Fans of Glastonbury Festival are already buzzing with predictions about who will headline the iconic event’s main stage in 2027. While Worthy Farm will observe a fallow year in 2026, enthusiasts believe the next festival will feature some extraordinary performances.
A viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter) showcased a performer effortlessly commanding a crowd of thousands on tour. Soon, fans began to speculate that this artist is all but confirmed to headline Glastonbury in 2027.
This year’s headliners include The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo, with other notable acts such as Charli XCX, The Prodigy, and a secret set by an enigmatic artist named “Patchwork.”

Among the leading predictions for the 2027 headliner is Sam Fender, whose recent third album, People Watching, released earlier this year, has earned critical acclaim. A fan confidently stated on X: “Sam Fender is a 2027 Glastonbury headliner. Log it now.” Others echoed this sentiment, noting that 2027 would be the perfect time since the festival takes a break next year.
Many expressed surprise that Fender didn’t feature as a headliner this year, especially given his upcoming performance at Rock Werchter in Belgium. Comments praised his live presence, with one fan writing, “He’s so good live! Surprised he didn’t get the slot this year.”
Fender’s strong touring schedule and growing buzz have led multiple fans to view him as a genuine superstar destined for the Pyramid Stage. One tweeted, “Thanks for sharing - an incredible set from a genuine superstar. Next stop, Pyramid headliner surely.”
Meanwhile, curiosity surrounds the mysterious “Patchwork” act on this year’s main stage lineup. Though the identity remains unconfirmed, a trusted insider, @SecretGlasto, has hinted that it might be the legendary band Pulp. Pulp recently reunited in 2023 and released their first album in 24 years, More. However, frontman Jarvis Cocker remarked that playing Glastonbury would be a “life-or-death situation” for the band, casting some doubt on the speculation.
Additionally, another yet-to-be-announced set has fueled speculation about possible surprise appearances by artists such as Lewis Capaldi, Lorde, or Harry Styles. As festival-goers eagerly await the event later this month, excitement is building around these headline possibilities and the festival’s unique atmosphere.
