Glastonbury isn't just a music festival — it's a cultural phenomenon. Every year (almost), over 200,000 people gather on the fields of Worthy Farm in Somerset, England, for a musical experience unlike any other in the world. If you were planning to head to Glastonbury in 2026 — important news: 2026 is a fallow year, a planned year of rest. And what does that mean for you? That in 2027 the festival returns hungrier, stronger and wilder than ever.
Every four to five years, the Eavis family — who have run Glastonbury since 1970 — decide to let the land breathe. Worthy Farm is a working 900-acre farm, and after hundreds of thousands of visitors trample it, the land needs to recover. Fallow years were in 2012, 2018, and now 2026. Emily Eavis, the festival's organizer, explained: We're taking a fallow year in 2026 to give the land a rest — and the festival right before a fallow year is always the most fun to plan.
Glastonbury 2025 was indeed just such a year — with The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo topping the Pyramid Stage, and Pulp returning for the first time since 1998. Now, as the rest year passes, everyone is waiting for Glastonbury 2027.
The festival is expected to return in June 2027 with renewed energy. History shows: every festival that returns after a fallow year is extra special. Tickets are likely to go on sale around October-November 2026, with a resale in April 2027. The lineup will be announced in early June 2027 — and you can expect names we haven't seen at Glastonbury in a long time.
Ticket prices for Glastonbury 2027 haven't been announced yet, but based on 2025 prices (around £350-400 including a tent), a slight price increase can be expected. Demand is always enormous — tickets sell out within minutes.
Discover tickets to international music festivals
Glastonbury was born in 1970, founded by Michael Eavis, with admission costing two shillings per person and a performance by Marc Bolan. Since then it has become one of the biggest festivals in the world, with legendary stages like the Pyramid Stage, the Other Stage, the Park Stage, West Holts and dozens more smaller stages. The festival is known not only for music, but also for politics, art, circus and theatre.
A few facts about Glastonbury you might not know:
The Pyramid Stage is the beating heart of the festival. David Bowie, Radiohead, Beyoncé, Adele, The Rolling Stones, Coldplay (four times!), Jay-Z, Taylor Swift and more have all performed on this stage. Every show on the Pyramid Stage has become a cult event — and anyone who gets to stand in the field in front of this stage talks about it for years.
In 2025 Neil Young stood on the Pyramid Stage at age 79 — proof that Glastonbury is a festival that embraces every age, every genre, every kind of music. That's the DNA of the place.
