Who will be headlining Glastonbury in 2027? Who will be on a must-see farewell tour? If you’re thinking far ahead like us, then here’s your ultimate guide to the biggest rumoured tours for 2027 in the UK.
Coldplay’s recent stadium tours have smashed records worldwide, with immersive visuals, LED wristbands, and sustainability-led production becoming their signature. Their Wembley and Manchester concerts were among the fastest-selling shows in UK history, attracting fans from across Europe.
At their penultimate Wembley show on September 6, Chris Martin hinted that the Music of the Spheres era is far from finished, telling the crowd the tour still has “another 138 shows to go.” The remark instantly reignited speculation that Coldplay could extend into 2027 with even more major stadium dates. Looking ahead, insiders believe the band may be preparing the final chapter of the project, a move that would naturally align with another UK run. If Coldplay do return in 2027, expect huge demand and another round of record-breaking shows.
Oasis’ 2025 comeback tour was nothing short of historic. Fans waited decades to see the Gallagher brothers reunite, and their return delivered sold-out nights, emotional sing-alongs and a new wave of nostalgia-fuelled excitement. With hype around the band still sky-high, speculation is growing that the reunion may continue into 2027.
Rumours suggest more stadium dates could be added, with iconic venues like Knebworth, Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium and Co-op Live among the likely contenders. Fan forums and industry insiders are also whispering about the possibility of new music, something that would almost certainly trigger a massive touring cycle. If you missed out on tickets last time, 2027 could be another chance.
Although the official Glastonbury Festival 2027 lineup is still some way off, speculation is already intensifying around who could headline the iconic Pyramid Stage when the festival returns after its traditional fallow year in 2026. One of the most talked-about names in the mix is Harry Styles, who remains a favourite among fans and industry insiders alike following his hugely successful solo career and reputation as a standout live performer. Another artist generating serious buzz is Olivia Dean, whose rapid rise and critically acclaimed performances have seen her tipped as a future Glastonbury mainstay, potentially stepping into headline territory by 2027.
There is also growing excitement around the possibility of Oasis making a historic return to Worthy Farm, with reunion rumours continuing to dominate headlines and fuel festival speculation. Meanwhile, Sam Fender is widely viewed as one of the UK’s strongest contemporary festival acts, having already delivered several landmark headline-level performances across major UK events. Global megastars are firmly part of the conversation too, with Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift both frequently linked with future Glastonbury appearances thanks to their unparalleled touring success and cross-generational appeal.
Rounding out the rumour mill are rock icons Foo Fighters, who have a long-standing relationship with Glastonbury and remain a popular choice among fans for a triumphant return to the Pyramid Stage. While none of these names are confirmed, the sheer calibre of artists being linked to Glastonbury Festival 2027 underlines just how significant the year could be, shaping up to be one of the most hotly anticipated editions in the festival’s history.

Music Event Diary
Taylor Swift’s recent UK appearances have been some of the most significant moments in modern pop touring history. Her eight-night residency at Wembley Stadium set a new record for the venue, cementing her status as one of the biggest artists on the planet. With her ability to dominate charts and social platforms simultaneously, any hint of new music instantly sparks global speculation.
Many expect that Swift’s next creative chapter may arrive before 2027, and historically, each album cycle has been closely followed by world touring. The success of the Eras Tour in London and Edinburgh makes a return almost inevitable, with some predicting expanded production or a thematic shift that could anchor a brand-new stadium run.
Ed Sheeran fans worldwide are buzzing with excitement as his incredible 2026 ‘The Loop Tour’ of the USA approaches. The rumours are very strong that Ed will continue his tour into 2027 with his sensational Wembley headline shows a highlight of his illustrious career so far.
Fans have reported that Ed has confirmed this, so hopefully it’s only a matter of time before the Ed Sheeran 2027 European tour dates are released.
Beyoncé has consistently redefined what stadium touring looks like, with the Cowboy Carter tour raising the bar for production, choreography and visual artistry. Her ability to dominate every stage she steps onto keeps demand for her live shows incredibly high.
Industry rumours suggest Beyoncé may be working on new music and planning a follow-up tour, making 2027 a strong possibility for a UK return. Wembley Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Cardiff’s Principality Stadium are expected to be the first venues considered. If she returns to the UK, expect a show that pushes creative boundaries yet again, potentially featuring new choreography, expanded visuals and a bold evolution of her sound.
U2 continue to tease fans with talk of new music and potential tour dates, especially after high-profile performances and interviews hinting at a renewed desire to reconnect with European audiences. Their Sphere residency in Las Vegas proved they can still innovate at the highest level.
If they tour in 2027, the focus may be on reconnecting with European crowds, especially after hints from band members about new material. A return to traditional stadiums would give fans a more intimate contrast to their high-tech Vegas shows, while older hits may receive updated arrangements that reflect the band’s current artistic vision. Bassist Adam Clayton has suggested that a tour in 2026 or 2027 is likely, depending on the progress of their next album.
Olivia Rodrigo has transformed from rising star to global powerhouse within just a few years. Following her standout Glastonbury performance and the enormous success of her GUTS world tour, fans are already anticipating her next move.
While nothing is confirmed, the likelihood of Rodrigo returning to the UK in 2027 is high, especially if she releases new music. With more experience, new musical influences and growing stage confidence, fans expect a tour that feels more expansive. A move into larger arenas or even outdoor venues wouldn’t be surprising based on her current trajectory.
Dua Lipa continues to rise as one of the UK’s most successful global artists. After dominating charts and festival stages in recent years, fans are expecting another new album cycle soon.
If new music arrives in 2026, a major 2027 arena or stadium tour is almost certain. Venues like The O2, Co-op Live and Wembley Stadium would be natural fits. Her ability to blend choreography, visuals and crowd energy makes her tours major cultural moments.
While nothing is confirmed yet, 2027 is already shaping up to be one of the most exciting years in live music. From iconic reunions to global megastars and potential new album cycles, the stage is set for another unforgettable year of concerts across the UK.
