Female acts dominate headline slots at the iconic festival; excitement builds as organizers reveal stellar line-up

In a historic move, Glastonbury Festival announces its star-studded line-up for 2024, with Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA taking the coveted headline slots. This marks the first time in the festival’s history that female acts have secured two of the three headline positions. Additionally, country music icon Shania Twain is set to grace the stage as the “legend slot” performer on Sunday afternoon.

Dua Lipa, who last performed at Glastonbury seven years ago, is poised to captivate audiences with her evolution from a rising pop star to a global sensation. Meanwhile, Coldplay returns to Glastonbury after a hiatus, becoming the first act to headline the festival five times. The band’s decision to perform comes after previously expressing hesitation due to negative feedback about their ubiquity at the event.

SZA, the breakout star of the past year, brings her soulful sound and chart-topping hits to Glastonbury’s stage, promising a memorable performance. Joining these headliners are a diverse array of artists, including rap sensation Little Simz, Afrobeats star Burna Boy, and K-pop phenomenon Seventeen, marking the first appearance of a K-pop group on the main stage.

With acts like Sugababes, Avril Lavigne, Cyndi Lauper, and Camila Cabello making their Glastonbury debuts, the festival promises a dynamic and eclectic musical experience. Despite speculation about other rumoured headliners, the final line-up reflects Glastonbury’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity in its programming.

As anticipation builds for the festival’s opening on June 26th, attendees can expect an electrifying showcase of talent across genres, reaffirming Glastonbury’s status as one of the world’s premier music festivals.
