The Glastonbury Festival will feature notable headliners like The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo, alongside various other acts. Irish rap group Kneecap faces controversy, particularly criticism from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer regarding their performance due to a recent legal issue involving allegations of promoting a terrorist organization. Despite this, Glastonbury co-organizer Emily Eavis maintains that the festival is a welcoming platform for diverse artists. Other performers include Snow Patrol, Charli XCX, and The Prodigy, set to wrap up the festival after their first appearance since a frontman's death in 2019.
Emily Eavis, Glastonbury co-organiser, stated that despite the controversy, Kneecap is welcome at the festival as it is a platform for artists from all over the world.
Keir Starmer expressed his disapproval of Kneecap's planned performance at Glastonbury, calling it 'inappropriate' due to the band's recent legal troubles involving support for a proscribed terrorist organization.
