Glastonbury Festival organisers have revealed how much headliners get paid each year - and it may not be as much as people think. More than 210,000 people head to Somerset for the iconic event every year to see some of the world's biggest musicians perform.
This year, the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Guns N' Roses, Elton John, Lizzo, Lewis Capaldi and Lana Del Rey will feature in one of the most star studded line-ups in recent history. However, not every performer will be paid the same as Worthy Farm owners and Glastonbury organisers Michael and Emily Eavis have revealed their act pay stricture.
Michael previously said: "I paid £200,000 for Paul McCartney and for Coldplay, and although it sounds a lot, they could have charged me far more." Emily has also spoke out of how the festival’s performers are typically paid a tiny fraction of what they’d usually expect from a major music festival.
