Taylor Swift has put paid to weeks of speculation after confirming that she is one of the headline acts at Glastonbury 2020.
The Lover singer announced the news via Instagram, holding up a poster for her upcoming slot which featured the legend: ‘Taylor Made for Glastonbury’.
She added: ‘I’m ecstatic to tell you that I’ll be headlining Glastonbury on its 50th anniversary – See you there!’
Next year’s Glastonbury is certainly set to be a pretty special one – but when does it take place and when is Taylor performing on the legendary Pyramid Stage?
Here’s what you need to know…
When is Glastonbury 2020?
The 50th anniversary Glastonbury Festival will take place at Worthy Farm from 24-28 June.
Tickets for the festival sold out in minutes, although there will be a resale in April if you didn’t get them the first time.
The coach resale will take place on Thursday 16 April, followed by the main resale, on Sunday 19 April 2020.
While the festival may be turning 50 in 2020, it only took place intermittently throughout the 70s before becoming an annual event in 1981.
Since then it has been held most years, although takes a break every few years to allow the ground to recover from being trampled by revellers.
What night is Taylor Swift performing?
Taylor will be performing on the Pyramid Stage on the Sunday night – making her the closing act of this year’s festival.
Organiser Michael Eavis confirmed the news in an online video, saying:
‘I’m so pleased to announce Taylor Swift to be headling the Sunday at Glastonbury this year.
“She’s one of the biggest stars in the world and her songs are absolutely amazing. We’re so delighted.”

‘She’s one of the biggest stars in the world, and she’s young and she’s a fantastic American girl.
‘It’s going to be beautiful and her songs are absolutely amazing. We’re so delighted.’
Who else is performing at Glastonbury 2020?
Sir Paul McCartney has been confirmed as headlining the Pyramid stage on the Friday night of the festival.
He confirmed the news back in November with a cryptic tweet consisting of images of musician Philip Glass, actress Emma Stone and singer Chuck Berry – while Emily Eavis later added:
‘IT’S REAL!! So excited.. Having Paul McCartney coming back to headline the Pyramid next year is an absolute dream come true,’ she wrote on Instagram ‘There really was no one that we wanted more for the 50th anniversary @ Glastonbury Festival.’
Rockers Aerosmith are also set to appear, having self-confirmed the news earlier this month – while Diana Ross is set to take next year’s coveted Legends slot on the Glastonbury stage.
