Time To Plan Your Glastonbury 2022 Clashes!

Glastonbury Festival have now released stage times across all stages for the 2022 edition, and as exciting as that is it’s also now time to cry a little. Those pesky clashes are, of course, expected but oh so very annoying!

Why should we have to choose between Wolf Alice, Supergrass and Girl In Red? Billie Eilish, Foals, or Primal Scream? Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Sigrid or 2021 Mercury Prize winner Arlo Parks? And that’s just on day one. But with so many, many ridiculously amazing acts playing over the three full festival days and each stage itself operating as its own mini-festival, this was always going to be the case. Oh Glastonbury, you do spoil us so.

Saturday doesn’t get much better for clash-avoiding, with the likes of former Pyramid Stage headliners Skunk Anansie storming The Other Stage while rising star Holly Humberstone takes over the John Peel, both at the same time as Pacific Northwesterner Laura Veirs plays the Acoustic. Later in the day we find Californian sister trio Haim making their Pyramid Stage debut at the same time as Mercury Prize-nominated Celeste takes over West Holts and the legendary Tony Christie leads proceedings on the Acoustic.

Noel Gallagher’s High-Flying Birds compete for your attention on the Pyramid with chart-topping American teen Olivia Rodrigo on The Other and Atlanta-hailing soul star Leon Bridges over at West Holts before we have to choose between Paul McCartney, Megan Thee Stallion, Róisín Murphy, Jamie T, Jessie Ware and The Hoosiers spanning the other main stages. It’s exhausting just thinking about it!

We can go into Sunday’s clashes, but by this stage I’m crying into my cornflakes at having to pick between the wonderful Elbow and the enigmatic Country Music superstar Kacey Musgraves.

You can plan your own festival clashes when the official Glastonbury app from mobile telecoms partner EE is released on 6th June. Or if you simply can’t wait to feel the pain, head over to https://clashfinder.com/m/g2022 where some helpful folks have pulled together the program of events.

Glasto 2022 Lineup

Of course, there are spots for some TBA acts, as always. We’ve seen morning, late-notice sets from the likes of Vampire Weekend on The Park as well as acts who go on to headline the following year over on The John Peel. So keep your eyes and ears peeled!

The Libertines have already been announced to open The Other Stage on Friday with a morning set and the wonderful Melanie C (my favourite Spice Girl!) will be having some fun on the decks in place of Power Ballads over at Williams Green on Thursday ahead of what is always a fun evening of live music surprises.

The Long Road Festival 2026 – Day Two: – Who Needs Sunshine When You’ve Got Ronnie Wood?

If Friday had been about The Long Road Festival fighting the weather, Saturday began with everyone looking at the sky and wondering whether we were about to do the whole thing again. Unfortunately, we were.

The Long Road Festival 2026 – Day One: Come Rain, Shine Or Biblical Thunder

Last year, The Long Road Festival takes place a week earlier in August and, had it done the same this year, Stanford Hall would probably have been basking in the heatwave temperatures and sun-scorched grass that have defined much of the British summer. But The Long Road has become synonymous with the August Bank Holiday weekend and, right on cue, as thousands of country fans begin arriving in Leicestershire, the heavens decide to open.

Natalie Imbruglia @ CIRCUIT Kingston (Kalpesh Patel)

Natalie Imbruglia Makes Kingston’s Circuit Her Own At Intimate ‘Algorithm’ Launch

There is something wonderfully disarming about seeing Natalie Imbruglia on a stage this small. At The Circuit in Kingston, the singer-songwriter is close enough to her audience to make eye contact with people in the front row, close enough to laugh with them and, crucially, close enough for the nerves of the evening to be impossible to disguise.

EELS Share New Track ‘Congratulations To Me’ Ahead Of 16th Studio Album ‘Cookie Happened’

EELS have shared their new track Congratulations To Me, offering another glimpse into their forthcoming 16th studio album, Cookie Happened, which arrives on 16th October via E Works / Play It Again Sam. The latest song finds E, the creative force behind EELS and the stage name of singer, songwriter and producer Mark Oliver Everett, looking at one of life’s more unexpected turning points: the moment when you finally realise that some things simply are not worth taking so seriously.
