The first round of acts for this year’s renowned Glastonbury Festival has been announced and some of the acts are dividing fans of the famous weekender.
Topping the bill on Friday, Saturday and Sunday are Arctic Monkeys, Guns N' Roses and Sir Elton John respectively and while these three acts might be a lot of people’s idea of an ideal weekend of music, many have pointed out that the headliners are all male. In total, just over half of the 54 acts announced today are male.
Although the main headliners are all male, flautist and singer Lizzo has been put on the bill as a joint headliner, playing before Guns N’ Roses head to the stage. Despite this, all of the acts closing the Pyramid Stage during the festival are male.
