The line-up for Glastonbury 2024 is officially here, and we once again are experiencing FOMO (fear of missing out).
This year’s edition of Glastonbury is headlined by two British pop icons: Dua Lipa and Coldplay, American R&B superstar SZA, and Canadian country queen Shania Twain. Lipa will headline on Friday night (28 June), Coldplay on Saturday, and SZA on Sunday, while Twain will perform during the Sunday Legends slot.
Aside from the headliners, the line-up is typically stacked, featuring the likes of legends PJ Harvey, LCD Soundsystem, The National, Cyndi Lauper, The Streets, Sugababes, Orbital, Bloc Party and Justice.
Aussies Confidence Man will take the Other Stage alongside the likes of Idles, Disclosure, Two Door Cinema Club, The Last Dinner Party, Nothing But Thieves, Bombay Bicycle Club, and more.
Elsewhere on the line-up, Mercury Prize winner Little Simz will perform her biggest Glastonbury set to date, while Afrobeats star Burna Boy, singer and actress Janelle Monáe, Jessie Ware, Arlo Parks, experimental folk act Heilung, Nia Archives, Danny Brown, Sleaford Mods, James Blake, two-thirds of The xx – Jamie xx and Romy – Mannequin Pussy, Fontaines D.C., The Breeders and Aurora are set to perform.
Eliza Rose, Faithless, Bonobo, and more will bring electronic music to Worthy Farm. This is only the first line-up announcement, with many more acts to be revealed in the coming months. You can check out the line-up poster below.

Of course, Glastonbury 2024 is already sold out, with punters buying tickets to the UK festival before the line-up even drops. However, 20 pairs can apply for a prize draw that raises emergency funds for those affected by conflict across the globe. You can enter the prize draw here.
On Instagram, festival organiser Emily Eavis wrote, “I’m so happy to be able to bring you the first shortlist of artists for Glastonbury 2024. There is even more to come over the coming weeks, when we will be bringing you the full line ups for each area.”
Coldplay are officially the first act to headline Glastonbury five times (after headlining 2002, 2005, 2011 and 2016), Dua Lipa is headlining for the first time, SZA will make her Glastonbury debut, while Shania Twain follows the footsteps of Lionel Richie and Dolly Parton during the Legends slot.
Last year’s Glastonbury was headlined by Arctic Monkeys, Elton John and Guns N’ Roses, while Foo Fighters performed a surprise set.
