Queens of the Stone Age, the Chemical Brothers, Skepta, Caroline Polachek and Digga D are among the new names added to the 2023 Glastonbury lineup, as the weekend’s entire programme has been announced.

Additions to the Pyramid stage – joining previously announced big names such as Guns N’ Roses, Elton John and Lizzo – include Rick Astley opening the bill on Saturday and playing the festival for the first time; pop singers Maisie Peters and Sophie Ellis-Bextor; and the Master Musicians of Joujouka, the Moroccan group from a small village in the Rif mountains who play a deeply involving form of drone music.
