Rihanna may be headlining Glastonbury 2023

Glastonbury 2023 tickets have officially sold out.
The music festival returns to Worthy Farm next summer from Wednesday 21 June to Sunday 25 June and as always it was difficult to secure tickets to the popular event.
Glastonbury said: “Thank you to everyone who bought one and we’re sorry to those of you who missed out, on a morning when demand far exceeded supply. There will be a resale of any cancelled or returned tickets in spring 2023.”
It came after around an hour of disappointing waiting, refreshing pages and there were even reports of the website crashing at the point of entering card details.
It has been a nightmare, as usual, and so people have done what they know best - go on Twitter to have a moan about the painful process.

Nope, I didn't get a ticket either and I'm fuming. I don't want to talk about it! But at least we have memes to get us through.
