UK's Glastonbury festival tickets sell out in 45 minutes

Tickets for the upcoming Glastonbury music festival in the UK have been snapped up in a mere 45 minutes, according to organisers. The highly anticipated event, set to take place at Worthy Farm in southwest England, sold out on Sunday following the general sale's commencement. A statement was posted on social media by the organisers, confirming the sell-out status. The festival, a cornerstone of the global musical calendar, is scheduled to run from June 23 to 27, 2027.

Known for its roots in British hippie and counterculture movements, Glastonbury has been a staple of the international music scene since its inception in 1970. The ticket prices for next year's festival have seen a steady increase over the past decade, with standard tickets priced at £408 ($539) for the June 2027 edition. This price hike follows the festival's fallow year in 2026.

While the lineup for the 2027 edition remains to be announced, Oasis, the recently reunited Britpop band, will not be performing at Worthy Farm after months of speculation. Over the years, Glastonbury has hosted a diverse range of performers, from legendary British rockers to global pop stars such as Charli XCX, Dua Lipa, and Olivia Rodrigo. The 2025 festival, for instance, featured the likes of Lewis Capaldi, Neil Young, Rod Stewart, Raye, The Prodigy, Alanis Morissette, and Snow Patrol.
