Singer Billie Eilish will become the Glastonbury Festival’s
youngest-ever solo headliner when she takes the stage at the 2022 event,
another feather in the cap for the 19-year-old popstar who has broken numerous records in her short
career.

Eilish teased the news on Sunday on Instagram, posing herself wearing a
Glastonbury hoodie in a photo captioned “2022.” The festival’s
organizers confirmed on Monday that the American singer will perform on June 24
next year.

“This feels like the perfect way for us to return and I cannot
wait!” organizer Emily Eavis was quoted by the Associated Press as saying.

The festival was supposed to celebrate its 50th-anniversary last year,
but it was cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. This year the
festival went ahead and it hosted a five-hour live stream event featuring
Coldplay and Damon Albarn, among others.

Eilish has taken the world by storm since she broke onto the scene in
2015 with her debut single “Ocean Eyes.” The young singer has since
won Grammys for record of the year, the album of the year, song of the year, and
best new artist.

Eilish made her Glastonbury debut in 2019 after her set was upgraded
from a slot on the John Peel stage during the five-day music festival held in
Somerset, southwest England.

Eilish is also the youngest performer to write and record a James Bond
theme song. She was among the stars at the “No Time To Die” Bond film
world premiere in London last week. The young pop star will be 20 years and 6
months old when she headlines the Glastonbury festival in June 2022.
