Olivia Rodrigo to headline UK's Glastonbury festival

Popstar Olivia Rodrigo has been confirmed as the headline act for the UK's Glastonbury festival, taking place in June. British band The 1975 will headline the main stage on Friday June 27.

Rodrigo will become the second-youngest headliner at the age of 22, behind Billie Eilish who was just 20 years old when she topped the bill in 2022. 

Rodrigo, who has just two studio albums to her name, played the at the festival in 2022, and drew a large, young, crowd to the Other Stage. 

UK star, and Brit Award winner, Charli XCX will also take to the Pyramid Stage on Saturday 28 June, cementing her status as the UK's number one popstar.

Rodrigo, whose hits include 'drivers license' and 'good 4 u', will make her Pyramid stage debut, closing the festival on Sunday evening. The 1975 will perform on Friday and Neil Young on Saturday.

Born in Canada and now also a US citizen, Young was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist in 1995, and as part of Buffalo Springfield in 1997. He was also a member of the supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Rocker Rod Stewart will take the Sunday afternoon "legend" slot, the 80-year-old singer's first appearance at Worthy Farm in southwest England since he performed at the festival's main Pyramid stage in 2002.

Other performers will include Alanis Morissette, Biffy Clyro, Neil Young, Noah Kahan and The Prodigy.

The Glastonbury festival was started by dairy farmer Michael Eavis in 1970 and over the decades has become a sprawling and often muddy five-day event in June, with some of the biggest names in music performing for tens of thousands of revellers.

This year's edition will take place from June 25-29.
