Elbow and Easy Life to play Pilton Party 2022

9th August 2022

After a three-year break, Glastonbury Festival’s annual ‘thank you’ fundraising gig for villagers, workers and local people – known as the Pilton Party – returns to Worthy Farm on Friday 2nd September, 2022.

The show will be headlined by Mercury Prize winners Elbow, who played one of the standout Pyramid Stage sets of Glastonbury 2022. They’re joined on the bill by Leicester band Easy Life, who also gave a sparkling Pyramid performance at this year’s Festival.

Support from The Velvet Hands and Inkara.

Following the locals release of Pilton Party tickets on Saturday 6th August, tickets can now be bought in person from the Festival Office on Worthy Farm. 

Tickets are also now available online from See Tickets.
