Organisers announced on Thursday that The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo, and Neil Young will headline Britain’s Glastonbury music festival. Neil Young will join the English rock band and American pop star.
Rod Stewart will take the Sunday afternoon “legend” slot, as announced last November. The 80-year-old singer’s performance will be his first appearance at Worthy Farm in southwest England since he performed at the festival’s main Pyramid stage in 2002.
Dairy farmer Michael Eavis started the Glastonbury festival in 1970. Over the decades, the festival has become a sprawling and often muddy five-day event in June, featuring some of the biggest names in music performing for tens of thousands of revellers.
This year’s edition will take place from June 25-29.
Rodrigo, whose hits include “‘drivers license’ and ‘good 4 u’,” will make her Pyramid stage debut, closing the festival on Sunday evening. The 1975 will perform on Friday, and Neil Young will perform on Saturday.
Young was born in Canada and is now also a U.S. citizen. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist in 1995 and as part of Buffalo Springfield in 1997. He was also a member of the supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
Other acts on the lineup include Charli XCX, whose album “‘Brat'” inspired a cultural phenomenon last summer. Hip hop artist Loyle Carner, electronic band The Prodigy, and singer-songwriter Raye will also perform.
