British pop star Dua Lipa is preparing to be the first headliner of Glastonbury 2024, as she takes to the Pyramid Stage this evening (Friday 28 June).

Fears of a Worthy Farm washout after a cold and wet start to June have been alleviated by the latest Met Office report forecasting mostly dry spells and temperatures hovering around 18C-21C.

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”. Here is the full Glastonbury 2024 lineup and set times.

Before Dua Lipa takes to the stage, fans will get to enjoy performances from K-pop stars Seventeen, Irish rock band Fontaines DC, pop group the Sugababes, and PJ Harvey.

Earlier this week, Glastonbury organisers confirmed they will not be showing England’s Euro 2024 round-of-16 game during the festival.

If you’re following from home, the BBC has shared its schedule of coverage for the weekend.

Olivia Dean reflects on magical Glastonbury set on Pyramid Stage

“I’ve wanted to play that stage for my whole life, it’s been the dream... so when that moment is realised, it’s almost supernatural,” Olivia Dean tells the BBC from Glastonbury.

Dean said it was amazing to see “so many women” on the Glastonbury lineup this year: “It helps you imagine it, when you see people like you.”

“I loved seeing Adele,” she said. “I remember seeing Stormzy and feeling like, I’m watching history.”

Olivia Dean wows huge crowds at the Pyramid Stage

On the Pyramid Stage, Olivia Dean delivers a performance brimming with charisma and confidence. Her debut album, Messy, shortlisted for a Mercury, is all about self-discovery in the wake of a break up.

Hers is a big sound, powered by soulful, sonorous voice that can skip merrily through the octaves. Live, it’s a joy to witness, with cymbals, drums, saxophones, trumpets and super-slick choreography all adding ballast to a supremely polished performance, which also sees her well up as she pays tribute to her grandmother, who was part of the Windrush generation and moved to the UK when she was 18.

Speaking to The Independent last year, Dean said she will headline the Pyramid Stage one day. This set will have done those ambitions no harm at all.

COMMENT: SZA is the festival headliner who will save our summers

The Grammy and Brit winner has earned widespread acclaim for her two studio albums ‘CTRL’ and ‘SOS’ – yet, based on the confusion sparked when she was announced as a Glastonbury headliner this year, many still don’t know her name. Here’s why you should absolutely dive into her work, writes Kate Solomon

When is Dua Lipa performing on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury and how to watch

This is the first time that Glastonbury Festival will have two female headliners, as Dua Lipa will be joined by SZA.

“I feel so lucky to be a part of that shift,” she told the BBC. “it’s important to have more female headliners. We’ve just got to keep applying the pressure and making that change happen.”

She said trying to invite the audience onstage for an encore of “Blow Your Mind (Mwah)”, like she did during her last Glastonbury performance, might be tricky this time around: “It might be tight. But I’ve got to figure out a way to make 150,000 people feel like they’re in a small little nightclub.

“That’s the goal, and if there’s one place to do it, it’s gotta be Glasto.”

Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis defends 2024 line-up

Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has defended the festival’s line-up amid criticism of there being a lack of rock bands as pop star Dua Lipa prepares to headline Friday’s music.

This year’s event sees headline performances from Dua Lipa, Coldplay and American R&B singer SZA, while country star Shania Twain will play the coveted Legends slot.

“I think the line-up reflects what’s happening in the music world at the moment – there aren’t a lot of new rock acts to choose from if I’m honest,” Eavis said.

“Hopefully that will emerge again, my heyday was 1995 with Pulp and Oasis and Radiohead… and that was great but music changes all the time and right now this is where we’re at.”

Shania Twain, Dua Lipa and SZA at Glastonbury 2024 one-ups the stale male rock of last year

I know there’s been a load of grumbling about the Glastonbury lineup this year, and a lot of it is warranted (in my view), but I also think it’s still a big improvement on Guns’N’Roses or, dare I say, Arctic Monkeys (I love them but last year’s set was not the one).

Here’s something I made earlier on that very subject
