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.

9. Chappell Roan - 4/1
One of the biggest success stories of recent years, Chappell Roan's debut album 'The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess' has turned her into a global star. By the time Glastonbury 2027 comes around she'll have another album out, putting paid to any concerns over a lack of material. Olivia Rodrigo proved she could more than deliver this year with just two albums, and Roan could follow suit. | Getty Images for The Recording A

10. Little Simz - 4/1
London rapper Little Simz played second on the bill to perennial headliners Coldplay at Glastonbury in 2024 and played one of the best sets of the entire festival. There's only one place for her to go in 2027 - and that's the headline slot. | Getty Images

11. Fred Again - 4/1
British producer and DJ Fred Again has proven he can deliver on the biggest of stages - headlining Reading and Leeds in 2024. That was the same year he played a 'secret set' at Glastonbury's Strummerville Stage. He's regularly spoken of his love for the festival, so it would be a dream for him to headline in 2027. | AFP via Getty Images

12. Wolf Alice - 9/2
Alt rockers Wolf Alice are real Glastonbury favourites, having played across a number of stages five times in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2022 and 2025. Each time they play a more prominent spot, playing second on the bill on The Other Stage this year just before The Prodigy. It seems only a matter of time before they headline, so 2027 could be their year. | AFP via Getty Images
