Kendrick Lamar, Paul McCartney and Olivia Rodrigo have joined the list of musicians set to perform at Glastonbury 2022, according to the announcers of the music festival. The trio will join other pop icons including Billie Eilish, Doja Cat and Diana Ross at Glastonbury as the festival returns after a three-year absence due to the pandemic.

English singer-songwriter Paul McCartney had been initially signed to take part in the festival’s 2020 edition before it got cancelled. McCartney last performed at a music event in 2004.

 “For us, having Paul McCartney is obviously a dream, a huge moment in our history,” Emily Eavis, co-organizer of Glastonbury told BBC.

“It means the world getting Paul McCartney to Glastonbury,” she added. 

The veteran musician will perform on June 25, a week after turning 80, making him the music festival’s oldest performer. 

On the other hand, Billie Eilish will perform at the June 22-26 festival as the youngest solo headliner.
