TL;DR – it’s stacked.
Last week, Paul McCartney seemingly confirmed himself as a Glastonbury 2022 headliner, after posting a not exactly subtle message on social media.
The post, which aped a Wordle score tweet, read “Wordle 121 25/6,” with five green squares.

At the time, it was 121 days until 25th June – which fell within the Glastonbury ‘period’, suggesting Macca would be topping the Pyramid Stage on the Saturday of the event – something confirmed today.
Glastonbury Festival takes place on Worthy Farm, Pilton between 22nd and 26th June 2022.
