I love Coldplay and the fact that they have secured their position as the act with the most headlining spots at Glastonbury is delightful. This marks their fifth appearance at the top, while Shania Twain is set to grace the stage during the revered Sunday teatime ‘legend’ set as part of the festival’s recently revealed lineup.
The first #Glastonbury 2024 poster has been released!
Many more acts are still to be announced.

Also, I’m excited to share that Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA will be the headliners for Glastonbury 2024. This lineup showcases a fantastic array of A-list artists, supported by an impressive roster including Little Simz, LCD Soundsystem, Burna Boy, and Shania Twain taking on the cherished ‘legend’ slot.
This year’s festival will be just as big as Glastonbury 2023.

Dua Lipa, coming off the announcement of her third album ‘Radical Optimism,’ which has already produced global hits, says it was inspired by enduring chaos with grace and the musical influences of psychedelia, trip-hop, and Britpop. Her first Glastonbury performance was in 2016, and by 2017, she had a breakout moment on the John Peel stage, proving Glastonbury’s commitment to pop.
SZA, taking the stage at Glastonbury for the first time, jumps straight to headliner status, a testament to her meteoric rise. Her 2022 album ‘SOS’ has been celebrated for its detailed exploration of relationship woes, winning her three Grammys and reaching the top of the charts.
As if that wasn’t enough, Shania Twain will also light up Sunday teatime in the ‘legend’ slot, following in the footsteps of iconic performances by Diana Ross, Kylie Minogue, and Dolly Parton. Following a highly praised UK arena tour, Twain sees this booking as a significant accolade.
If you can’t be there live, join me on BBC Sounds and BBC iPlayer June 26th-30th June 2024 to enjoy this musical extravaganza.
Mind you, Glastonbury 2024 tickets have been completely sold out. However, a resale of any tickets that are canceled or returned will take place in April 2024.
