Róisín Murphy is the latest star to be added to the line-up for the upcoming Glastonbury livestream event.
In lieu of the annual festival, which has been axed for a second year amid the pandemic, organisers are hosting ‘Live at Worthy Farm’ – a virtual gig headlined by Coldplay, Blur’s Damon Albarn and Haim.
And it’s since been confirmed that Róisín, who recently released her remix album ‘Crooked Machine’, and singer-songwriter George Ezra are the latest musicians to join the line-up of performers for the five-hour spectacle.
“I’m very happy to announce that I’ll be performing at this month’s @glastonbury#LiveAtWorthyFarm global livestream,” tweeted the Something More hitmaker.
