Glastonbury 2027 tickets top £400 for the first time, with sales in October and registration closing September 25
Glastonbury has fixed the dates that will decide who gets to Worthy Farm next summer, and for the first time in the festival’s history, a ticket will cost more than £400. On Monday, September 8, organizers confirmed that tickets for Glastonbury 2027 go on sale in October, with general admission priced at £408 including a £5 booking fee. The Somerset festival returns from Wednesday, June 23 to Sunday, June 27, following a fallow year in 2026.
The sale splits across two dates, as usual. Coach and ticket packages go first at 6 p.m. BST on Thursday, October 1, followed by standard general admission at 9 a.m. BST on Sunday, October 4. Fans can book up to six tickets per transaction with a £100 deposit per person, and the remaining £308 balance falls due in the first week of April 2027, payable from April 1 to April 7.
The £400 Barrier and the Registration Deadline
The headline number is the price. At £408, a 2027 ticket represents a jump of £29.50 from the £378.50 charged in 2025, a rise organizers have tied to the escalating cost of staging an event of Glastonbury’s scale. The increase continues a steady upward climb that has drawn criticism in past years about affordability and access, even as demand shows no sign of cooling. Co-organizer Emily Eavis has repeatedly framed these hikes as reluctant, citing the enormous expense of running what remains one of the largest greenfield festivals on Earth.
Before anyone can buy, they need to be registered, and that window closes fast. Registration ends at 5 p.m. BST on Friday, September 25, and there is no way to submit or amend a registration after that until the October sales conclude. Anyone aged 13 or over on the opening day must be individually registered.
The system exists to fight touting: every ticket carries the photograph of its registered holder, checked against the buyer at the gate, which is why organizers urge fans whose likeness has changed to update their photo at least seven days before the deadline. Tickets are sold exclusively through See Tickets, and after the inevitable sellout, a resale will follow in spring 2027 once the lineup lands.
Who Might Actually Headline
No performers have been confirmed, but the speculation is already at full volume. Early bookmaker favorites for the Pyramid Stage include Sam Fender, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Little Simz, with Harry Styles, Radiohead, Fontaines D.C., Muse, and The Rolling Stones also floated. Interest in the Stones has intensified after both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards suggested the band could return to touring in 2027. They have headlined Glastonbury only once, back in 2013.
Several rumored names have already been knocked down. Eavis ruled out Madonna, long tipped to appear following her album Confessions II, and Liam Gallagher bluntly shut down persistent talk of an Oasis headline slot, telling fans convinced the band was booked that “it’s not happening.” His objections, delivered with characteristic bite, extended to the festival’s flag-waving and Crocs-wearing contingent. Robbie Williams, meanwhile, has fueled his own rumors by booking two outdoor shows the week after the festival, reviving speculation he could fill the Sunday Legends slot he has openly coveted.
The guessing game is part of the ritual, but the practical stakes are immediate. Glastonbury caps capacity at roughly 200,000, and registration alone never guarantees a ticket. For the millions who want in, the calendar is now non-negotiable: register by September 25, be online for the October sales, and hope. Last year’s edition, headlined by The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo, was another reminder of why the scramble is worth it. With prices climbing and demand unrelenting, the 2027 rush is shaping up to be as fierce as ever, lineup or no lineup.
