Glastonbury 2024 – live: Shania Twain, Little Simz and more react to ...

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.

After a backlash to last year’s all-male healdine line-up, which bumped Lizzo up in a consolatory manner, this year is very much the year of the women. Emily Eavis vowed this would be so – and she’s made good of her promise.

Music correspondent Roisin O’Connor says Dua Lipa and SZA have proven themselves more than capable of putting on a spectacle worthy of the Pyramid Stage.

At this stage, The Streets are a Glastonbury favourite – and Mike Skinner knows it.

The National have continued their rise up the Glasto billing, and will headline the Other stage.

Emily Eavis previously described the band as potential outright headliners, with frontman Matt Berninger telling NME: “I can’t disagree. That would be amazing.”

“Let’s go!” the band wrote on X/Twitter about their 2024 appointment.

Electronic duo Disclosure will return to Worthy Farm this year, where they will headline the Other Stage.

Reacting to the news, they wrote: :The greatest festival in the world. Glastonbury, we love you more than words. See you in the fields.”

Little Simz is playing the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2024.

Reacting to the news, the hip-hop star shared a message of excitement on social media, writing: “The one and only festival I’ll be at this summer. On the Pyramid, on the farm. Big big glasto you knowwww what a wow. See you there. Love.”

Shania Twain has reacted to the appointment to play the coveted Legends slot at Glastonbury 2024.

The Canadian singer posted a special video message to fans on Thursday (14 March) after she was confirmed to play at the Somerset festival.

“This is a dream come true, I have been asked about Glastonbury for years now and it is finally coming together,” Twain said.

“I am packing my wellies and my raincoat, and of course, my cowboy hat, and I will see you in the beautiful Somerset countryside. This is huge, an honour of my life.”
