The Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts has been around since the 70s and has included performances summer after summer by legendary musicians such as David Bowie and Beyoncé.

This year’s festival will take place from Wednesday, June 25 to Sunday, June 29 at the Worthy Farm in Pilton. Festivalgoers will get to experience headliners such as returning performers Olivia Rodrigo, Charli xcx, and Raye, as well as debut performer Doechii

Although Rodrigo has already performed at Glastonbury in 2022, this will be the first time the Grammy Award-winning singer headlines the festival—performing on its last day at the Pyramid Stage. This is just one of 17 festivals she has been confirmed to headline this year.

After the official announcement, she posted to her Instagram Story. The “good 4 u” singer wrote,  “headlining glasto has been one of my biggest dreams for so long. truly can’t believe this! so grateful and sooo excited. hope to see you there.”

The next day, audiences will get to watch the now-mainstream 365-party girl. Xcx continues to live on the high of her massively successful, BRIT Award-winning album Brat. The international pop star will return to Glastonbury this year, headlining Saturday’s Other Night stage.

The same day will also see the return of the recent Oscar Awards performing artist Raye. The BRIT Award winner had her debut at the 2023 festival and will return to the Pyramid Stage.

Saturday night audiences will also see the Glastonbury debut performance of Grammy award-winning rising star Doechii at the West Holts Stage.
