Taking to Instagram to make the announcement, Emily Eavis of the Glastonbury Festival explained the rationale behind their decision to move forward. “After much consideration given the current circumstances, and with the best of intentions, here is the first list of musical acts for Glastonbury 2020,” she begins. “As things stand we are still working hard to deliver our 50th anniversary Festival in June and we are very proud of the bill that we have put together over the last year or so.”
As of now, Glastonbury is set to take place on June 24th barring any further changes. The three-day lineup includes Kendrick Lamar (thus narrowing down the release window of his inevitable new album), Taylor Swift, Sir Paul McCartney, Thom Yorke, Anderson .Paak, Burna Boy, Camila Cabello, Big Thief, Lana Del Rey, and more.
