Look no further. Here’s everything you need to know about getting your hands on those coveted tickets for the big event at Worthy Farm next year.

What’s more, 2020 will be the 50th anniversary of the festival, so expect surprises, a super line-up and some serious celebrations.

When will Glastonbury 2020 be held?

The dates for next year’s festival are yet to be released, so keep an eye out for official announcements over the coming months.

Glastonbury tends to be held at a similar time each year in the month of June, so we’re predicting it will likely run towards the end of the month.

However, the first ever festival was actually held on 19 September 1970.

How do I register for a ticket for Glastonbury 2020?

To be in with a chance of scoring tickets, make sure you register first on the official Glastonbury site.

To do so, you’ll need a passport-style photo of yourself to ready to upload, and to be prepared to give some details about yourself.

There is no way of getting access to the festival unless you register, so make sure you leave yourself plenty of time to do this before the tickets go on sale.

The Glastonbury site is the only place you can buy these, and no other sites will sell you valid tickets.

When will Glastonbury 2020 tickets be on sale?

Again, this information is yet to be released. However, tickets for the 2019 festival went on sale in October. There was a resale of tickets in April 2019.

Watch out for announcements when the 2019 festival is over, as organisers are likely to confirm this information then.

Who will be playing at Glastonbury 2020?

Festival promoters do a stand-up job of keeping the line-up top secret every year, and we’re unlikely to be given much of a clue as to who might be taking to the Pyramid stage (et al) in 2020 before tickets go on sale,

As usual, however, there is already speculation abound.

Legendary folk-rockers Fleetwood Mac hinted that they would be taking to the Glastonbury stage in 2020 at their gig at Wembley in June.

During their performance, Mick Fleetwood made references to the band having “a big field to play”. He also mentioned “a rained-out festival in England next year”,  fans at the show tweeted.

Meanwhile, Glastonbury boss Michael Eavis teased that Paul McCartney could return to headline the 50th anniversary of the festival.

“Paul’s on good form at the moment,” Eavis told BBC Somerset. “[He’s coming here] hopefully for the 50th. Don’t make a big thing of it though, will you?”

Music lovers are also looking back to the first ever Glastonbury line-up in 1970 for ideas. That event, then called the Pilton Pop, Blues & Folk Festival, was headlined by glam rock band T.Rex. It was attended by 1,500 people – and the tickets cost just £1 each.

Eavis inherited Worthy Farm and 60 cows from his father following his death in 1954. Unbeknownst to many, it is still a working dairy farm, though the festival ground is 20 minutes away.
