Glastonbury has confirmed that Sir Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar will be joining the headline acts performing at this year’s festival.

The former Beatle and the American rapper were both due to perform at the world-renowned Somerset festival in 2020, before the pandemic forced its cancellation.

They will be joining previously announced stars Billie Eilish and Diana Ross.

Eilish will become the event’s youngest ever solo headliner when she takes to the Pyramid Stage this year.

Diana Ross will be performing in the Sunday legends slot.

While Taylor Swift had been confirmed as a 2020 headliner, she is not understood to be joining the festival this year.
