Glastonbury announces first wave line-up for 2024

Glastonbury Festival has revealed the first wave of artists taking to Worthy Farm this summer, including all four headline acts.

The update comes after the "longest wait" for a line-up reveal in 17 years — following a delay in ticket sales by two weeks in November.

This year's headliners include Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA, with a Sunday legend slot going to Shania Twain - as teased by Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis back in October.

Last year, Eavis alluded that the 2024 event could see two female headliners out of four, confirming: “certainly I can say that the legend is female" while speaking to Annie Mac and Nick Grimshaw on the pair’s Sidetracked podcast.

Elsewhere on the line-up, LCD Soundsystem, Little Simz, Michael Kiwanuka, Burna Boy, Disclosure, The Streets, Jungle, Confidence Man, and Headie One are all set to play.

Dance music acts performing this year include Jamie xx, Justice, James Blake, Romy, Sofia Kourtesis, Orbital, Peggy Gou, Mount Kimbie, Honey Dijon, Eliza Rose, and a B2B from Skream & Benga.

"Here is the first Glastonbury Festival 2024 line-up poster," the festival announced earlier today. "Many more acts and attractions still to be announced."

Ahead of the line-up, OOFestivals reported that this year's line-up would "hopefully" enlist three female headliners, as per Emily Eavis after much fan speculation.

Last year, the festival was criticised following a report found that the line-up lacked gender diversity, with male artists almost doubling that of female acts.

According to a report from Ditto Music, 50 of the 95 artists announced on this year's Glastonbury bill are female or non-binary, equating to 52%.
