It’s not just the awards that characterise the BRITs, the ceremony is renowned for some of the greatest musical performances of all time from Adele in 2011 to Stormzy in 2018, artists have taken on the challenge of the biggest stage with aplomb, to provide a thrilling atmosphere. This year JADE, Myles Smith and others will take to the stage in the hope that they can emulate incredible performances from the past.

Coldplay Tour 2025: Everything you need to know

Coldplay are set to conclude their incredible three-year long world tour with a record-breaking 10 nights at Wembley Stadium next summer. The British band have been wowing fans across the globe with their ‘Music of the Spheres’ tour since March 2022 and it’ll come to a close in the capital next year.

Since forming in 1997, the four-piece rock group have established themselves as one of the biggest acts on the planet. They’ve sold more than 100 million albums since forming and the latest leg of their world tour has sold out. It’s currently the second highest-grossing tour of all time, with only Taylor Swift’s ‘The Eras Tour’ ahead of it in the rankings. It’s also won countless awards and has broken the Guinness World Record for ‘Highest Attendance For A Music Tour’.

Coldplay released Moon Music earlier this month – it’s their 10th studio album and will feature heavily on the tour alongside their previous record, Music of the Spheres. The latest release includes hits like ‘Feels Like I’m Falling In Love’, as well as ‘We Pray’ featuring Little Simz and Burna Boy.

Their tour shows are split into four blockbuster parts, with 28 songs, although this may alter slightly following their latest release. As well as tracks from their two recent albums, they’ll also treat fans to performances of their classic big hits, including Yellow, Fix You, Clocks, The Scientist and Viva La Vida.

Ahead of the finale of their eighth world tour, here’s everything you need to know about Coldplay’s ‘Music of the Spheres’ tour.

When are Coldplay playing on their 2025 world tour?

Coldplay’s ‘Music of the Sphere’s world tour kicked off in Costa Rica back in March 2022 and is set to conclude in London next September, meaning it will have been going for three-and-a-half years by the time it comes to a close.

The band are finishing 2024 with several dates in Australia and New Zealand, before heading to Asia in the New Year, playing in Abu Dhabi, Mumbai, Hong Kong and Seoul between January and April.

Following that, they’ll travel to the USA and Canada, performing shows in Sanford, Las Vegas, Denver, El Paso, Toronto, Boston, Madison, Nashville and Miami. Following their trip across the pond, they’ll come back to the UK for the home straight.

Coldplay are set to kick off the UK leg of their tour with two nights at Hull’s Craven Park Stadium, before they travel south to London for 10 sell-out gigs at Wembley.

Coldplay Tour 2025 hospitality

If you fancy seeing Coldplay on the final stretch of their world tour, why not enjoy it from the best seats in the house? Engage offers premium hospitality options for all 10 dates at Wembley, with packages available for groups of all sizes.

Our VIBE facility offers you a pitch-view lounge, a complimentary bar and buffet, plus access to an exclusive aftershow party. Meanwhile, our Diamond and Gold packages also offer a range of drink and food options, as well as unrivalled views of the concert, plus so much more. Enquire today to book your place.

Who could support Coldplay at Wembley?

Coldplay have confirmed that a mystery guest is set to take to the Wembley stage with them next year, although they’re remaining tight-lipped about who it could be. Their tour so far has featured plenty of exciting support acts, including H.E.R, London Grammar, Camilla Cabello and Griff.

They’ve also given a platform to countless local artists in each of the countries they’ve performed in, so their Wembley shows could be an opportunity to showcase some up and coming stars from the capital.

Alternatively, as the Wembley dates are the final leg of their world tour, they may want to go out with a bang and bring out some superstars. Oasis are also performing at Wembley next year and Liam Gallagher and Chris Martin have performed together in the past. Similarly, Dua Lipa has performed on Coldplay’s previous ‘A Head Full of Dreams’ tour in Brazil and Argentina. As good as either of those would be, they’re probably unlikely to happen.

As well as having strong opening acts, Coldplay have also introduced a number of special guests on some of their songs throughout the tour, including Selena Gomez, Michael J Fox and Shawn Mendes, as well as British actor Simon Pegg, who played the tambourine during ‘A Sky Full of Stars’ in London in August 2022.

The BRIT Awards 2025: Everything you need to know

The BRIT Awards is one of the biggest nights in the music calendar and the countdown for the 2025 ceremony is on. Next year’s event will take place on Saturday 1st March and some of the world’s biggest stars will be crossing their fingers and hoping they’ll be walking away with a trophy or two.

Raye stole the show earlier this year on a record-breaking night and there will be plenty of others looking to follow in her footsteps. The 45th edition of the BRITs will once again take place at the O2 Arena and will be live on ITV. Ahead of the iconic event, here’s everything you need to know so far.

What happened last time?

The 2024 BRIT Awards took place in March earlier this year and it was certainly a night to remember for British superstar Raye. Following a meteoric rise over the previous 12 months, during which she released her debut album, she enjoyed a record-breaking evening at the awards.

Raye made history as she won an incredible six awards from seven nominations, including ‘Best New Artist’ and ‘British Album of the Year’ for My 21st Century Blues. Prior to her seven award wins, no artist had ever won more than four in one go, a feat previously achieved by Adele, Blur and Harry Styles.

There were also big wins for plenty of global stars, including Dua Lipa for ‘Best Pop Act’, Calvin Harris for ‘Best Dance Act’ and Miley Cyrus for ‘Best International Song’ with smash hit ‘Flowers’. Dua Lipa and Raye were among the performers that night, alongside plenty of others including Kylie Minogue, Becky Hill and Jungle.

The show was broadcast live on ITV and was presented by Maya Jama, Roman Kemp and Clara Amfo. Organisers are yet to reveal who will be hosting the 2025 awards but it may well be that trio again. Previous hosts have taken charge for several ceremonies before stepping aside, including Mo Gilligan, Jack Whitehall, Ant and Dec, James Corden and Chris Evans.

Who could win at the 2025 BRIT Awards?

Following Raye’s dominance at the 2024 edition, it could be another year of girl power. British superstar Dua Lipa was nominated for three awards last time out and following another stellar 12 months, more could be coming her way.

She stole the show when headlining Glastonbury during the summer as she celebrated the long-awaited release of Radical Optimism, her third studio album that features top hits including ‘Training Season’, ‘Houdini’ and ‘Illusion’.

Meanwhile, another British icon has emerged this year in the form of Charli XCX. The 32-year-old has been known in the music scene for more than 10 years but she came to prominence this year thanks to the popularity of Brat, her sixth album.

Elsewhere, after missing out on winning ‘British Artist of the Year’ and ‘Best Dance Act’, Fred Again will likely find himself nominated again. The singer and DJ’s latest album Ten Days came out earlier this month. Plus, following the release of their latest album Moon Music last week, iconic band Coldplay may well be a shoo-in to win the award for ‘British Group’.

In terms of international awards, it’s been another stellar year for female pop stars. Taylor Swift has continued her trajectory into a global icon and was recently declared as the richest female musician on earth. Her 2024 release The Tortured Poets Department broke multiple streaming records, becoming the most-streamed album in a single day.

Swift enjoyed an incredible 2024 but she wasn’t alone, with other stars from across the pond providing stiff competition. Sabrina Carpenter has become another global sensation and her hit track ‘Espresso’ will likely challenge for ‘Best International Song’. Elsewhere, Billie Eilish and Chappell Roan will also be in contention for the international gongs.

Who could perform at the BRIT awards?

While plenty of the names mentioned above will likely perform, including Dua Lipa, there will be one act that fans will be desperate to see. Oasis have finally made a comeback and are set for a mega UK and international tour next year. They’ve enjoyed their fair share of famous BRIT moments, including a public dig at rivals Blur during the 1996 ceremony.

Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher haven’t performed together since 2009 and ahead of their reunion tour kicking off next July, many that didn’t manage to get tickets will have their fingers crossed that they might treat fans to a sneak preview at the BRITs.

Oasis Live ‘25: Everything you need to know

After years of rumours, speculation, hopes, dreams and prayers, it’s finally happening. Long-time feuding brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have settled their differences – Oasis are back!

The iconic band have announced a reunion tour next summer, with at least 17 shows in the UK and Ireland before an as yet unannounced worldwide tour. Tickets went on sale over the weekend and fans are desperately hoping the band will announce more dates after thousands were left empty-handed due to the incredible demand.

2024 marked the 30-year anniversary of Oasis’ incredible debut album Definitely Maybe and fans will have the opportunity to hear the band’s greatest hits from the record live for the first time in 16 years, including ‘Live Forever’ and ‘Supersonic’, as well as classic anthems from other albums such as ‘Wonderwall’, ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’ and ‘Champagne Supernova’.

After many fallouts, the group split for good in 2009 and both brothers embarked on their own solo adventures. The pair often sing Oasis tracks at their own gigs but fans have been desperate to hear the siblings perform together again.

It’s finally happening, with gigs across the UK and Ireland, and you could watch them from the best seats in the house. With hospitality options available at all venues, including our exclusive ICON facility at Wembley Stadium, you can enjoy the gigs in style. Enquire today to find out more.

When are Oasis playing in 2025?

Oasis have so far announced 17 dates in the UK and Ireland next year, with their reunion tour getting underway in Cardiff. They’ll then play five hometown gigs at Heaton Park in Manchester before heading to the capital for another five dates at London’s Wembley Stadium.

The UK and Ireland tour is currently set to end with three nights in Edinburgh and a further two in Dublin, although with many empty dates left in July and August, there’s still the possibility that they could announce more.

Who could be supporting Oasis?

Obviously an Oasis reunion wouldn’t work without both Liam and Noel. The brothers were part of the original line-up that first started playing together in 1991. The Oasis members changed several times throughout their original period and another of their founding members looks set to be part of the return.

Guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs is also expected to be part of the reunion line-up. Bonehead co-founded the band but eventually left in 1999 in order to spend more time with his family. Since then he’s performed with Liam on his solo projects and with his band Beady Eye.

Alan White has also teased he could be set for a return. The drummer replaced Tony McCarroll in 1995 and was part of the band for nine years. White posted a cryptic image of Oasis’ famous swirly union jack drum kit on social media, fuelling speculation that he’ll be part of the reunion.

It remains unclear who else will be part of the band, with some suggestions that it could be made up of members of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. However, as it’s such a momentous event in music history, we’re almost guaranteed to see a selection of guest stars throughout the tour.

Who is in the band?

There have been plenty of rumours about who could support the band on their tour. Oasis have got so many friends in the industry and it’s such a huge occasion that they could pretty much invite whoever they like to open for them.

Nobody is confirmed yet but there have been whispers that the support acts could be different for each location. Blossoms have been heavily linked with playing at the Manchester shows. The Stockport band teased the Oasis return at one of their gigs before the reunion was officially announced.

Meanwhile, Welsh group Manic Street Preachers would be an obvious choice for the Cardiff dates. Kasabian have been a long-time support act for Liam and their long list of well-known hits combined with their high-energy performances make them the perfect act to warm up the crowd.

Fontaines DC have also been linked following their huge rise in recent years, while the likes of Inhaler, The Maccabees and The View have also been mentioned. And if Liam and Noel can put their differences aside, perhaps Oasis might extend an olive branch to old rivals Blur, who also made a comeback last year with their first album since 2015.

Could Oasis finally be touring in 2025? – Yes!

Rumours about an Oasis reunion were true!

10 Facts about Oasis

  1. Formation: Oasis was formed in Manchester in 1991. The band originally consisted of Liam Gallagher (vocals), Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs (guitar), Paul McGuigan (bass), and Tony McCarroll (drums). Noel Gallagher, Liam’s older brother, joined shortly after as the lead guitarist and main songwriter.
  2. Debut Album Success: Their debut album, Definitely Maybe (1994), became the fastest-selling debut album in British history at the time. It included hits like “Supersonic” and “Live Forever.”
  3. Britpop Rivalry: Oasis had a famous rivalry with fellow Britpop band Blur in the mid-90s. Their singles “Roll with It” (Oasis) and “Country House” (Blur) were released on the same day in 1995, with Blur winning the chart battle. However, Oasis ultimately outlasted them in popularity.
  4. Iconic Album: Their second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995), was a massive global success. It featured classic tracks like “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” and “Champagne Supernova.” The album has sold over 22 million copies worldwide.
  5. Gallagher Brothers’ Feud: Noel and Liam Gallagher’s volatile relationship was a defining feature of the band. Their frequent public arguments contributed to the band’s tension and eventual split in 2009.
  6. Knebworth Concerts: In 1996, Oasis played two legendary concerts at Knebworth Park to over 250,000 people over two nights. Over 2.5 million people applied for tickets, making it one of the biggest outdoor concerts in British history.
  7. Noel Gallagher’s Songwriting: Noel wrote the majority of the band’s songs and became known for his anthemic style and sharp lyrics. Songs like “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” became modern classics.
  8. Rock and Roll Lifestyle: Oasis was known for their wild, rock-star lifestyles, including heavy drinking, drugs, and infamous outbursts. This added to their rebellious image in the 90s music scene.
  9. Awards and Recognition: Over the years, Oasis won numerous awards, including Brit Awards for Best British Album (for (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?) and Best British Band. They are considered one of the most influential British bands of all time.
  10. Breakup: The band finally split in 2009 after Noel left the band following a backstage fight with Liam. Noel went on to form Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, while Liam started Beady Eye, and later pursued a solo career.

Oasis’s legacy remains strong, with their music continuing to influence modern rock and indie bands.

Rolling out the red carpet at the BRIT Awards in 2025!

Guaranteed to be as spectacular and as breath-taking as ever, the 32nd edition of the Brits will showcase the best of British as well as the diverse range of talent the industry has to offer, making it the number one place to be when the stars are rolled out on the red carpet again.

Fans across the world tune in every year to celebrate the headline acts, creating a joyous and unforgettable atmosphere throughout the ceremony.

Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa has firmly established herself as one of the biggest stars in the world and she stole the show at Glastonbury earlier this year, headlining the prestigious Pyramid stage on the Friday night.

And if you weren’t able to see that iconic performance in the flesh, you’re in luck because she’s doing two dates at Wembley Stadium in London next summer, with a second show added due to overwhelming public demand.

This year, Dua Lipa released her highly anticipated third studio album, Radical Optimism, and is set to wow London audiences with top hits from the record, including fan favourites ‘Training Season’ and ‘Houdini’. It follows a highly successful tour of the album, which is set to continue with shows in America, Asia and a one-off special night at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

She’ll then be back in London in June with her headline Wembley shows, which you can enjoy from the best seats in the house with Engage’s exclusive hospitality packages.

Following in the footsteps of fellow pop sensation Dua Lipa, Sabrina Carpenter has also enjoyed a breakthrough in recent years. The former Disney Channel star’s sixth studio album Short n’ Sweet became a global phenomenon in 2024.

The album’s lead track ‘Espresso’ is very much a fan favourite and her loyal followers in London will have the chance to hear it in person when she takes to the O2 stage in two shows next spring.

Carpenter has previously supported Taylor Swift on The Eras Tour and she’s now selling out shows of her own. If you fancy joining us for what promises to be two incredible nights, enquire today to book your place.

The ‘No Time To Die’ singer will be touring her third album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, which was released in May of this year. And after touring the US, Australia and Europe, she’ll be heading to the UK, with six shows at the O2 and several other nights in Glasgow and Manchester.

It’s not just female stars taking over London next year. The O2 Arena will also host a series of concerts from the likes of Snow Patrol, James Blunt and Craig David.

Northern Irish band Snow Patrol have been rocking out together for more than 30 years and their first album in six years is set to be released next month. They’ll be embarking on a UK and European tour to celebrate, with a night at the O2 in February.

Saturday 15th February, 2025 – O2 Arena

Thursday 20th February, 2025 – O2 Arena

Glastonbury

It feels as though this year’s festival has only just finished but attention has already turned to next year’s Glastonbury. The 2024 edition saw iconic performances from the likes of Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA, and rumours have already begun circling about who will headline in a year’s time.

Taylor Swift has long been rumoured having previously been set to perform in 2020 before the festival was cancelled due to the pandemic. She’s enjoyed remarkable success in recent years and would undoubtedly draw record crowds if she were to grace the Pyramid Stage.

Meanwhile, the likes of Rihanna and Eminem have been reported, with both stars yet to perform at the festival. There has been plenty of talk regarding other huge acts, including Green Day, The Killers, Ed Sheeran and Olivia Rodrigo. However, for now the organisers remain tight-lipped and we’re unlikely to hear any confirmed news until later in the autumn.

The biggest concerts to look forward to in June

With festival season just around the corner, music fans up and down the country are buying their tents and desperately praying it doesn’t rain. But if you fancy enjoying the world’s best artists without having to dig out your muddy wellies, we’ve got you covered.

There are plenty of exciting concerts to look forward to in June, including huge tours from the likes of Taylor Swift and Liam Gallgher. Luckily for you, we’ve put everything you need to know all here in one place.

Liam Gallagher

With this year marking the 30th anniversary of Oasis’ iconic debut album Definitely Maybe, fans had been crossing their fingers that the squabbling brothers might put their differences aside and finally reunite.

Sadly, that hasn’t happened. However, Liam Gallgher is offering the next best thing by putting on a Definitely Maybe tour, playing the best tracks from the record including ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Star’, ‘Live Forever’, ‘Supersonic’ and ‘Cigarettes and Alcohol’.

The 51-year-old is doing 12 dates in June, including three in his home city of Manchester in the brand-new Co-op Live venue, as well as at the O2 in London. The tour kicked off in Sheffield earlier this week and Liam was reunited with Oasis guitarist Bonehead. He also sang Half the World Away for the first time ever, dedicating the track to brother Noel.

As well as his tour, Liam is one of the headliners for Reading and Leeds Festival later this summer alongside the likes of Blink-182, Lana Del Rey and Fred Again.

Capital Summertime Ball

One of the biggest days in the pop music calendar returns to Wembley this month. The Capital Summertime Ball is an annual tradition, giving fans a festival experience in a state-of-the-art venue.

This year, the stage will be graced by Raye, who has enjoyed a phenomenal breakthrough year. The 26-year-old made history at this year’s BRIT awards, winning a record six gongs from her seven nominations.

Meanwhile, the Sugababes, Becky Hill, Ella Henderson, David Guetta, Perrie Edwards, Aitch and plenty of others will also be performing. The hospitality areas at Wembley offer a unique, luxury experience. Enquire today to book your place for the Summertime Ball on Sunday 16th June.

American Express presents BST Hyde Park

It wouldn’t be a summer of music without British Summer Time in Hyde Park. The legendary event has seen countless stars perform over the years, including Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi and Take That.

This year, American superstar SZA will take to the stage on the same weekend that she’ll be performing at Glastonbury. Enjoy her biggest hits from the comfort of the hospitality areas on Saturday 29th June.

The following night, Sunday 30th June, sees Kings of Leon headline. They’ll be rocking out and wowing fans with classics including ‘Sex on Fire’ and ‘Use Somebody’, as well as tracks from their album Can We Please Have Fun, which came out earlier this year.

Later in the summer, Andrea Bocelli, Robbie Williams, Shania Twain, Stevie Nicks and Kylie Minogue will also perform at the event in Hyde Park.

Coldplay

Another band with huge world dates scheduled is Coldplay, who have been touring their latest album Music of the Spheres since last year. The four-piece have also left time in their schedule at the time of Glastonbury, so we may well see their names when the line-up is announced.

Coldplay are no strangers to the festival, having made the first of their six appearances in 1999. They’ve since headlined four times, taking to the Pyramid stage in 2002, 2005, 2011 and 2016.

Chris Martin and co. were also due to perform in 2021 before the festival was cancelled. Instead, they appeared on the festival livestream event, alongside George Ezra, Kano, Wolf Alice and Damon Albarn.

Hampton Court Palace Festival

The open-air concert action continues at one of the most historical venues in London. The Hampton Court Palace Festival returns with a series of nine gigs throughout June.

Among the headliners are Tom Jones, Nile Rodgers and Chic and Sheryl Crow, as well as Paloma Faith, Jessie J and Eurovision star Sam Ryder.

Tuesday 11th June – Tom Jones
Wednesday 12th June – Nile Rodgers and CHIC
Thursday 13th June – Jack Savoretti
Friday 14th June – Sam Ryder
Saturday 15th June – Bjorn Again
Sunday 16th June – The Rest Is History Live Presents: The Tudors
Tuesday 18th June – Sheryl Crow
Wednesday 19th June – Deacon Blue
Thursday 20th June – Paloma Faith
Friday 21st June – Jessie J

Other concerts in June

There are plenty of other huge concerts taking place in June, including Foo Fighters, who will be performing at Emirates Old Trafford on 13th June. Meanwhile, P!INK will be heading to the capital for two consecutive gigs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 15th and 16th June.

Girls Aloud’s reunion tour heads to Birmingham on 18th June before the girl group do two nights on the trot at the O2. Meanwhile, Green Day have gigs in Manchester and at Wembley. Elsewhere, Pearl Jam will be heading to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium while fans of Gladys Knight can catch her at the Royal Albert Hall.

The concerts you have to see before the end of 2023

We’re approaching the end of the year and as the weather gets colder and the nights get darker, festival season seems like a distant memory. But you don’t need mud, tents and sunshine to have a good time and there’s still plenty of exciting concerts to look forward to before we wave goodbye to 2023.

Next weekend marks the start of an exciting few weeks of concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, with some of the biggest stars in the world taking to the stage. And they’re not the only gigs on the horizon, with a load of mouth-watering concerts coming up in 2024.

Ed Sheeran – Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th November

Having only just finished a sell-out world tour, Ed Sheeran has barely had a chance to breathe. But never one to disappoint, the superstar is treating the Royal Albert Hall to not one but two nights of acoustic magic later this month.

He’s been a busy boy, releasing two albums in 2023, and he’ll be performing the latter of the two in full alongside a live band and string section. ‘Autumn Variations’ was released in September and marks an end to Ed’s maths-themed releases.

The 32-year-old will perform to a packed out venue in London on 18th and 19th November and it will be the last opportunity to see him live before the New Year. His tour saw him perform in Paris, New York and LA among many others and he’ll be back on the road across Europe and Asia in 2024.

But if you can’t wait that long, you can watch him in style with Engage’s exclusive hospitality packages.

Kylie Minogue Friday 1st December

The Royal Albert Hall is no stranger to royalty and it welcomes the ‘Princess of Pop’ to the stage next month in the form of Kylie Minogue.

The Aussie icon released new album Tension back in September, which features the hit single ‘Padam Padam’. Kylie’s latest record flew up the charts and made her the first female artist to have a UK top 10 single in each of the last five decades.

For one night only, she’ll be entertaining the Royal Albert Hall as she introduces ‘An Audience with Kylie’. The Grammy Award winner will perform tracks from her new album, as well as take questions from her celebrity friends in the crowd.

The evening will be broadcast on ITV but if you want to experience it in person, you can enjoy the show from the best seats in the house with our hospitality packages.

What else is happening at the Royal Albert Hall?

It’s not only Ed Sheeran and Kylie Minogue who will be wowing the crowds in London this winter. Ahead of his annual New Year’s Eve extravaganza, Jools Holland will take to the stage on 24th and 25th November alongside his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.

Similarly, on 8th December, Jamie Cullum will treat crowds to The Pianoman at Christmas alongside a big band and special guests. The fun continues next year, with plenty of headline acts lined up to rock the Royal Albert Hall, including The Stranglers, Gipsy Kings, James Blunt, Bryan Adams, Eric Clapton and George Benson.

Other concerts to look forward to

If you fancy a pre-Christmas trip down memory lane, Madness will be rolling back the years at the O2 in December. And at the same venue you can catch The 1975 next February.

Take That will be there in April before Olivia Rodrigo performs in May and both acts will also be stopping at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham.

Plenty of high-profile names have announced huge tours next year, including Taylor Swift, Liam Gallagher, Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay and Green Day and you can enjoy all of them from the comfort of Engage’s exclusive hospitality areas.

Who could headline Glastonbury 2024?

We’ve reached autumn, which can only mean one thing. No, not Halloween – it’s almost time for the mad rush for Glastonbury tickets. As hopefuls up and down the country prepare to load up five devices and cross their fingers, plans for next summer’s line-up will already be well underway.

The five-day event takes place every June and is one of the most famous music festivals in the world, with more than 200,000 people flocking to Somerset each year. That’s quite a bit more than attended the first edition way back in 1970, where a crowd of 1,500 gathered to see The Kinks and Wayne Fontana.

Last year’s festival saw Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses and Elton John headline, adding to a list of incredible acts to grace the Pyramid Stage in the past, which includes Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Kanye West, David Bowie, Beyonce and Bob Dylan.

And as rumours begin to circulate about who could be on the line-up in 2024, we’ve taken a look at some of the contenders to follow in their footsteps.

Liam Gallagher

While we’re all still holding out hope of a remarkable Oasis reunion, we might get halfway there at least. Next year’s festival coincides with the 30th anniversary of the iconic Manchester band’s debut album Definitely Maybe.

Liam announced this week that he’ll be playing the record in full across a UK and Ireland tour next year – and, coincidentally, he’s left the Glastonbury weekend free. It would be the third time he’s performed solo at the festival, having previously appeared in 2017 and 2019.

It’s no secret that Liam and Noel have had their differences since Oasis split up in 2009 but the imminent anniversary had sparked rumours that a long-awaited reunion could be on the cards. 2024 will also mark 20 years since Oasis last appeared at Glastonbury.

However, even if he were to perform alone, Liam would be a worthy headliner and he proved his popularity with two sell-out gigs at Knebworth last summer.

Dua Lipa

Fans of Dua Lipa were disappointed not to see her light up the Pyramid Stage this year alongside Elton John for their joint track Cold Heart. But they could be in luck next summer, with the British singer expected to have a busy year.

The 28-year-old is currently working on her third studio album, which is due to come out some time in 2024. Dua Lipa is also rumoured to be going on tour, although she’s yet to announce dates so it’s unclear whether they’ll clash with Glastonbury.

She performed at the festival way back in 2017 when she was relatively unknown but if she were to make a return in the future, she’d be in strong contention to headline.

Foo Fighters

The Foos were a surprise bonus at this year’s festival, popping up to do a secret set under the alias ‘The Churn Ups’. The band had previously cancelled their tour and taken a break following the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins.

Dave Grohl and co. now feel the time is right to return to the stage and they’ve announced a number of UK dates next year to promote their new album, with a convenient little gap during the weekend of Glastonbury, which could mean they’re in line to return.

They first performed at Glastonbury in 1998 and they famously had to pull out of their 2015 headline performance after Dave Grohl broke his leg after falling off stage during a show in Sweden.

Spice Girls

Spice Girls also celebrate their 30th anniversary next summer and, unlike Oasis, they’ve already shown they’re happy to roll back the years. The girl band got back together (minus Victoria Beckham) for a reunion tour in 2019 that sold more than 700,000 tickets.

Geri Horner has already denied speculation that they could be set for a Glastonbury appearance. But Ginger Spice did say that the girls have something planned for the anniversary, so fans could still be in for a treat.

And they have unfinished business with the festival, having been set to perform in 2020 before the pandemic put a stop to it.

Coldplay

Another band with huge world dates scheduled is Coldplay, who have been touring their latest album Music of the Spheres since last year. The four-piece have also left time in their schedule at the time of Glastonbury, so we may well see their names when the line-up is announced.

Coldplay are no strangers to the festival, having made the first of their six appearances in 1999. They’ve since headlined four times, taking to the Pyramid stage in 2002, 2005, 2011 and 2016.

Chris Martin and co. were also due to perform in 2021 before the festival was cancelled. Instead, they appeared on the festival livestream event, alongside George Ezra, Kano, Wolf Alice and Damon Albarn.

Who else could appear at Glastonbury?

Blur released their ninth album this summer and treated fans to sell-out shows at Wembley, so they could make a return to the festival they last appeared at in 2009.

Meanwhile, south London rapper Dave has also been rumoured to be in with a chance of headlining, having previously appeared twice.

Remarkably, Queen have never performed at Glastonbury due to political differences between Brian May and Michael Eavis. However, May says that he would consider having a conversation about a sensational festival debut.

Another debutant could be Madonna, who is currently on her world tour and has availability in June. Organiser Emily Eavis was recently at one of Madge’s gigs and has previously said that next year’s festival will feature two female headliners.

One name that won’t be on the Glasto poster is Taylor Swift. The American singer was the clear favourite to headline earlier this year but following the announcement of her The Eras world tour, she’ll be performing in Dublin that weekend instead.
