British pop star Dua Lipa was the first headliner at Glastonbury Festival 2024, taking to the Pyramid Stage on Friday night (Friday 28 June) at Worthy Farm.
Over the weekend, an eclectic lineup of artists will perform across the sprawling festival’s various stages – but organiser Emily Eavis has denied any rumours of “big surprises”.
Here’s the full Glastonbury 2024 lineup and exact times.
Ahead of Dua Lipa’s performance, which was plagued by a broadcast issue on the BBC, the Sugababes’ set on the West Holts stage attracted huge crowds, with reports of fans fainting during the show, while security prevented others from entering in an attempt to reduce overcrowding.
Dua Lipa, 28, performed a medley of hits, from her collaboration with Elton John, “Cold Heart,” to “New Rules” and “Training Season.”
Earlier this week, Glastonbury organisers confirmed they would not be showing England’s Euro 2024 last-16 match at the festival.
If you’re following from home, the BBC has shared its coverage schedule for the weekend.

“Are you pro-Palestine?” he asked amid enthusiastic cheers. “Do you feel this is an unjust war?”
He continued: “The importance of voting next week… Now, I don’t blame you for being hesitant about that, but it’s still really important. And thirdly, maybe it’s time to stop putting the ’80s in control of the whole world.”
