Katy Perry to Headline Glastonbury Festival
by EG
Glastonbury has announced its first swath of artists for this year’s festival at Worthy Farm from 21-25 June, with 83 acts confirmed in addition to the three headliners, Radiohead, Foo Fighters and Ed Sheeran.
Joining the headliners are a selection of pop and indie royalty – Katy Perry makes her Glastonbury debut, and Barry Gibb is taking the Sunday teatime “legend” slot that drew huge crowds for Dolly Parton in 2014 and Lionel Richie in 2015.
He is not the only legend on this year’s bill. The Jacksons make their Glastonbury debut, Chic return, country star Kris Kristofferson will appear, and the Can Project – featuring original Can members Irmin Schmidt and Malcolm Mooney – will be joined by special guests including Thurston Moore.
Lorde, whose second album is due this spring, had teased an appearance during a Radio 1 interview, saying she did “love a farm”, and she will indeed be down at Worthy Farm. On a bill featuring plenty of notable female artists, she is joined by Solange, Laura Marling and Haim, among many others.
