When was the last Glastonbury? Who played festival pre-Covid, lineup with Billie Eilish - when was the first

Glastonbury Festival is back, with fans once again descending on Worthy Farm in Somerset.

This year headliners include Sir Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar.

The iconic festival is the most important event in the music calendar.

But how long has it been since we last went to Glastonbury?

Here’s everything you need to know.

When was the last Glastonbury Festival?

The last Glastonbury Festival took place from the 26th to 30th June, 2019.

It was the last in-person festival since the Covid-19 pandemic.

Who headlined at Glastonbury 2019?

The 2019 lineup included festival headliners Stormzy, The Killers and The Cure.

Whereas the legends slot went to the iconic Australian pop star Kylie and “Wrecking Ball” singer Miley Cyrus.

This was the second time that The Killer’s headlined the famous festival, with them previously rocking the Pyramid Stage in 2007.

Frontman Brandon Flowers told NME that the band had “unfinished business.”

Flowers explained: There were some sound restrictions which have since gone away, and we had the PA cut out a couple of times.

“I think we can do better. We’ve played about 700 shows since then so we’re a better band with more songs now.

“We appreciate the tradition and what it means to headline Glastonbury. It’s huge. I used to buy NME Magazine while growing up in Vegas and I remember cutting out an aerial picture of Glastonbury and putting it on my wall.”
