And for both stints at the festival, the Arctic Monkeys held the iconic Friday night slot, making this their third Friday night headlining performance.
Whereas this will be the first ever Glasto stint for US rock band Guns ‘N’ Roses.
Just the other week, bassist Duff McKagan accidentally confirmed the band would perform at Glastonbury for the first time this summer when he spoke on the radio and said: “Glastonbury is gonna be iconic”.
Although most fans are overjoyed with the lineup, some are disappointed that the three main headline acts are men, with Lizzo opening for Guns ‘N’ Roses on the Saturday and falling short of a headline performance herself.
