Glastonbury Festival has warned fans that they must complete registration before 5pm today, as tickets are set to go on sale in less than a week. The festival returns from Wednesday, June 23rd to Sunday, June 27th, 2027, after its fallow year in 2026.
Registration closes at 5pm today, after which fans will not be able to edit or re-submit their details until after the October ticket sales. Fans can register through the Glastonbury website by providing basic contact details and uploading a passport-style photo.
Non-transferable tickets and security checks
Tickets are non-transferable, as each ticket features the photograph of the registered ticket holder, with security checks carried out. Those planning to buy tickets for other people must ensure that all individuals are registered ahead of the sale, and their registration numbers and corresponding postcodes are needed to purchase tickets on their behalf.
Glastonbury has advised fans to complete registration well in advance of attempting to buy tickets, as registration is temporarily suspended before and during the main ticket sale. Time is also needed for photos to be reviewed and for re-submission if necessary.
How to register and what to expect
Registration is completed online via www.glastonburyregistration.co.uk, where fans must add their email address to receive a unique code to start the process. It is recommended that each person registers with their own email address. A suitable photograph in JPEG format, portrait orientation, and passport standard is also required.
The festival, held at Worthy Farm near Pilton in Somerset, will return with "exciting" headliners, according to co-organiser Emily Eavis. In July, she confirmed that the headline acts had already been secured a year in advance, saying: "But we have got three headliners and we’re very excited about it – it’s all coming together really well."
Headliner speculation and festival history
Emily Eavis also dismissed rumours that Madonna or Taylor Swift would headline, stating: "No, it’s definitely not Madonna, I’ll tell you that." She added: "Pretty much 95 per cent of the stories [about Glastonbury] you read are not true, and rumours are pretty much always wrong."
The 2027 festival will be the fortieth event in its history, though the first Glastonbury took place in 1970. The discrepancy is due to intermittent events during the 1970s and early 1980s, as well as fallow years every few years to allow the ground to recover from hosting 210,000 people. The Covid-19 pandemic also forced cancellations in 2020 and 2021.
