Glastonbury Festival 2023

Elton John was announced as the festival's Sunday night headliner on 2 December 2022. It is John's first time headlining Glastonbury and his final ever UK show, acting as the last performance of the UK leg of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour. A statement released by Emily Eavis as part of the announcement read: "It gives me enormous pleasure to let you know that the one and only Elton John will be making his first ever Glastonbury appearance, headlining the Pyramid Stage on the Sunday night next year. 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. We are so very happy to finally bring the Rocket Man to Worthy Farm!"{{cite web|url=https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/elton-john-to-headline-sunday-at-glastonbury-2023/|title=Elton John to headline Sunday at Glastonbury 2023|date=2 December 2022|work=Glastonburyfestivals.co.uk|access-date=1 June 2023}}
