Next year, she’ll headline the Friday night on the infamous Pyramid Stage.
Glastonbury Festival today announced its first headliner: Billie Eilish will take the Pyramid Stage on Friday night, June 24.
She’ll be the youngest solo headliner in Glastonbury’s long history. It also marks Eilish’s first UK festival headline performance. It’s not her first Glastonbury appearance, though, having performed on the Other Stage in 2019.
Promoter Emily Eavis said, “We couldn’t be happier to announce that the wondrous Billie Eilish is headlining the Pyramid on the Friday at next year’s Glastonbury Festival, becoming the youngest solo headliner in our history. This feels like the perfect way for us to return and I cannot wait!”
Tickets for Glastonbury 2022, which runs from June 22-26 are sold out, with deposits paid for the 2020 Festival having rolled over for a second year, following the cancellation of the 2021 Festival.
It will mark the festival’s 50th edition. Pollstar went deep into its history in our Glastonbury cover story, talking to all the people instrumental in creating one of the most iconic festivals in the world.
Eilish, who was forced to call off her 2020 arena tour after three dates due to the coronavirus pandemic, will kick off her “Happier Than Ever, The World Tour” at New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center on Feb. 3, 2022, hitting major North American, UK and European markets, before wrapping with three shows at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif., on April 6, 8 and 9, 2022.
