How To Get Tickets To Glastonbury 2027

As nationwide droughts and heatwaves sucked the life out of Britain’s soils this summer, it’s probably for the best that 2026 was a fallow year for Glastonbury – though we are not sure how much the land has had in terms of recovery. Nevertheless, the UK’s largest and most prestigious music festival will return in 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030 and maybe even 2031, depending on how things look on the ground at Worthy Farm.

Dating back to 1970 when it was called the Pilton Pop, Folk and Blues Festival, Glastonbury has grown over half a century into one of the world’s greatest music festivals. Broadcast live since the ’90s, the sprawling 1,500 acre grounds transform a small pocket of Somerset into a temporary city for the duration of the festival, population 210,000, with millions more tuning in from home across the globe. Known for its hippie ethos, all-night raves and slippery mud when the British weather has its way, Glastonbury is a cornerstone of British music, with top artists across the globe citing a headline slot as not just a career goal, but a lofty dream.

With the most recent headliners being The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo, Rod Stewart and Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts, speculation about 2027’s bill is already rife. But unlike many festivals around the world, Glastonbury goers commit to their tickets far ahead of the line-up being revealed. Fancy taking your chances in 2027? Here’s what you need to know.

How To Get Tickets Glastonbury Tickets 2027: The Ultimate Guide

Glastonbury tickets are a hot commodity, typically selling out in less than an hour – so the pressure is on. But the first thing on your Glastonbury 2027 action plan should be signing up for tickets. You can do that here. You’ll then be invited to register, which involves providing some personal details and uploading a passport-standard headshot of yourself. You will then be issued with a code that is necessary for purchasing tickets, so make sure you keep the email safe.

When Will Tickets Go On Sale?

Glastonbury 2027 tickets will go on sale in October 2026. The coach-and-ticket packages will go on sale at 6pm on Thursday 1 October 2026, with general admission on sale at 6pm on Sunday 4 October 2026 – giving you two opportunities to snag your ticket.

These are the only ticket types at Glastonbury: full weekend or bust. The coach ticket includes one-way or round-trip travel from one of 28 destinations across the UK: Birmingham, Brighton, Cambridge, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Leicester, Lincoln, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Norwich, Nottingham, Oxford, Plymouth, Sheffield, Stoke, Southampton, Swansea, Swindon, Truro and York. If you purchase this ticket type, you are locked in to the full coach travel experience: you cannot switch to general admission and drive yourself there, as staff will give you your ticket on the bus. You also cannot book a campervan spot onsite. The coach will be fully booked, meaning space is limited, both for passengers and luggage – so make sure your are prepared for a long and potentially uncomfortable journey.

After all of the initial hubbub, there will also be a ticket resale in April for anyone who can no longer attend. However, we wouldn’t advise relying on this system: resale tickets hit record lows in 2024 and, following a fallow year, we can only imagine the same will be true in 2027. This does mean, however, that you can change your mind about your tickets once you’ve bought them – though this is your last chance. Afterwards, tickets are totally non-transferrable, with a photograph of the ticketholder featured on each ticket.

How Much Do Glastonbury Tickets Cost?

As always, tickets have gone up to their record price for the next edition of Glastonbury. In 2027, weekend tickets will be £408 per person, plus a £5 booking fee per ticket, up £29.50 since 2025. Coach tickets have an additional travel fee, depending on your point of departure.

Top Tips For Getting A Ticket

We all have that one friend who seems to get tickets every year, and while there’s clearly an element of luck involved, there are some things you can do to up your chances.

• Consider setting up a syndicate with a group of up to six people, so you can all try and secure tickets for the group. If you’re feeling advanced, you can join with other groups: then, if you or someone in your group secures tickets for your six, you can start trying for the other group/s.
• Organisation is key. Check your Wi-Fi connection, and ensure you have all your details ready – plus anyone you’re trying to get tickets for. You’ll need full names, registration numbers and postcodes. Pop them on a Google Doc so you can copy and paste them across, and create a WhatsApp group to keep everyone updated.
• Make sure you have enough money on your card. If you’re lucky enough to make it through, then your card fails at the crucial moment, you’ll never forgive yourself. Remember, you’ll need enough to cover the deposit (£100) and booking fee (£5) for everyone in your group, plus the coach fare (£30–160) if applicable.
• While some people argue for opening multiple tabs, the official Glastonbury advice is to use just one tab.
• Consider volunteering with a charity like Oxfam or Water Aid. This typically entails working three eight-hour shifts over the course of the festival helping to keep the space clean, providing directions, checking wristbands and patrolling campsites. In your free time, the festival awaits.
• Move to Pilton. Extreme, but bear with us: local residents get free-entry to the festival, with a select number of tickets reserved for at a low price for people living in Somerset. Only one question remains: is the guaranteed ticket worth the house price?

When Is Glastonbury 2027?

The Glastonbury Festival will return to Worthy Farm from 23–27 June 2027.

Glastonbury 2027 Rumoured Headliners

So who will you get to see with your £408 ticket? The 2027 headliners will not be announced until March 2027, with the full line-up locked in much closer to the festival. But the prestige of the Worthy Farm affair means you can rest assured you will be getting something good. And so much of the Glastonbury experience is about what happens off the main stages, anyway.

Whispers on the music scene for 2027 include Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, The Rolling Stones, Ed Sheeran, Fontaines DC, Stevie Wonder, Rihanna, Sam Fender, Radiohead, Muse and, as always, many, many more. Meanwhile, Robbie Williams has his eye on the Legend slot and Duran Duran have made it clear they will only perform at Glasto in a headline slot.

Oasis typically tops the bookies’ lists, too, but the Gallagher brothers seem to harbour a particularly strong hatred for the Worthy Farm festival, repeatedly shutting down speculation with a blunt ‘It’s not happening,’ with Liam specifically taking aim at an audience he dubs ‘a load of jamboree teachers’ and ‘croc wearing flag waving s**t c***s.’ You get the picture.

Oasis aren’t the only act opposed to Glastonbury: Brian May has also ruled out Queen playing the festival, stating he disagrees with the politics of the Eavis family, who own Worthy Farm (a cattle farm when not hosting Glastonbury) and run the event. ‘They like killing badgers, and they think it’s for sport,’ May said in an interview. ‘And that’s something I cannot support because we’ve been trying to save these badgers for years, and they are still being killed for years, so that’s the reason we’re missing out on it.’ Michael Eavis has responded that the badgers on Worthy Farm are culled to prevent the spread of bovine TB.

Where Is Glastonbury?

Glastonbury Festival takes place on Worthy Farm in a small Somerset village called Pilton, six miles east of the ancient town of Glastonbury. The first festival took place here in 1970, and it’s been going ever since.
