Glastonbury Festival confirms line-up with a number of surprise sets planned
Irish rap trio Kneecap have been confirmed to perform at the Somerset festival on the West Holts Stage on Saturday June 28 from 4pm to 5pm, despite calls from Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch and a number of other politicians to remove them. Kneecap were taken out of the line-up at Scotland's TRNSMT festival last week due to safety concerns by police, after member Liam Og O hAnnaidh was charged under the name Liam O'Hanna by the Metropolitan Police last month over the alleged display of a Hezbollah flag at a gig. The festival, which will run from June 25 to June 29, will see The 1975 headline the Pyramid Stage on Friday, Neil Young and his band The Chrome Hearts as the closing act on Saturday, and Olivia Rodrigo topping the bill on Sunday. Glastonbury's main yet to be announced sets come on the Pyramid Stage between 4.55pm and 5.30pm on Friday and Woodsies between 11.30am and 12.15pm on the same day, with room for a number of surprise performances on The Park Stage on Saturday between 7.30pm and 10.30pm. An unknown band named Patchwork are due to perform on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday between 6pm and 7pm. A post shared by Glastonbury Festival (@glastofest) Sir Rod Stewart will reunite with Faces guitarist Ronnie Wood to perform in the Sunday legends slot between 3.45pm and 5.15pm. Other notable sets include Brat star Charli XCX, who will headline the Other Stage between 10.30pm and 11.45pm on Saturday, while rising rapper Doechii will headline the West Holts Stage between 10.15pm and 11.45pm on the same day. Indie rockers Wolf Alice will continue their return, ahead of their first album in four years, The Clearing, on the Other Stage on Sunday, between 7.45pm and 8.45pm, while the recently reunited Scissor Sisters will perform at Woodsies between 10.30pm and 11.45pm on Saturday. Folk singer Roy Harper, who performed at the first edition of Glastonbury in 1970, will perform on the Acoustic Stage on Sunday between 9.30pm and 10.30pm, as he continues his final tour. Glastonbury will have two opening ceremonies on Wednesday, which will feature a theatre and circus show including high wire walkers and acrobats in the Pyramid field, followed by a fireworks display at 10.45pm, while a 1,000-voice choir will unite around the Flame Of Hope. The festival has confirmed its line-up app will launch on Thursday allowing festival goers to plan their personal schedule. The BBC has announced it will cover more than 100 sets at the festival on TV, radio, iPlayer and BBC Sounds.
