No Glastonbury this summer. Will next year's tickets sell out within an hour?
Glastonbury is not happening in 2026, its first year off since 2018. Registration for 2027 opened on 1 July. Booking details come in the autumn.
What happened
Registration for Glastonbury 2027 is open and free, and organisers say booking information for the 2027 Festival will be released in autumn 2026. Ticket pricing has not been announced.
Glastonbury returns on 23 to . There is no festival at Worthy Farm this June, the first year off since 2018. Emily Eavis, one of the organisers, said the break is to rest the land and let the dairy cows back onto the fields. The Eavis family announced the 2027 dates last autumn.
To register for 2027, each person needs a passport-style photo. The sale itself usually comes in early to mid November, and its exact date has not been announced.
More than 210,000 people go to each festival, and a two-year gap adds to demand. A ticket for 2025 cost £378.50 with its booking fee. Time Out expects the 2027 price to pass £390, which would be a first for the festival.

The Pattern
Eight sales in a row have sold out in under an hour. We looked at Glastonbury’s general ticket sales since , when tickets for 2013 went on sale during the 2012 year off. That sale took longer, an hour and 40 minutes. The record also shows that prices rise most in the sales that follow a break.

The Read
History points to a sell-out within the hour, but only just. Eight sales in a row have gone in under 60 minutes, and the last one took 35, so the tickets will sell. The doubt is the booking system. A year off adds a second group of people who register, and the more people the system lets in at once, the longer it takes to sell every ticket.
The weak point is the one sale on this page that came during a year off. In the sale took an hour and 40 minutes, the slowest in the modern record, with fewer people registered than 2027 will have. Two years of waiting make it certain the tickets sell, and they make the time the uncertain part. If coach tickets and general tickets are sold separately, a clean sell-out would also mean something different.
The autumn sale itself will answer the first market.
