When is Glastonbury Festival in 2026?
Glastonbury Festival will take a break in 2026, following the organisers’ tradition of scheduling a “fallow year” every five years to give Worthy Farm time to recover. The festival will return in 2027, running from Wednesday, 23 June to Sunday, 27 June.
Glastonbury Festival has taken place at the same iconic location since it first began in 1970. It is held at Worthy Farm, a working dairy farm located in Pilton, Somerset, England—a countryside setting that has become legendary among festivalgoers.
Worthy Farm sits between the villages of Pilton and Pylle, and the area is also known for its spiritual significance. Just a few kilometers away lies the mystical Vale of Avalon, a place steeped in “New Age” beliefs and folklore. These stories and traditions add a unique atmosphere to the Glastonbury Festival 2025 experience.
How to get to the Glastonbury Festival 2027?
Getting to Glastonbury Festival 2027 is easier—and greener—than ever. Whether you’re coming from nearby or overseas, here are your best travel options:
Electric vehicles: On-site EV charging is limited, so it’s essential to arrive fully charged. Get an eSIM for the UK so you can use an app like Octopus Electroverse to plan a route with charging stops. The Electroverse network features over 650,000 charge points across the UK and Europe.
Coach: National Express, the festival’s official coach partner, runs direct services from over 90 UK locations straight to the site. Coach + ticket packages are a popular and eco-friendly option, with early access to ticket sales and a great festival atmosphere onboard.
Train + shuttle: Castle Cary is the nearest train station. A free shuttle bus runs between the station and the Festival Bus Station (next to Pedestrian Gate A) from Wednesday through Monday. Festival tickets are required to board.
Bus: Local bus services from cities like Bristol, Bath, Glastonbury, and Shepton Mallet offer direct routes to the festival grounds. Additional services run throughout the event. Be sure to check schedules in advance.
Bike: If you’re cycling to Glastonbury, the Bike To Glasto initiative provides free, secure bike parking and access to a cyclist-only campsite with showers. Luggage transport options are also available from several regional drop-off points, including West London.
Car: Driving is possible, but parking passes must be purchased in advance. Car parks open at 9:00 PM on Tuesday, June 22, but expect delays during peak arrival times on Wednesday morning. Follow festival signs (not your satnav) when nearing the site.
Car sharing: Reduce emissions and travel costs by sharing a ride with fellow festivalgoers. Several independent car share services can help match you with drivers or passengers heading to Worthy Farm.
Drop and Collect: A designated drop-off zone is located near Evercreech on the A371 and runs 24/7 from Tuesday to Monday. Shuttle buses will take you to Pedestrian Gate A. Dropping off on local roads is not permitted for safety reasons.
Glastonbury Festival 2027 lineup
As of now, no official lineup for Glastonbury Festival 2027 has been released by the organisers. That includes headliners, stage schedules, or confirmed performers.
Any specific artist lists circulating online, such as headliners or full daily lineups, are speculation, rumours, or early bookmaker odds, not official announcements.
Although nothing is official, early headliner predictions from betting markets and festival commentators suggest the following artists as strong contenders for the Pyramid Stage in 2027:
- Sam Fender: A leading favourite according to headliner odds.
- Harry Styles: Prominent in early betting markets.
- Taylor Swift: Frequently mentioned among possible headliners.
- Ed Sheeran, Rihanna, Eminem, Oasis: Also featured in early rumour lists and betting odds.
Note: These names are not confirmed by the festival organisers. They are early predictions based on public betting markets and media speculation.
Glastonbury Festival 2027 tickets
Glastonbury Festival tickets for 2027 have not yet gone on sale, and no official ticket prices have been released. Organisers usually announce ticket details much closer to the event, ticket sales are expected in late October or November 2026, following the pattern of previous festivals.
General Sale: Likely late October / November 2026.
Resale: Historically happens in April ahead of the festival year, so likely April 2027.
Registration: Registration for tickets usually opens a few months before the sale (often in autumn), but 2027 registration dates have not yet been announced.
Ticket Prices (Expected, not yet confirmed)
Official ticket prices for Glastonbury 2027 have not been confirmed by the organisers.
For context, Glastonbury 2025 general admission tickets cost £378.50 (including booking fee) and sold out quickly. It is reasonable to expect 2027 prices to be similar or slightly higher to account for inflation, but this will only be confirmed with the official announcement.
How ticket sales usually work
Even though specifics for 2027 aren’t out yet, the typical process is:
1. Registration
- You must register on the Glastonbury website (free) before tickets go on sale.
- Registration usually requires a photo ID and address; without registration, you cannot purchase tickets.
2. General & Coach Ticket Sale
- General admission and coach + ticket packages normally go on sale in November.
- Payment is usually in two parts: a deposit at booking, with the balance due later (often in April).
3. Resale
- Any returned or unpaid tickets are released in a smaller resale round, typically in April of the festival year.
Prize Draw for Early Tickets
For 2027, Glastonbury is running a charity prize draw, offering a limited number of ticket pairs before the main sale.
- Tickets for the draw cost a small fee (e.g., £10), and proceeds support charity.
- The draw is open with a deadline well before the main sale (e.g., until 7 November 2026).
Key Notes
- There will be no tickets for 2026, as the festival takes a planned fallow year.
- 2027 tickets and prices will be announced later in 2026.
- Early planning, registration, saving budgets, is recommended because tickets usually sell out very quickly.
