It’s officially time to get excited about Glastonbury Festival’s 2027 return, with organiser Emily Eavis revealing that next year’s headliners have been booked.
The Somerset-based festival took a break this year to allow the farm land to recover, having seen Rod Stewart, The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo perform in 2025.
Now, Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has confirmed that next year’s headliners have signed on the dotted line – although there’s one huge star who won’t be making an appearance at Worthy Farm.
“It’s definitely not Madonna, I’ll tell you that,” she said on BBC Radio 4’s PM programme Friday (14 August). “But we have got three [other] headliners and we're very excited about it – it's all coming together really well.”
It comes after Madonna appeared to drop a major hint that she would be headlining Glastonbury next year, having told Graham Norton in June that she had “something big” planned in the UK for 2027.
With next year’s headliners officially picked, here is a breakdown of all the stars who are rumoured to be taking to the Glastonbury stage in June.
Taylor Swift
It feels like Taylor Swift’s name comes up every year when discussing rumoured headliners and 2027 is no exception. In May, it was reported that the American singer, 36, was “almost nailed on” to play the Pyramid stage next year, with The Daily Mail claiming that “it’s all going ahead positively” with Swift, who recently married Travis Kelce at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
Meanwhile, Eavis became coy when the “Love Story” singer was brought up by BBC Radio 4’s Katie Razzall. The Glastonbury organiser laughed when asked whether Swift would be performing and said that she didn’t want to discuss the line-up anymore – so take from that what you will!
Harry Styles
Yet another regular on Glastonbury rumours lists is Harry Styles, who might finally make his performing debut at the festival this year.
The former One Direction singer previously hinted at extending his Together, Together tour, which is currently due to run until December this year. When asked by Capital FM in January, he said: “Yeah, maybe. I think we’ll go one year at a time. Do this year first. We’ll see.”
Meanwhile, an insider toldThe Sun in 2024 that Eavis has wanted to secure Styles for a while “but the dates have never quite worked out”.
Oasis
Liam and Noel Gallagher took the UK by storm last year with their record-breaking Oasis reunion tour – and now they’re rumoured to be bringing their Champagne Supernova to Worthy Farm.
The brothers are among the bookies’ favourites to headline next year, with Oasis being given odds of 6/1. Meanwhile, earlier this month, the reunion tour’s promoter secured an events licence for Knebworth House – fuelling rumours that they’ll be performing at the Hertfordshire venue in September next year. If Oasis are performing indeed taking their show to Knebworth for three weeks in 2027, there’s every chance they could make a stop at Glastonbury in the lead up.
Robbie Williams
After his headline-making turn at FIFA World Cup Final closing ceremony last month, Robbie Williams is said to be eyeing up the Sunday afternoon legend slot at Glastonbury after fans spotted a major clue.
The singer recently confirmed that he would be playing in Lancashire and Limerick in early July – a week after he could potentially be on stage at Glastonbury.
Williams has also been vocal about wanting to take on the coveted slot, saying in 2023 on podcast Robbie Williams Rewind: “I know I’d slaughter it.
“When you do Glastonbury, perception changes more than any other festival. Diana Ross could play any festival and not get any traction, but she plays Glastonbury, and everybody is talking about it, like Barry Gibb. A lot of people there have an oblique perception of what I am. But if they saw me do it, I would take their heads off.”
