The official line-up was announced earlier this month, with fans set to be treated to headline sets from the likes of Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA this year.

Shania Twain will also be performing in the traditional Sunday Legends slot, while Nigerian sensation Tems, indie rockers The Zutons, Liverpudlian singer Jamie Webster and rising star Rachel Chinouriri will also appear.

And we're also bound to see some secret acts. Last year saw the Foo Fighters drop in to play a few songs, despite not appearing on the official line-up.

Rumours are rife about which acts could arrive for unexpected performances this year, with some fans convinced that Girls Aloud could appear during Dua Lipa’s headline slot, thanks to a gap in their touring schedule.

But for now, read on for everything we know so far about the official line-up, as well as 2024 dates and tickets.

The festival will take place from Wednesday 26th to Sunday 30th June in 2024.

Last year's festival saw Elton John, Guns N' Roses and Arctic Monkeys leading the charge for the event, while artists including Rick Astley, Lil Nas X, Blondie, Aitch, Lizzo and Lewis Capaldi also performed.

Festival organiser Emily Eavis recently confirmed that a fallow year looks likely to take place in 2026.

Speaking on the BBC's Sidetracked podcast, she said: "I have a kind of vague idea in my head of who is gonna be doing it this year. And then we might do a fallow year after that. We are due a fallow year.

"The fallow year is important because it gives the land a rest, and it gives the cows a chance to stay out for longer and reclaim their land.

"I think it’s important, I think it gives everybody time to just switch off and the public as well. It is a lot, isn't it? Then you kind of go away for a bit and it feels lovely when you come back. And I think it’s quite good not [to] seem to be cashing in."
