Glastonbury Festival has unveiled its 2026 headline lineup, with Beyoncé, Arctic Monkeys, and Dua Lipa confirmed as the three Pyramid Stage headliners for the festival’s June 24-28 run at Worthy Farm in Somerset, England. The announcement, made on the official Glastonbury social media channels, generated immediate interest globally and sent ticket resale prices soaring within hours.
Beyoncé’s appearance would be her second Glastonbury headline slot, following her 2011 performance which remains one of the festival’s most-discussed bookings. Her 2025 Cowboy Carter world tour established her as the highest-grossing touring artist of the year, and the Glastonbury performance would extend a run of landmark live events. Arctic Monkeys return to headline for the third time, having previously topped the bill in 2013 and 2023, giving them a status few acts have achieved at the festival.
Dua Lipa’s headline booking confirms a trajectory that has made her one of the most commercially dominant British artists of her generation. Her most recent album, Radical Optimism, produced some of her biggest global streaming numbers, and a Glastonbury headline slot gives her a UK live moment at the scale that matches that reach.
The wider 2026 lineup spans more than 3,000 performances across more than 80 stages. Supporting acts across the Pyramid Stage bill across the five days include Charli XCX, Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter, and FKA twigs, among hundreds of others. Glastonbury is one of the world’s largest performing arts festivals, with an attendance of around 210,000 across the full event.
Tickets for the 2026 festival sold out within hours of general sale last October. Resale platforms reported immediate activity following the lineup announcement, with full weekend passes changing hands at several times their face value.
The festival opens on Wednesday June 24 and runs through Sunday June 28. Updates and set times will be posted as they are confirmed on the Glastonbury official site. Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism era has produced several of her most performed live tracks. Beyoncé’s tour dates have been among the entertainment industry’s most-watched events of the past two years. Fans tracking the summer festival circuit will find Glastonbury’s 2026 lineup among the strongest in recent memory.
