Glastonbury has confirmed when tickets for its 2027 return will go on sale, with festival passes reaching £408 for the first time.
Glastonbury is already looking ahead to its 2027 edition, confirming the ticket sale dates for its highly anticipated return following the festival’s traditional fallow year.
The iconic UK festival will take place from Wednesday, June 23 through Sunday, June 27, 2027, with standard tickets priced at £408, including the £5 booking fee. The new price represents an increase from the £378.50 paid for the 2025 edition.
It also marks the first time a Glastonbury festival ticket has crossed the £400 threshold.
Glastonbury 2027 Ticket Sale Dates Confirmed
Fans hoping to secure a place at Worthy Farm will have two key dates to remember.
Tickets bundled with coach travel will go on sale at 6PM BST on Thursday, October 1, while standard festival tickets will follow on Sunday, October 4.
The festival’s official ticketing information provides further details about the registration and purchasing process.
At £408, the cost reflects the increasing price of major UK festivals. According to BBC reporting cited in the original coverage, Glastonbury tickets have risen by roughly £85 since 2013, representing an increase of around 30%.
What Does a Glastonbury Ticket Include?
Despite the rising price, a Glastonbury pass covers considerably more than entry to a traditional music festival.
According to Glastonbury, the ticket provides access to approximately 4,000 performances across more than 100 stages, alongside five nights of camping and a range of other festival services.
The festival also highlights the charitable dimension of its operation, with ticket revenue contributing to organisations including Oxfam, Greenpeace and WaterAid.
That combination of scale, music and social impact has helped Glastonbury remain one of the defining events in the global festival calendar.
Electronic Music Remains Central to Glastonbury
Although Glastonbury spans virtually every major musical genre, electronic music has become an increasingly important part of its identity.
The festival’s 2025 edition featured performances from an impressive selection of electronic and dance artists, including The Prodigy, Overmono, Floating Points, Four Tet, Caribou and Maribou State.
The broader lineup also included artists such as Charli XCX and Gary Numan, demonstrating the festival’s ability to move between contemporary pop, alternative music, electronic experimentation and legendary acts without losing its distinctive identity.
Glastonbury subsequently placed No. 9 in the 2026 edition of the festival community’s Top 100 Festivals poll.
Orbital’s Historic Glastonbury Set Returns
Glastonbury’s electronic legacy is also receiving renewed attention away from the 2027 festival itself.
Orbital’s landmark 1994 closing performance on the NME Stage is set to receive its first official vinyl and digital release through London Records.
The performance remains one of the defining moments in Glastonbury’s electronic history. At the time, a young Emily Eavis reportedly described the set as “the start of something new” — a fitting description for a performance that helped demonstrate how electronic music could occupy a central place within the festival’s culture.
More than three decades later, its influence is still being felt.
The Countdown to 2027 Begins
With ticket dates now confirmed, the race for Glastonbury 2027 places is officially underway.
The festival’s return comes after its scheduled fallow year, meaning demand is likely to be particularly strong as audiences prepare to return to Worthy Farm.
The lineup has yet to be revealed, but Glastonbury’s track record suggests that electronic music will once again play a significant role across its many stages.
For fans planning ahead, October 1 and October 4 are the dates to watch.
And with tickets now officially above £400, the cost of experiencing one of the world’s most famous festivals has entered a new era.
