Sir Paul McCartney is reportedly set to headline the Glastonbury Festival a week after his 80th birthday.
The Beatles singer is said to be taking to the festival’s famous Pyramid Stage on the Saturday night, joining fellow headliner Billie Eilish, who is so far the only headline act to be officially confirmed by festival organisers.
This summer’s festival will be the first to take place since 2019. Glastonbury’s 2020 event, which was due to mark the festival’s 50th anniversary and see McCartney perform, was cancelled because of the pandemic, which also hampered any plans to reschedule in 2021.
Taylor Swift was among the headline acts scheduled to perform at the 2020 event, but according to reports, the star has “politely declined” to be part of the festival this year.
However, Diana Ross, who was meant to play the coveted Sunday afternoon Legends slot on the Pyramid Stage, will still perform.
Festival organiser Emily Eavis said the festival’s full line-up will be released this week. US rapper Kendrick Lamar, who was due to be the third headliner in 2020, is the favourite to take the final headline slot this year.
Other acts rumoured to perform include Haim and Noel Gallagher.
Glastonbury Festival is one of the biggest and most respected music festivals in the world. Taking place in the remote village of Pilton in the south west of England, the event has featured performances from artists including The Rolling Stones, Metallica, Dolly Parton, Jay-Z, Beyonce and Stormzy throughout its five-decade run.
This year’s event will return to Worthy Farm from June 22 to June 26. Tickets for the festival are sold out, as organisers have automatically allowed 2020 ticket holders to keep their tickets for the event. However, once the full line-up has been announced, there will likely be a resale of any tickets given back from those who are no longer able to go.

Important questions to consider
1. Where on the plane does my pet travel?
There are different types of travel available for pets:
- Manifest cargo
- Excess luggage in the hold
- Excess luggage in the cabin
Each option is safe. The feasibility of each option is based on the size and breed of your pet, the airline they are traveling on and country they are travelling to.
2. What is the difference between my pet traveling as manifest cargo or as excess luggage?
If traveling as manifest cargo, your pet is traveling in the front hold of the plane and can travel with or without you being on the same plane. The cost of your pets travel is based on volumetric weight, in other words, the size of their travel crate.
If traveling as excess luggage, your pet will be in the rear hold of the plane and must be traveling under the ticket of a human passenger. The cost of your pets travel is based on the actual (combined) weight of your pet in their crate.
3. What happens when my pet arrives in the country they are traveling to?
As soon as the flight arrives, your pet will be taken from the plane straight to the airport terminal.
If your pet is traveling as excess luggage, they will taken to the oversized luggage area in the arrival hall. Once you clear passport control, you will be able to collect them at the same time as your normal luggage. As you exit the airport via the ‘something to declare’ customs channel you will be asked to present your pets travel paperwork to the customs official and / or the vet on duty.
If your pet is traveling as manifest cargo, they will be taken to the Animal Reception Centre. There, their documentation will be reviewed by the staff of the ARC to ensure all is in order. At the same time, relevant customs formalities will be completed by staff based at the arriving airport.
4. How long does the travel paperwork and other travel preparations take?
This depends entirely on the location that your pet is traveling to. Your pet relocation compnay will provide you with an accurate timeline of how long the relevant preparations will take and at what point in the process the various steps must be taken.
In some cases they can get your pet ‘travel ready’ in a few days. In others it can be up to six months or more.
5. What vaccinations does my pet need to travel?
Regardless of where your pet is traveling, they will need certain vaccinations. The exact vaccinations they need are entirely dependent on the location they are traveling to. The one vaccination that is mandatory for every country your pet may travel to is a rabies vaccination.
Other vaccinations may also be necessary. These will be advised to you as relevant. In every situation, it is essential to keep your vaccinations current and to not miss a due date, even by one day. To do so could severely hinder your pets travel plans.
