Nineteen-year-old pop singer Billie Eilish has broken numerous records in her short career. Now she will become the Glastonbury Festival's youngest-ever solo headliner when she takes the stage at the 2022 event.
Eilish teased the news on Instagram, posing herself wearing a Glastonbury hoodie in a photo captioned "2022". The festival's organisers confirmed that the American singer will perform on June 24.
"This feels like the perfect way for us to return and I cannot wait!" organiser Emily Eavis said.

The festival was supposed to celebrate its 50th anniversary last year, but it was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. This year it hosted a five-hour livestream event featuring Coldplay and Damon Albarn, among others.
