Billie made her Glastonbury debut in 2019 when she performed on the Other Stage and treated crowds to a string of tracks including Bad Guy and You Should See Me In A Crown.

Eilish’s mum Maggie Baird says her daughter’s history-making set at Glastonbury is “definitely amazing but very hard to process at the same time”.

As well as Billie Eilish, the line-up for the Pyramid Stage on Friday includes Sam Fender, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Wolf Alice, Crowded House and Rufus Wainwright.

There will also be a performance from Eurovision winners Kalush Orchestra, marking their first performance in the UK since their win in Turin last month.

The Met Office said “It’s going to be a fairly cloudy start to the morning. There is going to be a few showers around but on the light side generally, so a bit of a cloudy, damp start to the day but quite a warm start with temperatures around 16C.“
