Glastonbury 2027 Headliner Speculation Grows as Festival Returns After Fallow Year

Glastonbury Festival will come back in 2027 after skipping 2026. Fans are buzzing about who might top the bill. The Somerset gathering attracts over 200,000 people each June. It's one of the planet's most watched stages for musicians.

The 2025 lineup featured The 1975, Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts, and Olivia Rodrigo. It also included pop, indie, hip-hop, and electronic acts.

Harry Styles is a top candidate, despite never playing the event before. The former One Direction member became a global star with his 2022 release, Harry's House, which included the Hot 100 chart-topper, "As It Was." His Together, Together stadium tour concluded this summer, leaving a gap in his schedule for next summer.

The Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood told NME in 2023 that "it's a must" to headline Glastonbury again. Singer Mick Jagger discussed the band's desire to tour again while promoting new LP, Foreign Tongues. Their 2013 appearance remains one of the most talked-about sets in the event's history.

Fred again.. delivered an Other Stage set in 2023 that drew crowds spilling into adjoining fields. Electronic headliners are rare at the event. Basement Jaxx was the last such act in 2005.

Olivia Dean performed a mid-afternoon Pyramid Stage slot in 2024 before her The Art of Loving campaign delivered six sold-out nights at The O2 and a GRAMMY for best new artist. Dean said, "I will headline Glastonbury one day," according to SE7EN.
