The music world is reacting to the announcement of this year’s Glastonbury line-up.
After what has been a lengthier wait than usual, Emily Eavis and her team or festival organisers have finally dropped the 2024 poster, which boasts the three headliners set to perform on the Pyramid Stage in June.
Dua Lipa, SZA and Coldplay, in what will be their fifth headline slot, are top billing, with Shania Twain taking on Legend slot duties.
While many ticketowners are expressing excitement about the forthcoming sold-out festival, there is an air of disappointment due to the fact that many rumoured high-profile musicians – including Madonna, Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen – are absent from the line-up.

Last year, it was claimed that Madonna was set to perform at Glastonbury 2024 – but later reports suggested the Queen of Pop has withdrawn as her set was proving too expensive for organisers.
It’s believed that Coldplay might be the ones to have been drafted in as a replacement.

Coldplay to headline Glastonbury for the fifth time
Coldplay will headline the Pyramid Stage for the fifth time in 22 years.
The band, fronted by Chris Martin, first played the stage in 2002 – apparently replacing The Strokes – 2005, 2011 and 2016.
Martin is very much a friend of the festival, and has returned numerous of times over the years in a solo capacity – but not always to play music; in 2023, he helped out organisers by doing a steward shift.
