Endric Lamar concludes with Glastonbury as the festival’s final headliner the day after Sir Paul McCartney delivers an explosive history-making set.
The US rapper will be the last performer to attend the Pyramid Stage on Sunday, ending the festival at Somerset’s Worthy Farm.
Soul singer Diana Ross is also on the final day invoice to fill the legendary slot for Sunday’s tea time.
Lamar’s next show on the main stage marks his Glastonbury debut.
He is expected to play a variety 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 be the headline for Glastonbury’s 50th Anniversary, but the pandemic caused the festival to face a two-year delay.
On the pyramid stage, you’ll showcase your talents in front of Lamar, including Road, Elbow, Herbie Hancock, DakhaBrakha, and the Black Dyke Band.
In addition, musical stars will appear on multiple stages of the festival, with Pet Shop Boys and Years & Years performing on other stages.
Charli XCX closes the John Peel stage, while Imelda May and McFly both play the Avalon stage, while the electronic duo Bicep graces the Westholtz stage headline.
Sir Paul delivered a history book Glastonbury’s headline set on Saturday night, including a surprise appearance by Bruce Springsteen and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl.
When he went up to the pyramid stage, the former Beatles became the festival’s oldest solo headliner a week after celebrating his 80th birthday.
To commemorate a significant opportunity, Sir Paul treated the masses in the crowd with his own selection of songs and his beloved tracks from The Beatles and his later group Wings.
During the two-hour or longer set, he played a variety of classical songs such as Hey Jude, Blackbird, Live And Let Die, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, and Get Back.
Introducing Groll to the stage and singing I Saw Her Standing There and Band on the Run further amplified the inspiring show.
Following Groll, Sir Paul had another surprise from the East Coast of America when Springsteen went on stage to play Glory Days and I wanted to be your man with him. Announced that there is.
Sir Paul also gave him a piano-led version of my Valentine in a headline set, including dedicating something to his wife Nancy, something to Beatles bandmate George Harrison, and today to John Lennon. I remembered my closest and loved one.
As part of the encore, Sir Paul was able to duet the Beatles track I’ve Got A Feeling with his ex-bandmate on the pyramid stage through a special technology that could separate Lennon’s vocals from old recordings.
To end the historic set, he sang the Beatles song “The End,” and Springsteen and Groll also returned to offer a guitar solo.
Although most of Glastonbury’s headline performance was broadcast live on BBC iPlayer, Sir Paul wasn’t aired on the broadcaster’s channel until an hour after entering the set.
In a statement, the BBC said:
“Paul McCartney’s long-awaited set will air on BBC One and Radio 2 at 10:30 pm and will be available on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds.
“Broadcasting an event of this magnitude is complex and we cover a large amount of performance, so there can be variations between the performance that takes place and its transmission.”
At the beginning of Saturday, the Pyramid Stage hosted a speech by Greta Thamberg, where she called on society to take on “historical responsibility to get things right” in the global climate crisis.
Following Ms. Toonberg’s speech, pop-rock band Heim took the set, and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Bird appeared on the pyramid stage.
Musical stars Heim, AJ Tracey, EasyLife, Joy Crookes and Rare Amazones Duffrick were also held on Saturday at the Pyramid Stage.
American pop star Olivia Rodrigo and rapper Megan Thee Stallion both performed on the other stage, and Mercury-winning Celeste performed on the Westholtz stage.
Irish closed the first day of his performance at Glastonbury with an inspiring headline performance on the Pyramid Stage on Friday.
Her appearance was another milestone at the festival when she became the youngest solo headliner in history at Glastonbury.
