Glastonbury 2027 Tickets Go On Sale In October

What's happened

Glastonbury has confirmed that 2027 tickets will go on sale in October, with weekend passes priced at £408 including a £5 booking fee. Coach-ticket bundles go live on 1 October and general admission on 4 October. Organisers say Madonna will not headline, but three headliners are expected. Registration remains mandatory to curb touts.

What's behind the headline?

Key angles

• The price point represents a notable rise from 2025 while the deposit has moved to £100. This suggests continued cost pressures across running a large festival.
• Repeated claims that Madonna will not headline shift the narrative away from persistent celebrity headliner speculation.
• Registration to combat touts remains a cornerstone policy, with online queuing designed to curb bot activity.
• The absence of a declared headliner lineup makes the event a reputational test for the organizers as fans prepare for a year of rumours.

Impact for readers

• Potential attendees should budget for the higher price and secure registrations early to avoid queues.
• Those following festival economics may watch how rising costs influence consumer willingness to pay for premium packages.

Forecast

• Headliners will likely be confirmed closer to the sale date; ticketing security measures are unlikely to be relaxed.

How we got here

Glastonbury paused in 2026 for land recovery and returned to planning for 2027. Organisers have repeatedly emphasized ticketing controls to prevent scalping and will use See Tickets for sales, with a random queue system to manage demand.

Centwine was the first Saxon patron of Glastonbury Abbey, which dominated the town for the next 700 years and was one of the most important abbeys in England.
