Glastonbury 2027 tickets sell out in 42 minutes – with line-up still unannounced

General admission tickets to Glastonbury, the UK’s biggest music festival, have sold out in 42 minutes, leaving the lucky few now wondering: Who will be playing?

Following its traditional fallow year, the event – which will take place between 23 to 27 June 2027 – is a cause of both joy and frustration – the latter especially for fans who spend hours in the virtual queue and who still fail to secure a spot at Worthy Farm.

Tickets went on sale yesterday at 10am CET. At 10:42am, See Tickets confirmed that the entire allocation had been snapped up.

“Tickets for @Glastonbury Festival 2027 are now SOLD OUT,” it wrote. “Confirmation emails are going out now. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets this morning and sorry to those who missed out.”

Organisers announced last month that general admission tickets would cost £408 each, including a £5 booking fee – taking the price above £400 for the first time.

That's approx. €480 in total – an increase of nearly £30 (€34) from 2025 and, according to reports from BBC News, part of a steady rise since 2010, when tickets cost £286 (€330).

The price hike led to complaints, with some calling the 2027 price tag "unreasonable", "insane" and "a scam", while many feel like they're being priced out.

One fan wrote: “The last time I went was 2009. It was £165. It felt affordable, worth every penny. With inflation, sure, it should be £300 now. I get it, it’s a charity event. But £400?? That doesn’t feel right or fair.”

Someone else shared: "In 2000 it was £87. That’s an extra £321 in 27 years. The money went up but the music went down. Even accounting for inflation, that should be about £160 today. You pay more money to listen to shit music. How is this fair?"

Still, unconditional Glasto fans who missed out this weekend will have another opportunity to secure a spot when unwanted tickets and those for which the remaining balance has not been paid (buyers were required to pay a £100 deposit, with the remaining £308 due between 1 and 7 April next year) are offered in the spring 2027 resale.

No acts have yet been officially announced for Glastonbury 2027. Early bookmakers’ favourites have included Sam Fender, Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Little Simz, while there is growing speculation that The Rolling Stones, Radiohead and Fontaines D.C. could be in with a shot.

Two major names have effectively been ruled out. Organiser Emily Eavis dismissed speculation around both Madonna and Oasis. However, she did confirm that all of the headliners have been booked: “We’re very excited about it,” she told BBC Radio 4’s PM programme in August. “It’s all coming together really well.”

The Glastonbury 2027 line-up is expected to be announced in the coming months. The 2027 edition takes place from 23 to 27 June 2027.
