This year’s festival will mark Dua Lipa’s first Pyramid Stage slot as Friday’s headliner, with the singer slated to perform a month after the release of her upcoming 11-track third studio album, Radical Optimism, which drops on May 3. Veterans Coldplay will topline Saturday night in their first Glasto since 2016, making history as the first group to headline the event five times; SZA will top the roster on Sunday night.

On X, Twain gushed about the booking, calling it “another jewel in my crown. I feel so honoured and so excited about this one! Thinking about what to wear already and tell me, what should we sing together?! Let’s make history with this ultimate dream performance!!” In an accompanying video, the “That Don’t Impress Me Much” singer said, “This is a dream come true! I have been asked about Glastonbury now for years and it’s finally coming together! I’m packing my wellies [rainboots] and my raincoat, and of course, my cowboy hat. So, I’ll see you in the beautiful Somerset countryside this summer.”

Some of the biggest streaming services in music are banding together to fight against a major piece of Canadian arts legislation – in court and in the court of public opinion.

Spotify, Apple, Amazon and others are taking action against the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)’s 2024 decision that major foreign-owned streamers with Canadian revenues over $25 million will have to pay 5% of those revenues into Canadian content funds – what the streamers have termed a “Streaming Tax.”
