Every year, behemoth UK festival Glastonbury boasts insane lineups with countless acts “across more than one hundred” stages. It seems that 2015 is no different with an initial roster including Kanye West, Foo Fighters, The Who, Belle and Sebastian, Florence + The Machine, Ryan Adams, and Run the Jewels, just to name a few. That’s more than enough to get someone out into a muddy English field, right? Well, earlier this week, Glasto sweetened the pot by announcing that they snagged the supreme festival performer: Stephen Hawking.
Yes, the world-renowned and universally loved physicist/cosmologist/author will make his way to the usually sleepy town of Somerset to perform at the fest’s hilariously named stage “Kidz Field.” While it hasn’t explicitly been stated what Hawking will be talking about, his booking on the Kidz Field ensures that his set (which hopefully includes this) will be focused and created for children twelve and under…and everyone else who doesn’t quite understand his fields of quantum gravity and general relativity.
Day lineups and set times for Glastonbury 2015 haven’t been announced yet, but we already feel bad for whoever is pitted against one of the greatest living minds on earth.
