The Glastonbury 2024 full lineup has been unveiled, featuring exciting additions like Nigerian pop sensation Tems and Afrobeat legend Femi Kuti.

Newly announced acts also include indie icons James, Seasick Steve, Jamie Webster, the Staves, the Skatalites, Jalen Ngonda, the Vaccines, Johnny Flynn, Soft Play, Rachel Chinouriri, and the Zutons.

Squeeze will kick off the festival on Friday at noon on the Pyramid stage, while the Birmingham Royal Ballet will commence Sunday’s performances with “Interlinked”.

All set times and locations are listed on the Glastonbury website.

While there isn’t a big-name secret act like last year’s ChurnUps (Foo Fighters), a notable “to be announced” slot is scheduled for 6pm on Saturday at the Woodsies stage.

The smaller stages have also announced their lineups, including performances by Hollywood actors Russell Crowe and Idris Elba.

The Acoustic stage will feature Tanita Tikaram, Ocean Colour Scene, Judy Collins, and the Gypsy Kings, while the Avalon stage will host Kate Nash, Lulu, New Model Army, and Toyah Willcox with Robert Fripp.

The politically focused Left Field stage, curated by Billy Bragg, will showcase music from Bob Vylan and English Teacher, alongside panel discussions on trans liberation, the Post Office scandal, and the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Dance music enthusiasts can look forward to Charli XCX and Shygirl at the Levels area, which will also feature Skream & Benga, Casisdead, Wilkinson, and Shy FX.

The Arcadia area will introduce a new concept, Dragonfly, replacing its fire-breathing spider.

This installation, created from a Royal Navy helicopter, will explore themes of renewal and technology.

DJs in this space include Eric Prydz, Andy C, Fatboy Slim, Amelie Lens, and Shygirl’s Club Shy. Rising dance duo Joy Anonymous will perform back-to-back with Salute, and other notable DJ pairings include Jarvis Cocker and Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor.

The Glade area will see performances from Goldie, Faithless, Camelphat, and Fatboy Slim. The Iicon area will feature late-night acts such as Bicep and Roni Size.

Rinse FM will celebrate its 30th anniversary on Friday at Temple with DJ EZ and Katy B, while Defected will mark its 25th anniversary at Nowhere on the same night.

Glastonbury will also include heavy metal acts like Skindred and Indonesian trio Voice of Baceprot. Two new areas, the Wishing Well and Scissors, will replace the Rabbit Hole area at the Park stage. Hyped indie band Fat Dog and dance-pop duo Confidence Man will perform multiple sets across the weekend.

This year’s headliners are Burna Boy, Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA, with major supporting acts including PJ Harvey, LCD Soundsystem, and Shania Twain in the Sunday teatime “legend” performance.
