Completing the festival’s most prominent slots, the two bands reflect an all-male set of headliners. Explaining the decision, festival organizer Emily Eavis told the BBC: “We’re doing our best and obviously aiming for 50:50. Some years it’s more, some years it’s less.”
“This year, we had a female headliner, and unfortunately she had to withdraw… It changes all the time.”
Eavis added that the 2024 edition will likely have two female headliners. The rest of this year’s event has a nearly 50-50 split between male and female acts, in keeping with Glasto’s commitment to gender parity.
Other acts heading to Somerset this year include Lizzo, Lil Nas X, Lewis Capaldi, Chvrches, Weyes Blood, the Chicks, Alt-J, Amadou & Mariam, Carly Rae Jepsen, Fatboy Slim, Kelis, Lana Del Rey, Måneskin, Manic Street Preachers, Phoenix and the War on Drugs.
