Glastonbury festival organiser dismisses rumours that Madonna will headline in 2027
Emily Eavis says the festival has booked its headliners, but the Queen of Pop is "definitely not" among them.
Glastonbury festival organiser Emily Eavis has dismissed rumours that Madonna will headline the 2027 festival. Responding to speculation, Eavis told BBC Radio 4's PM programme that it was definitely not Madonna, and reiterated that three other headliners had been booked, all of which are being kept under wraps. When questioned about Taylor Swift, Eavis playfully declined to comment further on the line-up.
In June, Madonna hinted to BBC talk show host Graham Norton about a significant performance in the UK next summer, but the organiser stated that most stories about Glastonbury are false, and rumours are usually wrong. Eavis also expressed her excitement about the festival's return in June 2027 and highlighted the importance of arts and music funding, hoping that new Prime Minister Andy Burnham would support music education in schools and smaller music venues.
