The Glastonbury 2023 headliners have been announced by Emily Eavis.
The festival’s co-organiser shared the news in an article discussing “pipeline” problems related to the all-male headlining line-up.
Joining Elton John will be Arctic Monkeys on the Friday, headlining for their third time, with Guns N’ Roses playing the Saturday slot.
Eavis said that Guns N’ Roses replaced a female singer who “changed her touring plans”.
While Eavis didn’t name names, it’s strongly suspected she was alluding to Taylor Swift, who was originally set to perform in 2020 when the festival was cancelled due to Covid.
However, Eavis expressed excitement about the “Sweet Child O’ Mine” rockers’ Glastonbury debut, telling The Guardian: “They’ll be brilliant and provide something totally different to the rest of the headliners.”
She said that Lizzo will “open” for the band, with the “About Damn Time” singer receiving joint headline billing on the poster.

Alt-j and Danny Brown explore how our governments perpetuate evil in their disturbing, computer-animated video for the Alchemist/Trooko version of “Deadcrush.”
Brown stars in director Jeron Braxton’s warped clip, which draws on the aesthetic of Nineties video games. The piece is filled with demons, mutant dogs and government agents filtering drugs and weapons onto city streets.
In a statement, Braxton said he wanted to “create something that complemented the dark tones” of “Deadcrush.” He added, “Visually the video tells the story of how the CIA introduced old guns...

Pusha-t and Alt-j traverse an uncanny digital world in the new video for their “In Cold Blood” collaboration, which was produced by Twin Shadow for Alt-j’s upcoming remix album, Reduxer, out September 28th.
The “In Cold Blood” clip follows a digitized version of Pusha-t as he navigates a surreal world built out of choppy, old school 3D animation. Halfway through the video, the rapper seems to uncover a crystal that transports him into a slightly different universe, which the clip’s director, Osean, said was meant to represent the...
