Billie Eilish will make history as she takes to the Pyramid Stage to headline the first major night of Glastonbury festival. No pressure, eh?The 20-year-old Grammy and Brit-Award winner will become the youngest ever solo headliner when she performs alongside her brother and co-writer Finneas O’Connell. The US pop star made her Worthy Farm debut in 2019 when she performed on the Other Stage and treated crowds to a string of tracks such as Bad Guy and You Should See Me In A Crown.
Well acquainted with tour life by now, in the weeks leading up to Glastonbury, she’s played a string of UK and European tour dates and also hosted a climate event, Overheated, at London’s O2 Arena. She also topped the bill at Coachella in the US in April, bringing out guests Khalid and Damon Albarn for a set that thrilled fans and reviewers. So, safe to say, she may be the youngest to ever headline the stage but she’s got the credentials.
And then some. Still, speaking ahead of her momentous slot, Billie admitted she feels ‘undeserving’ of such stages. ‘It’s a serious once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be asked to go to and to do.
And I’m constantly feeling like I’m undeserving of everything, and I think that’s a good thing. I would say that that’s a good thing for the most part. ‘But first of all, it makes you doubt everybody because you’re like, “Why would you choose me?” But with that being said, that’s why I’m even more excited about it and stoked to be the youngest headliner ever,’ she told Matt Wilkinson on his Glastonbury special show on Apple Music 1.
