Glastonbury fans have just one day left to register for the 2027 festival before the deadline closes tomorrow.
After taking a fallow year in 2026, organisers have confirmed that tickets for the iconic festival at Worthy Farm will go on sale next month, with registration closing at 5pm on Friday, September 25.
Anyone aged 13 or over who wants to try to buy a ticket must be individually registered ahead of the sale. The festival has warned that once registration closes, there will be no opportunity to submit, edit or resubmit a registration until after the October ticket sales.

How do I register for tickets?
Registration is free and takes just a few minutes. You’ll need to provide basic contact details and upload a passport-style photo before registration closes at 5pm on Friday, September 25.
Once it closes, you cannot submit or edit your registration until after tickets go on sale.
How can I check my exisiting registration?
If you registered before 2020, check your registration is still valid or submit a new one.
You can update registrations that aren’t linked to a ticket booking, but you’ll need to re-register if you no longer have access to your original email address.
Registration does not guarantee a ticket or affect your chances of getting one.
How much are tickets for next year’s edition?
A full weekend pass running from Wednesday to Sunday will cost £408 – including a £5 booking fee.
It is a £29.50 increase on 2025’s £378.50 general admission ticket.

How much have tickets cost previously?
Tickets for the first edition of the festival held by Michael Eavis back in 1970 cost just £1 (equivalent to £13.80 today).
They surpassed the £100 barrier back in 2003, in an edition that was headlined by R.E.M, Radiohead and Moby.
In 2022, a weekend ticket cost £280 plus a £5 booking fee, however, just five years later, this has surged to over £130 difference.
Many fans were left unimpressed with the increase: “This does make me consider the price for the first time, that’s a lot even for Glasto,” said one, whilst another added: “All that money to see a dot on a stage.”

However, others were resolute they would attend despite the hike “It’s worth every penny for what you get.”
“It’s only a shock because it wasn’t on this year, if it had been £15 a year no one would have blinked,” another wrote.
What have festival organisers said about the increase?
While Emily Eavis is yet to comment on the latest announcement, she has previously discussed the “challenging” time that festival planners are facing.
Speaking in 2023, she said: “We have tried very hard to minimise the increase in price on the ticket but we’re facing enormous rises in the costs of running this vast show, whilst still recovering from the huge financial impact of two years without a festival because of Covid.”

Who could be headlining next year?
Rumoured headliners for next year’s Glastonbury include Stevie Wonder, Fontaines DC, Taylor Swift, and Harry Styles – although no headliner has yet been confirmed.

Madonna was another hotly tipped performer, however Emily Eavis has shut down any speculation that the pop icon could be headlining at Worthy Farm next year.
“No, it’s definitely not Madonna, I’ll tell you that,” she told BBC Radio 4’s PM programme.
“But we have got three [other] headliners and we’re very excited about it – it’s all coming together really well,” she added.
As of Thursday, September 24, no official acts have been announced for Glastonbury 2027 yet.
