“This will be the final UK show of Elton’s last ever tour, so we will be closing the Festival and marking this huge moment in both of our histories with the mother of all send-offs.”
She added: “We are so very happy to finally bring the Rocket Man to Worthy Farm!”
Fans have showed similar excitement, with one writing on Instagram: “Now that is a headliner,” while another added: “This has made my year. I CANNOT WAIT.”

Another person shared: “The moment we’ve waited years for down on the farm!”
“I’ve honest never exclaimed a Glastonbury headliner with as much excitement as I just did,” one fan said. “And this will be my 9th!”
A Glastonbury community account wrote: “The fact we get to celebrate his career with him in this way is just incredible! This will be a match made in festival heaven.”
Talking about Elton headlining #Glastonbury all morning, and it’s making me so emotional each time.
The fact that we get to celebrate his career with him in this way is just incredible! This will be a match made in festival heaven ❤️💫🤩🚀 @glastonbury #EltonJohn @eltonofficial— Glastopia (@Glastopia) December 2, 2022
Another person replied to the announcement that “even if you subjectively don’t like his music” it’s “one of the most significant musical acts in the UK ever and his last ever show on these isles”.
Cant argue with that – even if you subjectively dont like his music its one of the most significant musical acts in the UK ever and its his last ever show on these isles. If its not your thing, there are 50+ other stages to choose from 👏🏼

Speaking to NME for a Big Read cover feature last year around the release of his collaborative album ‘The Lockdown Sessions’, Elton John said that he was determined to finish his ‘Farewell…’ tour – and that it will also certainly be his last.
