Billie Eilish - who is Glastonbury's youngest headliner and how did she become famous?

Billie Eilish is set to make history by becoming Glastonbury Festival's youngest-ever solo headliner when she takes to the Pyramid Stage Friday night (June 24). The 20-year-old first took to Glastonbury back in 2019 where she performed on the Other Stage to a jam-packed crowd following the success of her breakout hit, Bad Guy.

But tonight, she will be heading to the biggest stage at the UK's biggest outdoor festival - the same stage the likes of Kylie Minogue, Lionel Richie, Dolly Parton, Tom Jones, James Brown and Dame Shirley Bassey have performed in previous years.

Since first gaining recognition in 2015 for her song "Ocean Eyes", the singer-songwriter has rocketed to global stardom, having won seven Grammy awards in 2020 and singing the theme song for the 2021 James Bond film 'No Time To Die', plus eight UK top 10 hits.
