‘We’re trying our best,’ says organiser as she unveils first 55 names on 2023 lineup and calls on music industry to develop headline-worthy female acts
Festivals are struggling with a dearth of viable female headliners owing to an industry “pipeline” problem, Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis said as the festival announced a lineup of all-white, all-male headliners for this year’s event.
Following the news that Elton John would conclude the 2023 edition on Sunday, Eavis confirmed that Arctic Monkeys would headline Friday, their third time closing the Pyramid stage, while Guns N’ Roses would make their Worthy Farm debut on Saturday.
