Glastonbury 2023 lineup
As you might expect, Glastonbury 2023 has a huge range of big names waiting to take to the stage.
The headliners for the festival were announced back in March. That star-studded announcement included artists like the Arctic Monkeys, Lizzo, Guns N' Roses, Sir Elton John, Carly Rae Jepsen, Blondie, Lana Del Rey, Lil Nas X, Lewis Capaldi and Eurovision 2022 winners, Måneskin, among many others.
The Arctic Monkeys are headlining the Friday night slot, whilst Guns N' Roses (in their Glasto debut) will take to the Pyramid stage on Saturday night, with Lizzo opening up for them after her 2019 set on the West Holts stage. Elton's slot will be historic indeed, as his Pyramid Stage performance on Sunday will be the final UK show of the megastar's last-ever tour.
Subsequently, the festival added even more big name artists including the likes of Stefflon Don, Maisie Peters, Rick Astley, Queens of the Stone Age, the Chemical Brothers, Caroline Polachek and Digga D. You can find a comprehensive breakdown of performers on the Glastonbury website.
