Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA headline the Worthy Farm festival this weekend

The wait is finally over: Glastonbury 2024 is kick off tonight. The headliners have been announced. The weather forecast is in. You might even have caught a 100mph ‘rave train’ to Worthy Farm. All that’s left now is to figure out who you’re seeing, where and when.
Beyond the headliners Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA, thousands of acts will play Glastonbury this year. As usual, it’ll be a stacked line-up with every kind of music you can imagine, with everyone from legendary household names to plucky up-and-comers. And, thanks to secret sets, the official line-up is just the start.
‘Glasto hasn’t even properly kicked off yet, but we’ve already been treated to a drone show, a heatwave and some killer DJ sets, including a late night Shygirl appearance at Levels that had queues stretching all the way to the next stage,’ says Time Out London’s events editor Rosie Hewitson, ‘After completing the trudge onto a campsite on the hottest day of the year, the atmosphere is one of relief and contentment, with LCD Soundsystem’s early evening slot on the Pyramid Stage and Charli XCX’s Partygirl club night seemingly the hottest tickets for the first ‘proper’ day of the festival.’
So, if you’re after the Glasto’s full weekend line-up, check Clashfinder or the official website – but be warned, the amount of stuff in there is vast. Below we’ve condensed all the timings from Worthy Farm’s five biggest stages. Get planning!

⛺️ How to get Glastonbury 2025 tickets.
Loads of Glasto sets were available to watch live via BBC iPlayer. Exact info about which channels to watch and when to catch SZA, Coldplay, and Dua Lipa and more are available here.
Tickets for Glastonbury 2024 cost £360 (including a £5 booking fee), which was up from 2023’s £340. As for 2025, we might reasonably expect ticket prices to increase again, but this hasn’t been confirmed.
Glastonbury 2024’s line-up was met with muted excitement when it was released in March, with criticism claiming organisers showed lack of imagination – lots of people rolled their eyes at news of Coldplay’s (record-breaking) fifth headline stint, and plenty of others were left asking ‘who the hell is SZA?’. But as always, the weekend at Worthy Farm culminated in one enormous, glowing (if sometimes much too overcrowded) party, and all four headliners, as well as the host of rising stars and newcomers who made the line-up, offered toe-tapping, sway-worthy sets. Here’s what the reviews are saying about this year’s edition of Glasto.
‘[Dua Lipa’s] performance was exceptionally slick, with no note missed, a dazzling display of dancers and vast, impressive production. As she powered through her many, many hits, Dua threw out any notion that this might be a routine set. It was all a spectacle – and a thoroughly entertaining one, at that,’ says Time Out’s news editor Ed Cunningham, about the British-Albanian pop star’s Friday night slot on the Pyramid Stage.
On Coldplay’s record-breaking fifth headline slot, Ed said: ‘It was clear very quickly why Coldplay have been invited back so many times. Chris Martin’s band steamed through tunes like ‘Viva La Vida’ in rather straightforward fashion but also brought out guests like Little Simz and Michael J Fox. Add in the spectacle of the audience’s glittering sea of light-up wristbands and surely no one can be left wondering how this band has ended up so dominant on the Pyramid Stage.’
Four stars were awarded to SZA’s Sunday evening set by the Independent, which said: ‘Though not yet a household name in the UK – ‘SZA who?’ asked the uninitiated – she is the perfect conduit for our heightened empathy, too cerebral to raise the roof but potent enough to eke out our last reserves of euphoria.’
And rising star band The Last Dinner Party were spotlighted as a highlight by the Guardian: ‘There is definitely a hint of contrivance about [The Last Dinner Party], but Abigail Morris is a genuinely charismatic frontwoman; their rampage-through-the-dressing-up-box image leaves them looking fantastic, a striking alternative to a world of ‘relatable’ pop stars and drearily prosaic alt-rock bands with songs that are uniformly great.’
The weekend as a whole? Here’s what Time Out’s events editor, Rosie Hewitson had to say: ‘The 2024 line-up was criticised for lacking anything truly cutting edge, being devoid of star power and altogether playing things too safe,’ she said, ‘But while organisers could certainly have stood to take a few more risks with their programming, the nostalgia-heavy line-up served as proof that sometimes cutting edge is overrated.’ You can have a read of Time Out’s full take on Glastonbury 2024 right here.
