Equinox, a mooted one-day event for September 2020, was also pulled. Ash frontman Tim Wheeler was 20 years and five months.Įilish is the first headliner to be announced for the 2022 festival – which Glastonbury organisers are counting on being a successful comeback after Covid led to the cancellation of the 20 events. The youngest performer ever to headline Glastonbury was Mark Hamilton of UK band Ash, who was approximately 20 years and three months old when the group replaced Steve Winwood as headliner in 1997. Eilish’s lyrics commented on the difficulties of her extreme fame, including maintaining personal and romantic relationships and trusting others, and frequently explored a softer, more classic sound indebted to Peggy Lee and Frank Sinatra than her frequently abrasive debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, released in 2019.Įilish will be 20 years and six months old when she headlines the festival. During her set, she lamented that she would never be able to experience the festival as a punter: “This looks fun to go to – I would love to go to this shit, my God.”Įarlier this year she released her second album, Happier Than Ever, to widespread acclaim. The festival co-organiser Emily Eavis said she “couldn’t be happier” to confirm the news: “This feels like the perfect way for us to return and I cannot wait!”Įilish made her Glastonbury debut in 2019, performing to a jam-packed Other stage on the Sunday afternoon after her set was upgraded from a slot on the John Peel stage. Well, that’s one way to die.Billie Eilish teases her Glastonbury 2022 headline slot. Said creature continues to wrap itself around Eilish’s body, nearly paralyzing her as she barely eeks out the song’s devastating lyrics. Eilish’s team tells Bustle that the video features a real 80-pound anaconda and was shot in Simi Valley, Calif. It starts off with her voice singing over a vast desert landscape, before the camera zooms in and reveals her sitting on a ledge - while the hugest snake you’ll ever see in your lifetime crawls over her. The video, which is Eilish’s fourth self-directed music video, takes the song’s meaning and gives it a death-defying visual. “This is about many different situations that we’ve all either witnessed or experienced.
“I feel very vulnerable putting this one out because I hold it so close to my heart,” she wrote. Billie Eilish stops mid-performance at Texas music festival: 'My fking choice' Billie Eilish spoke out against Texas' abortion law during a performance at Austin City Limits music festival. Eilish sings from the perspective of the victim, sternly warning, “Try not to abuse your power.” She opened up about the track’s meaning on Instagram, saying it was inspired by universal experiences and calling it one of her favorite songs she’s ever written. Over delicate guitar strings, “Your Power” tells the story of an adult who takes advantage of their all-too-young partner. However, both the song and video tell a much scarier story than the album’s title suggests. Eilish fulfilled her promise of delivering new music with the release of “Your Power,” the latest single from her just-announced sophomore album Happier Than Ever. Warning: Do not watch Billie Eilish’s new video if you’re deathly afraid of snakes (like me).
