Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA have been revealed as the headliners for this year’s Glastonbury Festival as the line-up was finally announced on Thursday.
Shania Twain will be filling the coveted Sunday teatime Legends slot, while the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Little Simz, 80s pop icon Cyndi Lauper, Keane, Burna Boy, PJ Harvey, Paloma Faith and Disclosure are also set to perform.
‘Here is the first Glastonbury Festival 2024 line-up poster. Many more acts and attractions still to be announced,’ the festival’s official account on X revealed.
‘Tickets for this year’s Festival are sold out, but our prize draw for 20 pairs is raising emergency funds to support people affected by conflict.’
That Don’t Impress Me Much chart-topper Shania, 58, took to social media to share her excitement over performing at Glastonbury.
‘The legends slot at GLASTONBURY 2024 – Another jewel in my crown!! I feel so honoured and so excited about this one!’ she enthused.
‘Thinking about what to wear already and tell me, what should we sing together?! Let’s make history with this ultimate dream performance!! @glastonbury’
Glastonbury fans had been kept waiting for 2024’s line-up for the longest amount of time in 17 years.
The Worthy Farm festival, which is taking place from 26 to 30 June, sold out within an hour when tickets went on sale back in November.
However, organisers kept attendees waiting on the artists performing until only three months before the massive festival.

This seemed particularly unusual, especially given that other summer festivals have already been busy announcing their line-ups – most notably BST Hyde Park and its electric set of headliners, including Stevie Nicks, Kings of Leon and Kylie Minogue.
But until today we hadn’t heard anything, confirmed or much of a hint, from Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis.
Music fans had also been on quite the rollercoaster of rumours in the run up to the official announcement, with everyone from Raye, Madonna and Stevie Wonder featuring in the conversation.

Just days ago it was reported that Raye had been offered a ‘big slot’ at the festival, after headline talks with Stevie Wonder, 73, were said to have broken down.
The record-breaking Brit Award-winning star – who scooped six prizes at this month’s bash – was reportedly being offered ‘as big a slot as possible’ after her success according to a source, with Eavis said to be a fan.

Before Superstition hitmaker Stevie – who headlined in 2010 – was rumoured to be in talks, Madonna, 65, Coldplay and Dua Lipa, 28, were the names attached to headlining this year’s festival.
The latter two proved to be accurate, but there’s no sign of Stevie and Madge on the bill.
Talks with the Material Girl hitmaker were said to have broken down after organisers Michael and Emily Eavis refused to pay the huge fee to bring her Celebration live show to Glasto.
