Glastonbury Unveils Further Line-Up Details and Stage Schedules

Boston Brand Media brings you the latest - Glastonbury Festival has released additional details about its line-up and stage schedules, offering attendees more insight into the upcoming event. With this unveiling, festival-goers can anticipate a diverse range of performances and plan their schedules accordingly to ensure they don't miss out on any of the action. From headliners to emerging artists, the line-up promises something for everyone, while the stage schedules provide a roadmap for navigating the bustling festival grounds.

Dua Lipa will headline the opening night of the festival

More of the lineup for this year's Glastonbury festival has been unveiled, with bands such as The Snuts and The Zutons joining previously announced headliners Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA. Additionally, other acts have been added to the roster, including Nigerian sensation Tems, emerging indie artist Rachel Chinouriri, and iconic Manchester band James.

The festival is set to commence in three weeks, with gates opening on Wednesday, 26 June. Although tickets sold out in October, comprehensive coverage will be accessible on BBC radio and television, along with BBC Sounds and iPlayer. Anticipated highlights feature country icon Shania Twain performing during the Sunday teatime "legend slot" and pop legend Cyndi Lauper making her debut on the Pyramid Stage. Lauper, who recently announced her farewell tour, is returning to the stage 41 years after her hit single "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" propelled her to fame.

Boston Brand Media also found other notable acts on the lineup encompass electronic heavyweights Disclosure and Justice, pop sensations Jessie Ware and Sugababes, as well as rappers Little Simz and D-Block Europe. Moreover, a surprise performance is slated for 18:00 on Saturday, 29 June, on the Woodsies stage. In past editions, surprise acts like The Killers, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, and George Ezra have graced these secret slots. Speculation surrounding this year's surprise guest will surely abound at Worthy Farm until the moment they make their stage appearance.

Glastonbury has also disclosed the stage times for each performance, enabling fans to strategize their festival experience, albeit amidst the inevitable challenge of overlapping sets by their favorite artists. For instance, on Friday night, dance enthusiasts must decide between Jungle and Jamie XX.

Similarly, those seeking introspective melodies towards the festival's conclusion must choose between The National on the Other Stage and James Blake in the Woodsies tent. Moreover, the early afternoon schedule for The Other Stage remains unlisted for both Saturday and Sunday, with acts to be announced in the forthcoming weeks.

Coldplay last headlined Glastonbury in 2016

Dua Lipa is set to headline the Friday night on the Pyramid Stage, marking her first appearance at Glastonbury since 2017. In a recent interview with the BBC, she expressed her anticipation for the show, revealing it occupies "50% of my thoughts."

She aims to create an intimate nightclub atmosphere for the massive crowd, stating, "That’s the goal, and if there’s one place to do it, it’s gotta be Glasto." Coldplay will take the stage on Saturday night, making history as the first act to headline the festival five times. Currently on their Music of the Spheres world tour, the band has hinted at surprises for their Somerset return.

Wrapping up the festival on Sunday, US soul sensation SZA will bring her introspective hits like "Saturn" and "Kill Bill" to the Pyramid Stage. Glastonbury will also honor BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Nightingale, who passed away earlier this year, with a special set on the BBC Introducing Stage featuring acts she mentored, such as Jon Carter, Krafty Kuts, and Martha, performing some of her favorite tracks.
