Tens of thousands of festival-goers will head to Somerset for Glastonbury 2022 this week. The much-anticipated festival returns on Wednesday for the first time in three years after the pandemic forced organisers to cancel twice.
Sir Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish and rapper Kendrick Lamar will headline the Pyramid stage, while Diana Ross will fill the Sunday teatime legends slot. Hundreds of other artists, including US pop star Olivia Rodrigo, Lorde and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, are set to perform across dozens of stages over the weekend.
Glastonbury attendees are being told to pack "sunhats and raincoats" this year with some high temperatures predicted as well as some showers. Met Office Deputy Meteorologist Helen Caughey said: “There will be plenty of sunshine on Wednesday across the South West, although there could be a bit more cloud later in the day, and temperatures will reach 26C or 27C. The dry, sunny and warm theme will continue through Thursday."
