Glastonbury organisers have this evening revealed the line-up poster for the Greenpeace field, with the festival set to open in just under two weeks’ time.
Friday’s line-up will be entirely formed of women and non-binary artists, followed by a He.She.They. takeover. The 22-metre high interactive rave tree will also return and the area will also feature a plant-based cafe, skate ramp, eco-friendly hot showers – plus BEAM, the ‘Honeybee Pavillion’ introduced in 2019, will be there and play host to a special screening.
Artists on this year’s Greenpeace line-up include Tim Burgess, Rachel Chinouriri, Beans on Toast, Nova Twins, Big Joanie and Jamz Supernova.
Despite the full Glastonbury 2022 line-up with set times being revealed early last week, posters for specific stages and attractions have continued to be shared on social media and on the Glastonbury website. The Pilton Palais cinema tent and Shangri-La’s Truth Stage have both had posters revealed today alongside the San Remo poster. A line-up poster for the Strummerville Stage was also revealed a day earlier.
Also last week, the BBC revealed its coverage plans for this month’s Glastonbury Festival, which include broadcasting from the Pyramid Stage in UHD (or 4K) for the first time.
Their coverage will include over 35 hours on BBC One, Two, Three and Four and over 40 hours in iPlayer, in addition to live streams from the five biggest stages. There are also over 60 hours of coverage planned for their radio stations and the BBC Sounds app.
Billed as a celebration of Glastonbury, the BBC’s coverage will begin earlier than in previous years with two special programmes. BBC Two will show ‘Glastonbury: 50 Years & Counting‘ and BBC One ‘Stormzy: Road to the Pyramid Stage’ with both also available on iPlayer.
Last week, Glastonbury revealed a limited edition upcycled vest designed by Stella McCartney, available now from the Glastonbury website with all proceeds going to War Child’s Emergency Fund – helping children in Ukraine and other conflicts.
A charity vest sold back at Glastonbury 2007, also designed by Stella McCartney, has since gone on to become a rare collector’s item. Then, during a recent warehouse audit, a stash of unsold vests was uncovered.
Glastonbury organisers said: “Staying true to Stella McCartney’s ethos and principles to reduce our impact on the planet the original vests have now been upcycled and repurposed with a new mushroom artwork celebrating fungi as the future of fashion and our planet.”
Also in support of War Child’s Emergency Fund, Glastonbury organisers recently revealed a limited edition poster print. 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.
Paul McCartney will be 80 by the time Glastonbury comes around, which will make him the oldest ever Pyramid Stage headliner. He’s set to play on Saturday night, the day after Billie Eilish headlines. Aged 20 at the time, she’ll be the youngest ever Pyramid headliner.
The main line-up poster was revealed back in March with area-specific posters following throughout April and May. The full line-up, including set times, was announced at 11 am this morning.
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.
Glastonbury 2022 will take place from Wednesday 22nd to Sunday 26th June at Worthy Farm near Pilton, Somerset.
