With Glastonbury Festival taking a break in 2026 for a fallow year, all eyes are already turning to the much-anticipated return to Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, in 2027. Music fans are buzzing with predictions and bookmakers have opened the betting on who will grace the iconic Pyramid Stage.
The 2025 Glastonbury festival saw memorable performances from headliners The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo, with a "legends" slot filled by Sir Rod Stewart, who brought out guests Lulu and Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones. Surprise sets from Pulp, Lorde, Haim, and a DJ duo of Fatboy Slim and his son Woody also kept the crowds entertained.
Looking ahead to 2027, bookmakers like William Hill have already released their odds. North Shields' own Sam Fender is the current favorite to headline, with odds of 2/1. He's closely followed by global superstars Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift, both at 3/1. A host of other major names are also in the running, with Beyonc, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, and Eminem all quoted at 4/1.
The recently reunited Oasis, with brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, are also tipped at 4/1 to make a historic headline appearance, a prospect that has fans eagerly talking.
Festival-goers have been sharing their own dream headliners, with a wide range of names being put forward. Many would love to see a return for Paul McCartney, while others are hoping for sets from Catfish and the Bottlemen, Gerry Cinnamon, Lady Gaga, Chappell Roan, or Sabrina Carpenter.
The conversation around the 2027 lineup reflects a potential shift in the festival's demographic, with a mix of established legends and newer artists being suggested. While some hope for a return to the "good old days" with bands like Travis, Stereophonics, and Manic Street Preachers, others are excited by the prospect of newer, diverse acts taking the top spots. One thing is for sure: the speculation will continue to build until the official lineup is announced.
