The three acts will join Billie Eilish, Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar for Glastonbury 2022 which runs June 22-26.

It has been announced that West Holts Stage of Glastonbury 2022 will be headlined by Irish artists Róisín Murphy and Bicep as well as British rapper Little Simz.

This news is the latest to emerge from the Worthy Farm festival, which will be back in full swing June 22-26. Also confirmed are the West Holts Stage's day acts:

Sleaford Mods, TLC, and Bonobo will perform before Little Simz Friday, June 24.

On Saturday, June 25, Róisín Murphy's headline will be preceded by Black Midi, Caribou, Celeste, and Leon Bridges. You can also catch the singer at the Body & Soul festival taking place June 17-19 at the Ballinlough Castle Estate. She will headline Saturday night, performing her fifth solo album, Róisín Machine.

For the festival's final day - Sunday June 26 - performances from Nubya Garcia, Emma-Jean Thackray, Koffee, and Angélique Kidjo will lead up to Bicep's closing act. Bicep will be playing the Forbidden Fruit festival June 4 as well.

Other Irish acts performing include Fontaines D.C., Inhaler, Joy Crookes, Idles, and The Waterboys.

“West Holts is back, literally larger than ever and ready to take another musical trip through the best weekend of our lives," says the Glastonbury website,

“West Holts hosts an outernational soundclash of beats, bass, rhythms and rhymes. It’s a place to catch some of the most lauded names in jazz, electronica, reggae, R&B, rap and beyond. At night it’s generally party central, but the days offer a finely curated mix of acts that swings from the familiar to the far out.

It’s not just the music that pulls people to West Holts, though. The field always has a great vibe, assisted by a couple of choice bars and some of the best food stalls on site.”
