General-sale tickets for Glastonbury 2027 went on sale at 9:00 BST on Sunday, October 4, 2026 — and sold out within 42 minutes. Organisers announced the sellout on Instagram shortly after 9:40am, as demand once again outstripped supply. The festival returns to Worthy Farm in Somerset from June 23 to 27, 2027, after a fallow year in 2026.

The 42-Minute Sellout: How It Happened
The main sale opened at 9:00 BST on Sunday, October 4, 2026. Just 42 minutes later, every general-sale ticket was gone, with organisers confirming the sellout on Instagram shortly after 9:40am. Coach package tickets, which had gone on sale on October 1, had already sold out in under 30 minutes — an early warning of the demand to come.
Record £408 Ticket Price
Weekend tickets for Glastonbury 2027 cost £408 including a £5 booking fee — the highest price in the festival's history, up £29.50 from the 2025 edition. Tickets are strictly non-transferable and personalised with photo ID, and the festival has warned fans against buying from third-party sellers.
Resale and Second Chances
Fans who missed out will get another chance: a resale of cancelled and returned tickets is planned for spring 2027. Exact dates have not been announced yet, so hopefuls should watch the official channels for updates.
Headliner Rumours: What's Confirmed
The 2027 headliners remain unannounced, but organiser Emily Eavis has confirmed that all three headline acts are already booked. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's PM programme, she publicly debunked the rumour that Madonna would headline — and also ruled out Oasis, saying, "Sorry Jimmy, not this time."
For reference, the 2025 edition was headlined by The 1975, Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts, Charli XCX, Sir Rod Stewart and Olivia Rodrigo. Rodrigo's 'Stupid Song' has recently returned to the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10, while Stewart has announced 'The Final Encore' as his final tour.
According to reports, Lily Allen has been invited to perform in 2027 following the success of her 2025 'West End Girl' set. The claim comes from The Sun's Bizarre column via Female First and Yardbarker, and remains unconfirmed by the festival.
What Happens Next
With the spring 2027 resale on the horizon, fans who missed out still have a route in. Headliner announcements are expected in the months ahead, with more news promised as the June 23–27 festival dates approach.
Beyond Worthy Farm, 2027 is shaping up to be a big year for live music: Hear'Say and Liberty X have announced a reunion tour.
