The test, which those who apply for settlement in the UK must pass, has come under criticism for being “arbitrary” and “misleading”.Glastonbury returns to Worthy Farm from June 26 to 30, with Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA set to headline.

Other confirmed acts include Shania Twain, LCD Soundsystem, Little Simz, The National, Avril Lavigne, The Last Dinner Party, Jungle, Justice, Bloc Party, Fontaines D.C., Yard Act, Arlo Parks and Gossip.This week, organisers revealed the full line-up, complete with stage times and day splits.
