Glastonbury organisers have this morning revealed the line-up poster for the KidzField, confirming that Cbeebies superstar Andy & The Odd Socks, a musical production of The Wind in the Willows and rumoured Basil Brush will feature in the dedicated area for children and families.
The KidzField parade takes place every day of the festival and all funfair attractions in the much-loved area are free-to-ride.
KidzField is the twelfth area of Glastonbury 2022 to have a dedicated line-up poster revealed, following the main headliner announcement back in March. Last week, we had announcements from The Glade, The Acoustic Stage and solar-powered Croissant Neuf. The week prior, we had the Left Field line-up revealed on Monday morning, followed by Shangri-La midweek and then The Common on the Friday.
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 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.
Also recently, we had confirmation of Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent Competition results. Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis McLaughlin won the live finals, though all seven artists who competed achieved slots on the upcoming Glasto line-up.
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.
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.
