First held in 1970 as the Pop, Blues & Folk Festival - when just 1,500 people attended - Glastonbury has grown to become a major event in the British cultural calendar, with most of the biggest names in music having played it at least once.
Last year over 200,000 enjoyed headline sets from Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo and The 1975, along with hundreds of other bands playing countless stages of all sizes - and millions watched the extensive television coverage.
If you were hoping to go along this year you’re out of luck - 2026 is a ‘fallow year’ and the festival will not be held.
It’s part of the green ethos of organisers Michael and Emily Eavis, with the event taking a break every five years to give the working farm some time to rejuvenate from the inevitable wear and tear caused.
Now speculation is growing about who will be topping the bill in 2027.
Here are the 9 acts most likely to top the bill on the Pyramid Stage, according to the experts at OLBG.
