Glastonbury 2024: Full line-up announced - with space for surprise acts
Glastonbury has revealed the complete list of performers, including the latest additions, who will take the stage during the upcoming five-day festival starting later this month.
The Other Stage, which happens to be the second biggest performance venue at the event, will host performances from both the Nigerian pop sensation, Tems, and the indie rock band, The Zutons.
Earlier, it was made public that the musicians Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA will be leading acts on The Pyramid stage.
Renowned country pop singer, Shania Twain, has been lined up to perform during the widely anticipated "legends slot" on the Pyramid Stage at the festival this coming Sunday.
The list of performers has been updated to include Scottish indie rock band The Snuts, Liverpudlian vocalist Jamie Webster, rock duo Soft Play, and up-and-coming artist Rachel Chinouriri.
This blog highlights a music festival that is packed with amazing female artists, including the likes of Little Simz, Avril Lavigne, Jessie Ware, Janelle Monae, Cyndi Lauper, PJ Harvey, and Camila Cabello. Additionally, the event marks a major milestone as two of the three headline acts are women. Other notable performers include Dua Lipa, SZA, and Twain. Overall, it's a fantastic celebration of women making their mark in the music industry.
After receiving criticism for featuring exclusively male headliners last year, this year's event boasts an impressive lineup of talented female performers. Arctic Monkeys, Guns 'N' Roses, and Sir Elton John- who gave his final UK performance- were last year's headliners.
On Tuesday, there was an announcement that shared the set times for each performer, discussions, and other activities that will happen during the event.
What are the other performances scheduled and at what times will they play?
The Pyramid Stage will kick off on Friday at noon with Squeeze, a renowned rock band. After that, up-and-coming talent Olivia Dean, K-pop sensations Seventeen, and singer Paul Heaton will all perform consecutively.
PJ Harvey and LCD Soundsystem will perform before Dua Lipa, who will be the star of the show on the main stage on Friday night - her first time there.
On Friday, some other notable performances include D-Block Europe and Idles performing on the Other Stage. Jungle will be headlining the West Holts stage, and Fontaines DC will be leading the way for the Park Stage.

On Sunday, the Other Stage will feature performances from popular American musician Avril Lavigne, Northern Ireland's very own Two Door Cinema Club, and the renowned US rock band The National.
As the festival is renowned for unexpected twists, there are likely to be some undisclosed performances during the occasion, particularly at 6pm on Saturday at the Woodsies stage, which is labelled as "TBA".
Past editions of this festival saw highlighted performances from popular music groups like The Killers, Foo Fighters, and Radiohead that were kept secret from the attendees.
The event will also honor the memory of DJ Annie Nightingale, who passed away in January at 83 years old. She was the inaugural woman host on BBC Radio 1.
The tickets for Glastonbury 2021 were all sold out within sixty minutes of being released in November. Even the re-selling of returned tickets in April was completed within a mere 22 minutes.
The occasion, with over 3,000 performances and roughly 200,000 attendees on location, is scheduled to happen from June 26th to June 30th.
