Glastonbury Festival 2024 Lineup: Dua Lipa, Coldplay, SZA, and More Make History

The organizers of this year’s Glastonbury Festival have revealed an impressive lineup, featuring headliners such as Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA. Notably, this marks the first time in the festival’s history that two of the three headline slots are occupied by female acts, with country star Shania Twain set to perform the coveted “legend slot” on Sunday afternoon.

Shania Twain expressed her excitement about participating in the festival, jokingly mentioning advice about bringing wellies and considering getting a pony to navigate the event. Additionally, notable acts include Burna Boy making his debut on the Pyramid Stage, and Little Simz crafting an immersive experience for her performance preceding Coldplay.

A significant milestone will be reached with Seventeen, the first K-pop group to grace the main stage, highlighting the genre’s growing prominence. The lineup also includes a mix of traditional Glastonbury acts like Idles, Disclosure, and The National, along with returning favorites such as Sugababes, Avril Lavigne, Cyndi Lauper, and Camila Cabello making their Glastonbury debuts.

Despite some speculation about other potential headliners like Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, or Stevie Wonder, the final lineup demonstrates a deliberate effort to diversify after the previous year’s all-male, all-rock headliners. Dua Lipa’s evolution from a smaller stage performer to a global star, Coldplay’s veteran status, and SZA’s meteoric rise in the music industry add depth to the festival’s headlining acts.

With the event set to take place in June, attendees can expect an eclectic mix of performances across various stages, promising memorable experiences and perhaps some unexpected surprises.
