Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 14:08 · Archive

Glastonbury 2027 tickets sold out in record time, with all three headliners already booked but identities unannounced.

Glastonbury 2027 tickets sold out in a record 42 minutes when released in October, with thousands of fans paying over £400 for attendance despite not knowing who will perform. The festival will take place in June 2027, marking its return after a fallow year in 2026. The last festival took place in summer 2025.

Organiser Emily Eavis has confirmed that all three headliners have already been booked, but their identities will remain secret until spring. This has not stopped widespread speculation about who might perform on the Pyramid Stage, with names from Taylor Swift to Harry Styles being suggested by fans and outlets.

Sam Fender appears to be the strongest contender. The Mail On Sunday reported in October that the Geordie singer had been booked to headline. Fender won the Mercury Prize last year for his album People Watching and has recently achieved record-breaking chart success. He previously performed at Glastonbury in 2022, warming up the stage for headliner Billie Eilish.
