General sale tickets for Glastonbury Festival 2027 went on sale on Sunday at 9.00am and sold out in under 45 minutes, according to The Journal and RTE. Thousands of fans queued online for the tickets, which are priced at £408, representing a £29.50 increase that marks the highest price in the event's history, The Journal reported. [1][2]

The event will take place from 23 to 27 June 2027 at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, England, after taking a fallow break in 2026, according to RTE. The BBC reported that tickets sold out after 40 minutes, while the Somerset County Gazette and Music-News.com stated the tickets sold out in 42 minutes. [1][2][3][4][6]

The Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts is a five-day event held near Pilton in most summers. The festival was founded by dairy farmer Michael Eavis, who organised the first event at his Worthy Farm property in September 1970. [9][10]

The music line-up for the 2027 festival has not been announced, but co-organiser Emily Eavis has ruled out rumours of an Oasis appearance, The Journal reported. A resale of any returned or cancelled tickets is scheduled for spring 2027, according to RTE. [1][2]
