Earlier this week, it was reported that this year’s edition has seen the “highest percentage of ticket balances paid ever”, meaning there will be “very limited” tickets available in the re-sale.

As for other Glastonbury news, on Wednesday (April 10), rumours emerged that Lulu could be attending the event in what would be her last ever live performance. The singer is currently wrapping up her ‘Champagne For Lulu’ tour, which will be her last and, originally, the farewell shows were set to draw to a close with a final show at The London Palladium later this month (April 17).
Elsewhere, the eight finalists for the festival’s Emerging Talent Competition have been announced, with one of which soon to be given the opportunity to play at the 2024 event.
