With stars including Little Simz, Avril Lavigne, Jessie Ware, Janelle Monae, Cyndi Lauper, PJ Harvey and Camila Cabello on the bill alongside Dua Lipa, Sza and Twain, it is a line-up filled with female acts.
For Lipa, it will be her Pyramid Stage debut – and comes fresh off the back of Brits and Grammys performances earlier this year.
“FRIDAY NIGHT PYRAMID STAGE HEADLINE!!!!,” the star posted on Instagram. “I have dreamt of this moment all my life. Something that lived only in my wildest dreams and highest manifestations !!! I am so excited to see you all in my favourite place on earth and make it a night to remember!!”

‘Another jewel in my crown’
It will also be a debut for SZA, who is “quite possibly the hottest hip-hop/ R&B act on the planet”, organisers said, while for Coldplay the 2024 slot means they become the first act to lead the bill five times, having headlined previously in 2002, 2005, 2011 and 2016.
Five-time Grammy-winning Canadian star Twain, who has sold more than 100 million records and is best known for hits including Man I Feel Like A Woman, You’re Still The One, and That Don’t Impress Me Much, shared a video post on Instagram saying she was getting her wellies, raincoat and cowboy hat ready.
“Another jewel in my crown!” she wrote. “I feel so honoured and so excited about this one! Thinking about what to wear already… Let’s make history this summer with this ultimate dream performance.”
