      Lorde has expressed that she is “pretty keen” to perform at Glastonbury this summer.

      The festival’s extensive lineup has been announced, featuring intriguing ‘TBA’ entries in some slots. Speculation is buzzing about who might make a surprise appearance at Worthy Farm – will HAIM return to the UK? Could Pulp mark their second act with a moment at Glastonbury?

      

      Lorde’s name has been a topic of discussion, as the New Zealand artist is set to release her highly anticipated album ‘Virgin’ on June 27th.

      The singer has a long-standing relationship with the festival, having last performed there in 2022 – might she make a comeback?

      During an interview on her show last night (June 5th), Radio 2 host Jo Whiley posed the question to Lorde, who replied: “You know, I’m pretty keen honestly. I feel like… ‘cause the album’s gonna be coming out right around that time.”

      “I am quite tempted by what’s going on because I’ve got lots of friends playing as well; we’ll see, we’ll see if I can pull some strings and get there.”

      You can listen to the interview here – https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002cmmq – which starts at 1:12:30.
