The Lathums are strongly rumoured to appear on the line-up for Glastonbury 2022 after they said on Twitter last night: “See you at Glasto mate”.
During a Q&A with their followers, many directly asked if the band would be playing Glastonbury without response, but one fan asked: “Has Duz still got Ross Perkins pretty green jacket from your gig at Gorilla?”
This one got a reply, with the response coming: “Damn right I do, see you at Glasto mate – Duz” – they’re now widely expected to be performing, though there’s always the chance they’ve been holding onto tickets since 2019.
Having formed back in 2018, The Lathums are yet to play Glastonbury. Lead guitarist Scott Concepcion previously told House of Coco he’s got a bet with his high school maths feature that he’ll be on the Glastonbury line-up one day. The winner gets a chocolate bar.
The band are from Wigan and was formed at The Music College in nearby Pemberton after their tutor placed them in the same group for a project. They signed a contract with Island Records that same year and their debut album, How Beautiful Life Can Be, entered the UK album chart at number 1 on its release in September 2021.
As it stands, only Billie Eilish, Diana Ross, Little Simz and R.A.E. have been officially confirmed by Glastonbury organisers as part of the line-up – with 2020 Emerging Talent Competiton runners-up ADIMAL and Matilda Mann also expected to appear.
Organiser Emily Eavis has revealed the main Glastonbury 2022 line-up poster will be released in March.
However, a few other artists have self-confirmed their place, including Crowded House, Craig Charles, Confidence Man, Papaphone, Courtney Barnett and Black Dyke Band. The latter will open the Pyramid Stage on Sunday morning.
Billie Eilish will be the youngest ever Pyramid Stage headliner, at 20 years old when she performs on the Friday night. Diana Ross will take the Pyramid’s Sunday afternoon ‘Legends Slot’.
Harry Styles has also been rumoured to appear – as have Supergrass, The Chemical Brothers, Wolf Alice, George Ezra, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and even a reformed Oasis.
The full line-up is usually revealed towards the end of May, just a few weeks before the festival, although more artists are often confirmed from February.
Glastonbury 2022 will take place from Wednesday 22nd to Sunday 26th June at Worthy Farm near Pilton, Somerset. Tickets sold out ahead of the cancelled 2020 festival, though a resale of cancelled tickets will take place before the event.
