British pop star Dua Lipa was the first headliner of Glastonbury 2024, as she took to the Pyramid Stage on Friday night (28 June) at Worthy Farm. Charli XCX followed with a rammed set on the tiny Levels stage.
Across the weekend, an eclectic lineup will perform on the sprawling festival’s various stages – but organiser Emily Eavis has poured water on any rumours of “big surprises”.
Coldplay will headline the Pyramid Stage tonight for a record-breaking fifth time, while other major sets come from The Last Dinner Party, Cyndi Lauper and Little Simz.
Here is the full Glastonbury 2024 lineup and set times.
Ahead of Dua Lipa’s performance, which was plagued with a broadcasting issue on the BBC, Sugababes’ set on the West Holts stage drew such huge crowds there were reports of fans fainting during their show, while security blocked others from entering in an attempt to reduce overcrowding.
If you’re following from home, the BBC has shared its schedule of coverage for the weekend.

Kasabian have confirmed they will be performing at Glastonbury 2024 in the festival’s surprise set slot.
The rock band, comprised of Sergio Pizzorno, Tim Carter, Chris Edwards and Ian Matthews, have not performed at Worthy Farm since the departure of their frontman Tom Meighan in 2020.
Known for hits including “Fire” and “Clubfoot”, Kasabian will play on the Woodsies stage at 6pm on Saturday (29 June) – a slot that was previously left mysteriously “to be announced”.
