Another day and another area of Glastonbury has had its line-up poster revealed. This morning it’s the turn of Shangri-La, the cornerstone of Glasto’s late-night area, commonly known as the ‘naughty corner’.
The poster, shown below, confirms hundreds of artists including Fatboy Slim, Bob Vylan, AAA Badboy, Mandidextrous, Shy FX, Wargasm and Brass Against The Machine. Many of the artists will likely appear elsewhere at Glastonbury over the weekend, with Fatboy Slim regularly playing multiple sets and Oh My God! It’s The Church already appearing on the Field of Avalon poster. It’s also the first official confirmation of a Beans on Toast set at Glasto 2022, though we’d guess it won’t be the last.
This year’s theme for the area is ‘We The People’. Shangri-La organisers said: “Community, collaboration and hope for the next generation. The first of many exciting announcements…We cannot wait to reconnect!!!”
Shangri-La is the seventh area of Glastonbury to have its 2022 line-up officially confirmed, with at least another ten still to come. This week, we had the Left Field line-up revealed yesterday on Monday morning, following confirmation of Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent Competition results over the weekend. Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis McLaughlin won the live finals, though all seven artists who competed achieved slots on the upcoming Glasto line-up.
Last week, Glasto fans were delighted to discover the iconic Arcadia spider will be returning following planning issues with the giant crane, which had replaced the spider in 2019. The news came on Friday alongside the Arcadia line-up poster, which followed line-up posters for the Theatre & Circus fields, Glasto Latino, former dance village Silver Hayes and Field of Avalon.
The area line-ups have already bolstered the main Glastonbury line-up poster revealed in March with hundreds more artists including McFly, Sugababes and Gorgon City.
Recently, Glastonbury organisers revealed a limited edition poster print, from which all proceeds will go to War Child‘s Ukraine Emergency Fund. It features the festival’s 2022 artwork by Stanley Donwood reworked with the colours of the Ukrainian flag and will be produced on-site using the festival’s Heidelberg Cylinder printing press.
They’re now available to purchase from the online Glastonbury store for £25 with the sale limited to 2,022 prints, each of which will be numbered. They’re expected to be dispatched by the end of April, and last week, organisers shared the video below showing the printing process.
All tickets for Glastonbury 2022 have now been sold. Resales of returned tickets were held towards the end of March which both sold out in a matter of minutes. Your last chance at getting in might be to win tickets, so check out our frequently updated list of Glastonbury competitions.
Long-rumoured headliners Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar have had their slots confirmed. Also included in around 90 artists revealed on the main poster were Supergrass and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, who were both strongly rumoured, while Lorde and Sigrid are among the recent Glasto acts returning for 2022.
Paul McCartney will be 80 by the time Glastonbury comes around, which would make him the oldest ever Pyramid Stage headliner. He’s expected to perform the day after Billie Eilish headlines. Aged 20 at the time, she’ll be the youngest ever Pyramid headliner.
Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis previously confirmed on Twitter that the initial line-up poster will be published in March, with area line-ups to follow – before the complete line-up with timings is released in June, just before the festival.
Glastonbury 2022 will take place from Wednesday 22nd to Sunday 26th June at Worthy Farm near Pilton, Somerset.
