Glastonbury Festival 2023: All-male headliners revealed as 55 acts unveiled

Music legends Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses and Elton John have all been named as the headliners for this year's Glastonbury Festival.

Worthy Farm will see an all-male line-up for the top spots despite Emily Eavis' ongoing attempts to bring more women into the top gigs.

Indie kings Arctic Monkeys will headline Friday, which will be their third time closing the Pyramid stage. While rock legends Guns N’ Roses were booked when a previously confirmed female headliner reportedly pulled out.

Emily Eavis told the Guardian: “They’ll be brilliant and provide something totally different to the rest of the headliners.”

Other acts on the bill include Lizzo and Aitch, as well as Slowthai, Royal Blood, Becky Hill, Blondie and plenty more too.

This year’s lineup also includes debut performances from the Eurovision winners Måneskin, the Brit-winning girl band Flo and the US country stars the Chicks. Lil Nas X are making a comeback, while Lana Del Rey will headline the Other stage.

Appearing on Three Chords & The Truth on SiriusXM radio, Duff appeared to let slip that GN'R will perform at Glasto. When discussing the band's upcoming shows, he said "Glastonbury is going to be iconic for us". He added: "We’re going to be announcing some shows, you guys, at some point, we’ll be announcing a bunch of stuff."
