When is Glastonbury 2022? Headliners and incredible full line-up across main stages

Glastonbury is finally set to return after two years of cancellation due to Covid-19.

After the time away, the buildup and excitement for the legendary festival have never been bigger, with a huge lineup up set to perform across its iconic stages.

Up to 210,000 people are expected to descend on the gorgeous Somerset fields, and the local area will brace for a time of year unlike any other.

The town of Glastonbury, which has a population of around 35,000, is a favourite for people looking for spiritual connections and the famous Tor. The festival will be no different, with around 30 different areas and even more, stages catering for everyone - from families to spiritualists, metalheads to poetry fans.

One of the biggest parties the UK has to offer, this year’s Glastonbury promises to be a thrilling week with something for everyone.

Festival's founder Michael Eavis said: “We’re going to run a really brilliant show this year, and it’s going to be the best show ever, I’m quite sure.

“People are so excited to come back… they’re really looking forward to coming back… it’s going to be quite the exceptional event.”

Read on for your guide to times, dates and headline acts.

When is Glastonbury 2022?

Glastonbury 2022 is set to take place between Wednesday June 22 and Sunday June 26, meaning people planning to get down to the festival will need to ensure they get some time off work.

Who is headlining Glastonbury 2022?

The Friday night of the festival will be highlighted by none other than pop sensation Billie Eilish, the 20-year-old singer-songwriter who has taken the world by storm since the release of her 2015 hit Ocean Eyes.

Saturday will see the legendary former Beatle Paul McCartney take to the stage, who will turn 80 just four days before the festival begins.

The Sunday will see Kendrick Lamar close out the festival in style, with fans no doubt hoping the rapper performs his newly released album, Mr Morale & The Big Steppers.

Earlier in the day, the coveted legend slot will be filled by former Supremes singer and Motown legend Diana Ross.
