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.

5. Foo Fighters
Another act marking the 10 year anniversary of their last Glastonbury headline slot are Foo Fighters. They turned up to play a surprise set as 'The Churnups' in 2023 - which shows how much they like the festival. Grohl and co are 3/1 shots for 2027. | Ritzau Scanpix/AFP via Getty Ima

6. Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift's Eras tour broke pretty much every record going and she's likely to take a break from live performances until at least after her wedding. She's never played Glastonbury though, so 2027 would seem to be the perfect time to fill that gap in her CV and return to the stage. She's a 3/1 shot. | AFP via Getty Images

7. Eminem
It's a remarkable fact that Eminem has never played Glastonbury, although he was strongly rumoured to be appearing in 2025. He's known for asking for a pretty high fee for festival slots, but maybe it's time for them to splash out on attracting one of the world's most successful rap stars to the Pyramid Stage.

8. Rihanna
Yet another global superstar to never have set foot on Worthy Farm, Rihanna is a 4/1 shot to make her debut topping the bill in 2027. Let's just hope that her hit 'Umbrella' doesn't bring the rain. | AFP via Getty Images
