The 19-year-old hitmaker, who sings the theme
tune for the latest James Bond movie "No Time To Die", performed
at the festival's Other Stage in 2019, the last time the major
greenfield music event was held.
It was cancelled last year and this year due to the COVID-19
pandemic, although a virtual event was organised in May.
Eilish, known for songs like "Bad Guy" and "Bury a Friend",
posted a picture of herself on Instagram wearing a Glastonbury
hooded sweatshirt, and writing "2022" on the photo.
"This feels like the perfect way for us to return and I cannot
wait!" Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis said in a statement,
adding Eilish would perform on the main Pyramid stage on June
24.
The festival will be held from June 22 to June 26, and is
already sold out due to deposits for 2020 tickets being rolled
over for a second year, organisers said.
