With Glastonbury Festival just weeks away, those lucky enough to have bagged themselves tickets for 2022 are counting down the days until they get to see the likes of Sir Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Wolf Alice, Diana Ross, Primal Scream and more on a farm in Pilton. But, while for some there may be tough decisions to make when it comes to set clashes and just having too many people they wish to see - for others, they're wishing their dream headliners were on the bill.
Burger brand Fat Hippo (who have launched a limited edition Glaston-Birria burger for the 2022 festival) surveyed 2,000 Brits to find out just who they would want to see at Glastonbury - and the results included artists both alive and dead. Five festival lineup posters have been unveiled featuring the results - for the UK as a whole, Gen-Z, Millenials, Gen-X and Baby Boomers.
Queen were the only group to appear in all five dream festival headliners, with ABBA, Beyonce, Eminem, David Bowie and Elvis Presley being choices for other headline slots. As well as dream lineups, the data also revealed the bands that people would most like to see reunite.
