Billy Isle Will Be The Youngest Headliner At The Glastonbury Festival.
Key Sentence:
- Billy Isle has been announced as the first headliner for the 2022 Glastonbury Festival.
- The pop star first hinted at the news on Instagram, where he posed with a Glastonbury hat that read “2022”.
Glastonbury organizer Emily Ivis later confirmed the reservation, saying the 20-year-old was “the youngest solo headliner in our history.””It feels like the perfect way to come back, and I can’t wait!” Ailish will also be the first female headliner since 2016 – although Taylor Swift will have to play in 2020 before the Covid pandemic ends the summer festival season.
Glastonbury was also canceled that year, Billy Isle although organizers held virtual events with Coldplay, Wolf Alice, and Jorja Smith. Ailish’s first appearance at Glastonbury in 2019 was hailed as a win by critics.
NME called it a “once in a generation” show, while Variety called it a “charming” and “life-affirming” show.
Dressed in a Stella McCartney outfit, the singer Billy Isle moved across the stage. While fans sang every word of songs like Bad Guy, All The Good Girls Go To Hell, and You Should ask Me Me In A Crown. During Ocean Eyes, he sat cross-legged on stage and urged fans to pay close attention to the show.
“If you want to take a picture of me, that’s fine – just put the phone upcoming to your face and look me in the eye. “Because we’re here together now, and this is the first time we’ve come together. He needn’t have worried. Around 40,000 enthusiastic fans watched their every move. Not bad, considering their kit was upgraded by a 10,000 capacity John Peel tent just weeks before the festival.
Since then, Ailish has won multiple Brit awards and Grammys for her debut album When We All Fall Asleep Where Do Go and recently topped the charts with Happier Than Ever. Last week the star was in London for the premiere of the James Bond film No Time To Die, for which he wrote the theme song.
Davis, who tried to see Ailish sideways on stage in 2019, said she was “so happy” to meet the star at Worthy Farm.
The festival has also released its first poster for 2022 … with just one name. Isle will be 20 years and six months old when he takes the stage at the Pyramids next June. Just three months older than Mark Hamilton of Northern Irish band Ash when he took the stage in 1997.
