Glastonbury Festival 2022 was always going to be memorable. After a three-year hiatus, the world-famous music extravaganza opened its gates once more to welcome music lovers and performers back to Worthy Farm in Somerset.

In the run-up to the festival, the spectacular range of performers was all anyone could talk about: Billie Eilish becoming the youngest-ever headliner at the age of 20 and Beatles legend Paul McCartney at four times her age becoming the oldest. Motown icon Diana Ross would be playing the teatime Legends slot on Sunday, while the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Megan Thee Stallion and Olivia Rodrigo were bringing immense star power to the line-up. By all accounts, the festival would be history in the making.
