Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar to headline resurgent Glastonbury

As the festival returns from Covid-enforced hiatus, over half of the acts announced so far feature women

Paul McCartney, Kendrick Lamar and Olivia Rodrigo have been announced as among the stars performing at this summer's Glastonbury festival.

Out of the 89 names announced so far, 48 are women or acts that include female artists, meeting festival co-organiser Emily Eavis's previously stated intention for Glastonbury to achieve gender parity on its bill. Our future has to be 50/50," she told the BBC in 2020.
