Glastonbury 2027 lineup odds

Glastocast

Who's playing Worthy Farm, 23 to 27 June 2027? We went through 25 years of Glasto lineups, every big summer festival we could scrape, setlist.fm gig diaries and the bookies' prices, and turned it all into odds. Last updated .

The board

The chance each act gets a big slot, meaning anywhere on the Pyramid or the top five on the Other Stage. The pale part of each bar is the range we'd believe. Tap a name to see what's pushing their number up or down, and their gig diary around Glasto weekend.

Us vs the bookies

Every act the bookies have priced. Along the bottom is their chance of headlining, with the bookies' margin taken off. Up the side is our chance of any big slot. Headlining counts as a big slot, so most dots should sit above the dashed line. Anyone below it is someone the 2027 news has gone against.

What actually predicts a Glasto booking

We checked 2000 to 2025: artist-years across 40 festivals, against everyone who played the Pyramid or the top five on the Other Stage.

Festivals that point to Glasto

How much better your Glasto odds are if you play this festival the same summer, compared with an act who's just as famous but didn't. 1× means it tells you nothing. † means the festival has stopped running.

Is it any good?

We tested it the strict way: each year from 2007 is predicted using only the years before it, so it never gets to peek at the future. The festival effect also holds up in both halves of the data: three or more festivals is worth about × from 2000 to 2011 and × from 2013 to 2025, after allowing for fame.

Does 20% mean 20%?

Each dot is a bunch of artist-years. Along the bottom is what the model said, up the side is how often they really played. Dots on the dashed line are spot on. These are predictions for , each made using only earlier years. Up to about 25% it's accurate. Above that it runs hot: since 2015, acts it gave 35% or more played about 43% of the time against a predicted 53%. Recalibrating made it worse on unseen years, so the top numbers are left as they are. Read them as a bit generous.

How many of each model's top 40 really got a big slot, each year predicted from earlier years only. Recent years are harder, partly because two of the best signals, T in the Park and Oxegen, don't exist any more.

How the odds work

Under the hood it's a Bayesian model fitted to every Glasto lineup since 2000. Each act's chance depends on how much they've played the big festivals lately, their Glasto history, which festivals they're booked for that summer, and a personal "Glasto-ness" that some acts just have. Festivals are grouped by region, so ones we know little about (Open'er, Mad Cool) borrow from their neighbours instead of being guessed.

Most 2027 lineups aren't out yet, so for every festival that hasn't announced an act, the model works through the ways it could go (who's likely to be added, given how big they are) and averages over them. As announcements land, those guesses get replaced by facts. Tour dates around Glasto weekend, the bookies' headline prices and anything Emily Eavis says go on top. Ruled out by Eavis? Near enough zero.

It isn't that clever. Predicting each year from earlier years only, its top 40 got about right a year, against for the simpler model it replaced. About 30% of Glasto's big acts didn't play any of the 40 festivals we track, so it never had a chance with them. Open'er and Mad Cool barely appear on Wikipedia, so we can't measure them; we count them like Werchter and Roskilde, since it's the same early-July run with mostly the same headliners. It's a bit of fun, not a betting system.
