A constantly updated list of artists confirmed, rumoured and unlikely to play Glastonbury 2023 so far…

As with every Glastonbury-year, speculation about who might play the legendary festival is always very high, and with the 2023 Festival fast approaching the Glasto Rumour Mill has already begun to spin.

Although the first line-up poster doesn’t usually get revealed until the beginning of March, followed by the full line-up announcement sometime at the end of May – there are many artists who ‘self-confirm’ prior to the official announcements by divulging the news via interviews, social media or website listings to accompany the ever-growing rumours.

In the table above, you’ll find a compiled list of all the acts officially confirmed for Glastonbury 2023 thus far, alongside self-confirmed or rumoured artists who are still in the frame to headline or make the line-up at the 2023 edition of the Festival.

Once more acts are added to the list, it will also include those that have been ‘Ruled Out’ or are ‘Unlikely’ to play due to whatever the circumstance may be.

We’ve also linked to the source evidence for each revelation (via the artist name) – sourced mainly from, but not limited to the official Glastonbury website, as well as various forums and social media including eFestivals, Twitter posts, FB comments, interviews, clashing tour dates and exclusives announcements/self-confirmations.

Keep an eye out on this page, as we will be reviewing and updating it on a daily basis throughout the buildup to Glastonbury 2023 over the coming weeks and months.

Finally on this, if you hear anything through the grapevine or spot an act self-confirm for Glastonbury 2023, feel free to drop us a line on any of our socials (Twitter, Facebook or Instagram).

Rumour mill roundup

Along with The Weeknd, Kraftwerk and Jack Johnson, some of the recent names rumoured for next year’s event include The 1975 – who are once again mentioned in the Glastonbury context after speculation started permeating the web when the Cheshire band confirmed new tour dates – leaving them wide open over the 2023 Glastonbury weekend. 

Rihanna‘s name has also recently been tossed about after the Barbados-born singer was reportedly approached by the Festival about being the closing act at the event next year.

Taylor Swift, however, has effectively almost ruled herself out of the run for 2023 – after announcing her long-rumoured return to the road, scheduled to hit U.S. stadiums beginning in March 2023 and running into August.

Pulp also revealed dates of their upcoming reunion tour scheduled for next summer, leaving plenty of room for a Glastonbury performance.

Arctic Monkeys are also strongly rumoured for 2023, after the band reportedly signed on “the dotted line” for a deal to headline the Festival next summer.

Guns N’ Roses entered the rumour mill after Festival organiser Emily Eavis said in an interview last year that the hard rockers need to play the Worthy Farm event at some point.

And finally, Eminem – which is yet another name to have never stepped foot at Worthy Farm – is said to be in “advanced talks” to headline the iconic Pyramid Stage at the Festival next year.

It is worth noting though that Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis did however say earlier this year that all three headliners for the 2023 Festival have already been booked.

Therefore, these rumours are to be taken for what they are, as any insider claiming to know anything about anything, either have access to unreleased information or is outright mistaken.

As of the time of publication, current SkyBet odds for ‘Glastonbury Festival 2023 headliner’ are as follows:

Glastonbury 2023 will take place at its natural home in Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset, from Wednesday the 21st to Sunday the 25th of June.

Now with both ticket sales out of the way, the next option to bag tickets to the Pilton event will be when the resale of any unpaid and/or cancelled tickets takes place in the Spring of 2023 (around April time).

As part of Glastonbury’s ongoing efforts against ticket touting, anyone who would like to attend next year’s Festival will need to have registered in advance.

That said, registration for Glastonbury 2023 closed at 5pm GMT on Monday, 31st October, and as of this moment in time, there is no opportunity to submit/re-submit a registration until after the November ticket sales – when registration will open once again on Monday 21st November.

As in previous years, registration remains free of charge and only takes a few minutes at glastonburyregistration.co.uk.

Those who have already registered in the past can also check their existing registration here. 

In addition to the upcoming ticket resales, some other opportunities for getting to Glastonbury include entering competitions, working at the Festival and volunteering – once those options make themselves available.

Don’t be fooled

Glastonbury Festival would very much like fans to be aware that there are people out there who will try and sell fake Glastonbury tickets to unsuspecting, willing and innocent potential purchasers.

Although Glasto-veterans who have been going to the Festival for quite some time may recognise these scams for what they are, newcomers might not.

Therefore, please remember that tickets are only sold on one site, which is: glastonbury.seetickets.com.
