The legendary Glastonbury Festival has announced its headliners for 2024, with British rock band The 1975, American pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo, and iconic singer-songwriter Neil Young set to take center stage. The world-famous event, held annually at Worthy Farm in southwest England, will run from June 25 to 29, bringing together some of the biggest names in music for an unforgettable five-day experience.
Rod Stewart, one of Britain’s most enduring rock stars, will occupy the coveted Sunday afternoon “legend” slot, marking his first return to the festival’s main Pyramid stage since 2002. At 80 years old, Stewart remains a powerhouse in the industry, with a career spanning more than six decades. His performance is expected to draw a massive crowd, as the Sunday legend slot is one of Glastonbury’s most anticipated traditions.
Olivia Rodrigo, known for chart-topping hits like drivers license and good 4 u, will make her Pyramid stage debut, closing the festival on Sunday evening. The 1975 will kick off the weekend’s headlining performances on Friday, while Neil Young will take the stage on Saturday. Young, a Canadian-born artist who later became a U.S. citizen, is widely regarded as one of the most influential musicians of his generation. A two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, he is celebrated both as a solo artist and as a member of legendary bands like Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
Beyond the headliners, the festival boasts an impressive lineup, featuring a mix of rising stars and seasoned performers. British singer-songwriter Charli XCX, whose recent album Brat sparked a major cultural movement, will bring her signature energy to the stage. Also performing is hip-hop artist Loyle Carner, electronic pioneers The Prodigy, and genre-blending sensation Raye.
Glastonbury, originally founded in 1970 by dairy farmer Michael Eavis, has grown into one of the most renowned and anticipated music festivals in the world. With its sprawling fields, eclectic performances, and famously unpredictable weather, it continues to attract tens of thousands of festivalgoers each year. As anticipation builds for the 2024 edition, fans can look forward to a lineup that blends rock, pop, hip-hop, and electronic music, promising an unforgettable celebration of live music and culture.
