Who Should Headline Glastonbury 2027?
There’s something unusual about this summer.
Normally by now, group chats are full of clashes, secret set rumours and debates over whether it’s worth sprinting from the Glastonbury Festival Pyramid Stage to catch an under-the-radar act on the West Holts stage. Social feeds would be packed with muddy wellies, questionable camping setups and passionate arguments about who deserved that headline slot.
But this year, Worthy Farm is quiet.
With Glastonbury Festival taking one of its planned fallow years in 2026 to allow the land to recover, festival fans are being left with something they rarely experience in late spring: a Glastonbury-shaped gap in the calendar.
And naturally, that gap has sparked a question.
If there’s no festival this year… who should be on the line-up when Glastonbury returns in 2027?
That’s exactly what we wanted to find out.
We’ve asked music fans, festival regulars, members of the public and a handful of familiar faces to tell us their dream Glastonbury 2027 booking. Some answers are predictable. Some are wildly ambitious. Some feel long overdue. And a few would cause absolute chaos in the best possible way.
From reunion rumours and legacy acts to breakthrough stars who feel ready for the Pyramid Stage, this is the Glastonbury 2027 wishlist according to the people who’d be first in line for tickets.
And honestly? Some of these need to happen.
Chalky
Chalky, the main man, and the name behind the brand said "a really impressive performer that I saw on stage a few weeks ago is RAYE and it would be awesome seeing her do a full set." He also said that he would love to see P!NK make an appearance on the legendary stage.
Jonny Chalkys Website Man
Jonny would love to see Aphex Twin on the bill at Glasto. Mainly because he has never seen him live and hears its a great show. Failing that, Radiohead. "A lot of people didn't get to see them on their recent European tour so this would give them a great chance to see Radiohead perform' Jonny added "when I saw them it was probably the best big show that I have ever seen.
Beth
Beth looks after all of the amazing pre-orders you guys love so much. She has selected her slight obsession, in the shape of the one and only Harry Styles.
Wendy James
Any fan of music in the late 80s will no doubt remember Transvision Vamp and their lead singer Wendy James. When we asked her who should be on the line-up at Glastonbury 2027, she immediately said "TRANSVISION VAMP of course, we are touring in 2026"
Chantelle Heskey
We spoke to Chantelle Heskey, model and wife of footballer Emile Heskey. She opted for RnB legend Chris Brown "I've seen him 4 times and never get tired. He's unbelievably talented and I love his energy on stage. He knows how to put on an amazing show."
Eilish McColgan
Eilish is a hugely talented athlete and has represented GB at all the major events. She also recently ran the London marathon. Her picks were "My choice would be Kendrick Lamar, Rosalia or RAYE."
Some of our customers
Emily, Essex - I would love to see either Sabrina Carpenter for pure vibes or somebody like Calvin Harris to create the amazing outdoor party feel.
Will, Cambs - off the back of that Coachella performance has to be the one and only Justin Bieber.
Kenni, West Mids - Spice Girls, I know the girls are Eager to do Glasto and being 30 years of Wannabe I think it would be fun to fulfil some of their dreams.
Rich, Bristol - For nostalgia vibes I would go either Roni Size or De La Soul, but more current I would love to see Johnny Flynn.
