Get your wellies out and plan what’s going on that massive flag, because Glastonbury Festival is back for 2024! From the 26th to the 30th of June, thousands of music lovers will gather at Worthy Farm in Pilton to see music acts from across the globe. And with the line-up newly announced, this year’s event will be as big as ever.
Big news for Dua Lipa, the first of 3 headliners this year. She has previously played at the festival, but on smaller stages, this year taking to the iconic Pyramid Stage. Reportedly she booked the gig after announcing her new album Radical Optimism, which we can assume will be the basis of her set, alongside the classic Dua pop hits.
Next up is Coldplay. You can lie all you like, but everyone loves a bit of Coldplay! This news seems surprising after lead singer Chris Martin reported back in 2016 that they would not play this festival again, after reading hateful comments online. However, as veterans to this iconic event, fans are excited to hear some classics coming from this legendary British band.
Our final headline act is SZA. After an incredible year for her, beating out the likes of Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo for Best International Artist at the Brits 2024, there is no wonder why this pop sensation will be hitting the Pyramid Stage. This 3-time Grammy winner will show her fellow headliners some competition foe best set at this year’s Glastonbury – especially if she brings out the big guns such as Kill Bill!
Another star has been announced for the coveted ‘legend slot’ on the Sunday afternoon – Shania Twain! The country/pop icon reports it’s been difficult to keep the news a secret, explaining the only advice she has been given is to “bring her wellies”!
Glastonbury Festival is one of the biggest music gigs worldwide, and these headliners seem fit to represent it well! I, personally, am excited to see a mix of new and old artists hit the Pyramid Stage for what will, most likely, be another rainy, yet memorable week!
