Probably, I mean it was already rumored. Why would she say no pressure? So 100% she will be a headliner:)

matteotempo · Guru

Yeah she will headline Party in The Park 2024. I'll be there 'cause I'm already in London that week.

Melissa · Senior Member

Is this one still a possibility I wonder!

LJ-R · Senior Member

Quite sure she is doing the legend’s slot on Sunday. The other dates of the UK summer tour are perfectly aligned around it

According to Hits Daily Double, "Dua Lipa, Coldplay and Shania Twain are expected to headline Glastonbury."

Headlining instead of the Legends slot is the respect she deserved! So excited if this is true 😍

Sleuths think Glastonbury 2024 line-up will land in matter of days after excruciating wait

By Kitty Chrisp | Metro - UK | February 22, 2024

March is almost upon us and we have no idea who is headlining Glastonbury 2024, with not one official line-up announcement so far.

According to Glastonbury sleuthing account TheGlastoThingy, this is the longest ticketholders have waited since 2007 without any official Glastonbury line-up announcements, with the November ticket scramble seeming like a lifetime ago.

Line up speculation has been rife, with a few Glastonbury-shaped holes in tour dates from artists including Royal Blood, Pearl Jam, Shania Twain, Doja Cat and Girls Aloud – but so far no one has been confirmed straight from the horse’s mouth.

Word online is that the Glastonbury 2024 line-up could be announced on March 1 if the theme of the last two years is anything to go by.

While usually we’d have one or two headliner confirmations at this point in the year, the full line-up isn’t usually announced until March time.

In 2022 and 2023 the line-up was announced on the first Friday of March – and this is historically the most common day of the week for Glastonbury line-up announcements.

When is Glastonbury 2024?

Glastonbury is taking place from Wednesday June 26 – 30, with most of the music on the last three days.

If you haven’t got a ticket, the festival will be broadcasted on the BBC.

Can you still get Glastonbury 2024 tickets?

Unfortunately, tickets are all sold out. But fear not – there is a resale in April of any cancelled or returned tickets, which will give hopefuls their last chance to attend. They cost £360.

Glastonbury 2024 is scheduled to take place between June 26-30. The first two batches of tickets went on sale last November, but have now sold out. A resale is expected to be held in April – find out how to buy tickets here.

The first line-up poster traditionally arrives in early March. No acts have been officially announced as of yet.

Back in November, it was reported that Madonna, Dua Lipa and Coldplay would be topping the bill this summer. Emily Eavis, however, later said the rumours about the confirmed headliners were “untrue”.

Eavis had previously revealed that the Legends Slot on Sunday afternoon would be occupied by a female artist in 2024, with recent rumours for that set including Stevie Nicks and Shania Twain.

Additionally, Eavis hinted once again that there could be two female headliners closing the iconic Pyramid Stage.

“Last week I got a call from a really big American artist saying this person’s around next year,” she explained at the time. “And I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is incredible’. Thank God we held the slot.”

Whats a Legend's slot verses a headliner slot? Like the difference

The Legends slot is an older artist and can be considered as the "highlight" of the Glastonbury festival. The Legends slot artist always performs on Sunday afternoon on the final day of the festival.

Dua Lipa and Coldplay to headline Glastonbury with Shania Twain in legends slot

By Charlotte McLaughlin and Naomi Clarke | Yahoo! News - UK | March 14, 2024

Shania Twain will play the legends slot at Glastonbury while British singer Dua Lipa, rock band Coldplay and American singer Sza were announced as this year’s headliners.

Canadian singer Twain, known for hits including Man! I Feel Like A Woman!, You’re Still The One and That Don’t Impress Me Much, will perform on Sunday afternoon at the Worthy Farm festival in Somerset – which is being held from June 26 to 30.

The five-time Grammy award-winner has sold more than 100 million records, making her one of the most successful musicians.

Twain told Radio 2’s The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show: “I really am so excited. I mean, the best part of it is being able to share it now. It’s just so exciting. It’s been hard to keep it to myself, to be honest. So I’m really glad that this is announced. And I’m just buzzing.

“There’s like a stamp that comes with this slot and I feel like I’m therend e, I’ve arrived at this slot. It’s going to be gorgeous, at sunset time, it is stunning. I’ve watched some of the other performances and I’m already planning what I’m going to wear. You know, all that exciting stuff.”

For 15 years, Twain did not release new music following a bout of Lyme disease that caused her to lose her voice, but then returned from hiatus with the album Now.

In 2018, she underwent open throat surgery after her voice was damaged by the effects of the debilitating illness and this year will also kick off her third Las Vegas residency, being held at the Bakkt Theatre at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in May.

Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis had previously revealed she had booked a major female artist for the slot.

Also taking to the Pyramid Stage will be US rock band LCD Soundsystem, British rapper Little Simz, Nigerian singer Burna Boy, 80s chart-topper singer Cyndi Lauper and British soul star Olivia Dean.

Hidden Figures star and US singer Janelle Monae, Mercury Prize winner Michael Kiwanuka, British singer-songwriter Paul Heaton, UK rock band Keane, British singer Paloma Faith and Nigerian singer Ayra Starr are also among those performing on the main stage.

Before Dua Lipa was announced for the first day of the festival, which marks her Pyramid Stage debut, she revealed her first album in four years would be titled Radical Optimism on Wednesday.

On Instagram, she wrote: “I have dreamt of this moment all my life. Something that lived only in my wildest dreams and highest manifestations!!!

“I am so excited to see you all in my favourite place on earth and make it a night to remember!!”

Her third studio album, which will arrive on May 3, will feature 11 tracks including hit singles Houdini and Training Season, and comes after she won the best pop act award at the Brits earlier this month.

Coldplay will make their first Pyramid Stage appearance since 2016 on the Saturday night, becoming the first act to headline Glastonbury five times.

They move ahead of The Cure, who have taken a headline slot four times.

The Sunday night headliner is Grammy and Brit winner Sza, real name Solana Imani Rowe, known for the songs Snooze and Ghost In The Machine featuring Phoebe Bridgers.

On the Other Stage are US rock band The National, Canadian singer Avril Lavigne, former Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello, Brit Rising Star winners The Last Dinner Party, singer-songwriter Anne-Marie, Dry Your Eyes singer The Streets and Northern Ireland band Two Door Cinema Club.

On Instagram, Eavis wrote: “I’m so happy to be able to bring you the first shortlist of artists for Glastonbury 2024.

“There is even more to come over the coming weeks, when we will be bringing you the full line ups for each area.”

Jungle and drum and bass musician Nia Archives, Brazil singer Declan McKenna, K-pop stars Seventeen, indie pop band London Grammar and Irish rock band Fontaines DC are also among the acts for the festival.

I know you love horses – Shania Twain mulls over taking animals to Glastonbury

By Charlotte McLaughlin and Naomi Clarke | Yahoo! News - UK | March 14, 2024

Shania Twain is mulling over taking horses with her on stage at Glastonbury when the country pop star plays the coveted Sunday afternoon legends slot.

The Canadian singer, known for hits including Man! I Feel Like A Woman! and That Don’t Impress Me Much, was announced as among the performers for the Worthy Farm festival in Somerset.

She will follow in the footsteps of fellow major artists such as Yusuf/Cat Stevens, Diana Ross, Kylie Minogue and Dame Shirley Bassey who have all filled the prestigious slot.

Twain, 58, told BBC Radio 2’s The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show: “Honestly, I feel like it’s well, I don’t know if this is the right language, but it feels like an accolade of sorts because it really feels like something that you have to earn. It’s just very rewarding, it’s a really beautiful feeling.”

She added that “so many of my heroes” including Lionel Richie and Dolly Parton have performed in the Sunday afternoon slot.

When asked if she would have horses on stage, similar to her Las Vegas residency, Twain said: “Oh god, wouldn’t that be … OK, who can pull those strings for me?

“You’ve just put something in my mind. I know that you guys love your horses, this could, you know, I wonder, hmmm, let me think about this.

“Maybe I could show up on a carriage, you know, a team of horses or something. I’m sure that could be arranged.”

She told the same radio station in 2017 that bringing horses on stage helped her when she was having difficulties with her voice.

“I do this liberty work with the horse … I do You’re Still The One with it and it’s like this psychological distraction,” Twain said.

She did not release an album for 15 years following a bout of Lyme disease that caused her to lose her singing voice.

In 2018, she underwent open-throat surgery to repair damage done by the debilitating illness.

She returned from her hiatus with Now, which shot straight to number one on both sides of the Atlantic, and followed it up last year with the joyous and equally successful record Queen Of Me.

Twain also told Radio 2 that her Glastonbury show will be “an energy exchange”.

“It’s (going to) be all the hits first of all, so I expect us to all be singing, word for word the whole time through, so it’ll be high energy,” she added.

“That sunset glow party energy with all the hits.”

She also revealed that she had not yet told Richie, who she described as a “mentor” and played the same Legends slot in 2015.

Twain also said: “Oh my god, honestly this is, would never have even entered my mind that I would ever even make it across the border from Canada to go anywhere, so it was always my dream, honestly, to go around the world, but, yeah, I can’t believe it, I’m actually going to Glastonbury, I’m really, it’s happening, it’s happening guys.”

The five-time Grammy-award winner has sold more than 100 million records in her career, making her one of the most successful musicians ever.

Her 1993 debut, self-titled studio album was well received by critics but it was her 1995 follow-up, The Woman In Me, that shot her to fame.

The diamond-certified record went to number one in the US country chart and she furthered her success with 1997’s Come On Over, which featured singles including You’re Still The One and That Don’t Impress Me Much.

It earned her four Grammy Awards and remains the biggest-selling studio album of all time by a solo female artist, propelling her career to stratospheric heights when she was in her early thirties.

Her fourth album Up!, which included hits I’m Gonna Getcha Good! and Ka-Ching!, was also a commercial success following its release in 2002.

The singer will kick off her third Las Vegas residency being held at the Bakkt Theatre at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in May.

Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis had previously revealed she booked a major female artist for the legends slot.

Last year, folk singer-songwriter Yusuf took festival-goers on a melodic journey through the ages when he performed during the legends slot, playing classic tracks from his back catalogue along with songs from his latest 17th studio album.

How long will the performance be? There's a lot of people complaining saying she should be a headliner and that the legends slot is an insult to her legacy. I'm not sure what to think

The Legend’s slot is one of the most anticipated parts of the festival. She will nail it ❤️

This is really GREAT! The rumor was out there for weeks but now is true.
Let's hope they can fix the "Queen of Me Tour" technical issues for all those Summer shows she will play.

Glastonbury Announces 2024 Ticket Resale Date – But It Will Be ‘Limited’

Organisers have warned there will be fewer tickets up for grabs than previous years.

By Hollie Geraghty | Huffington Post - UK | April 9, 2024

Glastonbury 2024 hopefuls can put a ring around the calendar, because this year’s re-sale date has finally been announced.

Organiser Emily Eavis announced yesterday that this year the “highest percentage of ticket balances” ever had been paid up, meaning the 2024 resale will be “very limited”.

The annual resale comprises tickets for which the balance was not paid before the cut off date, giving music fans the chance to land some much coveted tickets for the 2024 bash, which takes place from 26-30 June at Worthy Farm in Pilton.

This year, the resales will take place on Thursday, 18 April (Ticket + Coach travel options) at 6pm BST, and Sunday, 21 April (General Admission tickets) at 9am BST.

Any cancelled accommodation options (Worthy View, Sticklinch, Campervan/Caravan passes) will then be made available on Sunday, 21 April at 11am BST.

The resale will only be available at this link, and you can find more information here.

This year’s headliners were revealed last month, with Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA set to top the bill. Shania Twain has also been announced to play the Legends slot on Sunday.

Attendees will also be able to look forward to performances from Avril Lavigne, Little Simz, Burna Boy, Cyndi Lauper, Olivia Dean and many more.

This year marks the first time in Glasto history that two of the three headline slots will be filled by female acts.

Meanwhile, we recently found out how much Glasto tickets cost back in 1971, and honestly, you won’t believe it.
