Stormzy, real name Michael Omari, joins Kendrick Lamar, Madonna, and more as rumoured artists to perform at Glastonbury 2019.
Stormzy has been tipped to headline Glastonbury 2019 on Friday following a series of rumours online.
The festival’s organiser Emily Eavis confirmed that the mystery performer is male and “one of the most exciting acts in British music.”
She also added that the headline slot is a chance for “him” to finally become the “massive name that they can be.”
Festivals website eFestivals has also ‘confirmed’ that Stormzy will be headline Glastonbury at Worthy Farm in 2019.
They suggested that they had evidence that Stormzy would perform on Friday, with Childish Gambino or Liam Gallagher also on the bill.
Stormzy performed at Glastonbury’s Other Stage during his latest appearance at the music festival.
Following the rumours, some fans have taken to social media to express their opinions.
So there is a high chance Stormzy is the Friday night headliner for Glastonbury and I’ve seen people kicking off saying they are not going any more.

Find it hilarious that people are moaning about Stormzy allegedly headlining Glastonbury. Jeez not everybody wants to see Foo Fighters and Muse headline for the 7th year in a row

I’m sorry but Stormzy isn’t big enough to headline Glastonbury...

Stormzy for Glastonbury Friday I’m hearing. If so, I’m gutted that I won’t be making a return to Worthy Farm.

Stormzy headlining Glastonbury on the Friday would be truly epic. We already know his stage show is incredible and with new music on the way I think he’d absolutely smash it

Stormzy for Glastonbury? Looking forward to seeing all the guitar music mob contort themselves into coming up with reasons why 'that sort' of artist shouldn't headline.
