Guns N’ Roses appear to have been confirmed as headliners for the 2023 edition of Glastonbury, with the news thanks to bassist Duff McKagan. The festival will take place from 21st to 25th June in Somerset, England, with the only headline act confirmed so far being Elton John.
As NME reports, McKagan was discussing Guns N’ Roses’ upcoming plans on his Three Chords & The Truth radio program recently when he appeared to let the secret slip. In addition to mention of a performance at London’s Hyde Park on 30th June, McKagan closed the conversation by simply noting “…and Glastonbury is gonna be iconic” without any further elaboration.

SELF CONFIRM Guns N’ Roses have never performed at the iconic Glastonbury festival, but have been strongly rumoured in recent years, with organiser Emily Eavis stating in 2021 that the band “need to play” the festival at some point. Alongside the Los Angeles rockers, Arctic Monkeys are also strongly rumoured to appear as a headline act, though full confirmation won’t arrive until the lineup drops in the coming weeks.
The 2022 edition of Glastonbury was the first to be held since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and featured Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish, and Kendrick Lamar. The linrup also boasted a strong Australian contingent including Crowded House, Courtney Barnett, Amyl & The Sniffers, and Confidence Man.
