Glastonbury and Stella McCartney launch upcycled vest in aid of War Child

Stella McCartney Glastonbury vest

Glastonbury Festival have 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.

Stella’s dad and former Beatle Paul McCartney will be 80 by the time Glastonbury comes around, which will 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.

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.
