Here’s the official statement and the first poster

“Following the previously announced Friday night headliner Billie Eilish, and the Sunday teatime legend Diana Ross, we can confirm this year’s final two Pyramid Stage headliners are Paul McCartney (Saturday night) and Kendrick Lamar (Sunday night).

Many more acts and attractions still to be announced! . This year’s Festival will support Oxfam, WaterAid and Greenpeace and other worthy causes including the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.”
