This year’s Glastonbury Festival begins on Wednesday June 21. Most acts have already been announced and they include established names, including Elton John, Guns N’ Roses and the Arctic Monkeys – and that’s just on the Pyramid Stage. In fact, Elton John is a source of particular excitement as his Sunday-night headlining slot is billed as his final ever UK performance on his final-ever tour.

Elsewhere on the Pyramid’s bill, Rick Astley will be making his first Glastonbury appearance, joined by Maisie Peters and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. There’s also a mysterious band known as The ChurnUps who, given that they have no presence online and the prominent Friday sunset slot, are presumed to be major incognito stars – Pulp, Blur and Red Hot Chilli Peppers have been suggested.

Meanwhile in the Woodsies tent – the erstwhile John Peel stage – further enigmas abound: two big acts, on the Friday and Saturday nights, are still TBA. Yet the new music-specialising venue has already announced Hot Chip, Rina Sawayama and Christine and The Queens.

You can also catch Queens of the Stone Age on the Other stage, the festival’s second-biggest venue, as well as Manic Street Preachers, the Lathums and supergroup Generation Sex, which features Billy Idol and Tony James of Generation X, with Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones and drummer Paul Cook.

Further afield, the Chemical Brothers will headline the Arcadia’s stage, watched over, as ever, by a giant fire-breathing arachnid. Glastonbury 2023’s line-up, then, is teeming and eclectic as ever. Read on for the full billing by stage.
