Tickets and dates set
After a fallow year in 2026, Glastonbury Festival confirmed that tickets for the 2027 event will go on sale in October, with weekend tickets priced at £408 including a £5 booking fee per ticket. The BBC said tickets with coach travel would go on sale at 18:00 BST on Thursday, 1 October, while general admission tickets would go on sale at 09:00 BST on Sunday, 4 October. The Independent said the registration process for next year’s festival is now open and closes at 5pm BST on Friday, September 25, with anyone wishing to attend needing to be individually registered and aged 13 or over on June 23, 2027 before they can try for a ticket in the ticket sales.
Somerset County Gazette said the festival will return from June 23 to June 27, 2027 at Worthy Farm near Pilton, and it confirmed that general admission tickets cost £408 including a £5 booking fee plus postage and packing. Somerset County Gazette also said festivalgoers will need to pay a £100 deposit per person when bookings open, with the remaining balance of £308 plus postage due between April 1 and April 7, 2027.
Madonna ruled out
Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis scotched rumours that Madonna would play, telling BBC Radio 4’s The Media Show: "No, it’s definitely not Madonna, I’ll tell you that." In the same BBC account, Eavis added, "But we have got three [other] headliners and we’re very excited about it – it’s all coming together really well," as the festival kept the identities of the three main headliners under wraps. The Guardian said the price breaks £400 for the first time at £408 including a £5 booking fee, and it said the usual scramble to acquire tickets will begin at 9am on Sunday 4 October.
The Guardian also tied the ticket announcement to earlier controversy, noting that there was "controversy around Kneecap’s appearance" and that Bob Vylan led a chant of "death to the IDF" during the previous edition. Far Out Magazine said one name that recently got bumped off the list was Madonna, after Eavis told BBC Radio 4’s The Media Show that one of the 2027 headliners is “definitely not” the ‘Vogue’ singer.
How fans will buy
The BBC said anyone wanting to attend Glastonbury had to be registered in advance and that fans could check their registration on its website. The BBC also described an automatic queuing system on the day of sale, saying fans needed to be online before the start of the sale with a valid registration number. Somerset Live said tickets are strictly non-transferable to prevent touting, and it added that each ticket features the photograph of the registered ticket holder with security checks carried out to ensure that only the person in the photograph is admitted.
Radio X said the only official seller of Glastonbury festival tickets is See Tickets and warned that tickets would not be available via any other site or agency. NME said fans can book up to six tickets per person paying a deposit of £100 when tickets go on sale, with the remaining balance of £308 payable from 9am BST on April 1 to 11.59pm BST on April 7.
