Stormzy has been confirmed as the first Pyramid Stage headliner for Glastonbury 2019 not long after co-organiser Emily Eavis dropped some big hints about this first bit of news.

Speaking at BBC Music Introducing Live last weekend, she said the event’s Friday headliner ‘hasn’t had a stage like this before’. “We have got one of the artists that I’m most excited about in Britain right now,” she continued. “This to me is going to be a moment. And he can become the enormous person that he is.”

Tame Impala will headline next year’s Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta, Georgia.

The bill’s announcement also adds to the live return of Foals, while Beck, Cage the Elephant and Incubus complete the headliners.

The Vaccines have unveiled a brand new single after releasing their Combat Sports album earlier this year.

All My Friends Are Falling In Love is a collaboration between the band’s frontman Justin Hayward-Young and producers Cole MGN and Daniel Ledinsky.

All Points East organisers have signed up Bon Iver as the second headliner for next year’s festival.

Justin Vernon will be joined at Victoria Park in the spring of 2019 by Mac DeMarco, First Aid Kit, The Tallest Man On Earth, Julien Baker and Snail Mail, as well as John Grant who released his new album Love Is Magic last month.
