Thousands of music lovers will be preparing for Glastonbury as coach tickets went on sale tonight.

The world-famous Somerset festival is back next June and always features three big Pyramid Stage headliners for each of the three main days of the event. The 2023 festival saw Arctic Monkeys top the bill on the Pyramid Stage on Friday, US rockers Guns N’ Roses on Saturday and Sir Elton John on Sunday night.

For the 2024 event, tickets for coach travel options went on sale earlier this evening, November 16, while general admission tickets are set to go on sale on November 19.

Announcements for the major Pyramid Stage acts are always highly anticipated, with their Worthy Farm performances broadcast to millions live on the BBC. Currently, Rumours for Glastonbury Festival 2024 include AC/DC, Madonna, Coldplay, Foo Fighters and more.

But when will the first headliner be revealed for next year? Last year, Somerset Live looked back at every Glastonbury Festival headliner announcement since 2010 to find out, and sadly, there doesn't seem to be much of a pattern.

However, since 2016, at least one headliner has usually been announced in either October of November in the year before the event. The earliest-ever Glastonbury headliner reveal was made ahead of this year's festival. Billie Eilish was announced on October 4 2021.

The latest that a first headliner announcement was revealed was March 27, 2013, when Arctic Monkeys, The Rolling Stones and Mumford & Sons were all announced together just three months before Glastonbury Festival 2010.

Since 2010, the latest ever headliner announcement was the third and final headliner for 2014 - Metallica - who were revealed on May 8 2014.
