to her peers, is an interesting question. But in 2022, the appearance of Billie Eilish’s name at the top of the bill passed without comment.

IDLES have returned to Glastonbury after their triumphant 2019 Park set – check out the NME review of their Other Stage slot here.

It’s another special moment (Talbot alters one lyric to “my best friend is a Ukrainian“, to the delight of the dancing punters), though Bowen fares less well than he did in 2019 crowdsurfing-wise: this time, he’s sucked into the mosh and his mic gets disconnected, leaving the guitarist seeming frustrated when he eventually clambers back on stage. you make us feel loved”. Glastonbury certainly loves IDLES. Could the Pyramid beckon the next time they descend on Worthy Farm? They’ve certainly done their chances of landing an even bigger slot in the future no harm today. Since then, two further LPs – 2020’s ‘Ultra Mono’ and November’s ‘Crawler’ – have arrived, and they’ve been welcomed back to Worthy Farm with open arms this year for a fittingly major slot on The Other Stage.

Shape-shifting musical polymath St. Vincent, AKA Annie Clark, returned to Pilton for her funnest Glasto set yet.

“Glastonbury, I would like to propose a toast to all of us,” she said. Annie last played Worthy Farm in 2014 and she alluded to her veteran status when waving goodbye. “Daddy’s home y’all!”

Despite a fairweather crowd, Little Simz delivers finesse with a West Holts headline set that draws heavily on 'Sometimes I Might Be Introvert'

“See you next time on the Pyramid!” she waves, slipping happily into the night. “It’s a people’s paradise,” beams one woman standing next to NME, gazing around her peers in awe. While the Pyramid Stage fills for Billie Eilish’s high-octane energy, Little Simz is bringing a more subtle kind of catharsis.
