Lamar’s show on the main stage will mark his Glastonbury debut.
He is expected to play a range of hit tracks including songs from his recently released fifth studio album Mr Morale & The Big Steppers.
It was announced in 2020 that the Grammy-winning singer would headline Glastonbury’s 50th-anniversary event, but the festival has faced two years of delays owing to the pandemic.
The Pyramid Stage will host an array of talent before Lamar including Lorde, Elbow, Herbie Hancock, DakhaBrakha and Black Dyke Band.
There will also be musical stars across the festival’s many stages, with the Pet Shop Boys and Years & Years performing on the Other Stage.
While electronic duo Bicep will headline the West Holts Stage, Charli XCX will close the John Peel Stage and Imelda May and McFly will both play the Avalon Stage.
On Saturday evening, Sir Paul delivered a Glastonbury headline set for the history books, which included surprise appearances from Bruce Springsteen and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl.
As he took to the Pyramid Stage, the former Beatle became the festival’s oldest solo headliner, a week after he celebrated his 80th birthday.
To mark the momentous occasion, Sir Paul treated the masses in the crowd to a selection of his own songs as well as beloved tracks by The Beatles and from his later group Wings.
Despite the majority of the Glastonbury headline performances being shown live on the BBC iPlayer, Sir Paul did not appear on the broadcaster’s channels until an hour into his set.
In a statement, the BBC said: “This year we are delighted to bring audiences our most extensive coverage of Glastonbury to date.
“Paul McCartney’s much-anticipated set was broadcast on BBC One at 10.30pm as well as on Radio 2 and will be available on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds.
“Due to the complexity of broadcasting an event of this scale and the volume of performances we cover, there is sometimes variation between performances taking place and their transmission.”
Earlier on Saturday, the Pyramid Stage hosted a speech by Greta Thunberg where she called on society to take on its “historic responsibility to set things right” with the global climate crisis.
Thunberg’s speech was followed by a set by pop-rock band Haim, with Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds taking to the Pyramid Stage after them.
The Pyramid Stage also hosted musical stars Haim, AJ Tracey, Easy Life, Joy Crookes and Les Amazones d’Afrique on Saturday.
US pop star Olivia Rodrigo and rapper Megan Thee Stallion both played on the Other Stage, while Mercury-winner Celeste played the West Holts Stage.
Billie Eilish gave an electrifying headline performance on the Pyramid Stage on Friday to end the first day of performances at Glastonbury.
Her appearance was another landmark moment for the festival as she became Glastonbury’s youngest-ever solo headliner.
