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.
Earlier this 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 next year you’re out of luck - it’s a ‘fallow year’ and the festival will not be held.
It’s part of the green ethos of organisers Michael and Emily Evis, 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.
But that hasn’t stopped speculation about who will be topping the bill in 2027.
Here are the 13 most likely acts to top the bill on the Pyramid Stage, according to the bookies.

5. Rihanna - 4/1
Rihanna hasn't performed in the UK since 2016 but is rumoured to be touring in 2026. Any potential world tour is likely to take more than a year so she could finish with a headline-grabbing Glastonbury appearance. | Getty Images

6. Miley Cyrus - 4/1
Pop icon Miley Cyrus last played Glastonbury in 2019 third on the bill on the Pyramid Stage below The Cure and Vampire Weekend. Any return in 2027 would surely see her step up to the headline slot. | AFP via Getty Images

7. Eminem - 4/1
Still arguably the biggest star in rap, Eminem will be marking the 30th anniversary of his debut studio album 'Infinite' in 2026, with 2027 making the 10th birthday of his ninth - 'Revival'. A global lap of honour could well include a Glastonbury headlining slot. | Getty Images for The Rock and Ro

8. Oasis - 4/1
Even the biggest fan of the Gallagher brothers might be surprised just how smoothly their enormous reunion tour has gone this year. They have already dropped hints of more gigs down the line and surely they'd relish topping the bill at the Pyramid Stage for the first time since 2004. They made their debut at the festival in 1994 and returned for their first headline set just 12 months later. | AFP via Getty Images
