Artists ruled out of Glastonbury 2027

Review explicit editorial exclusions and the evidence behind them.

12 artists explicitly ruled out. A 0% forecast alone does not place an artist in this list.

Ruled out

Def Leppard

Live Nation’s official 8 October 2026 tour announcement places Def Leppard on the Def Leppard, Goo Goo Dolls and The Struts 45-date 2027 North American tour. The announced run includes New York on Wednesday 23 June, Uncasville, Connecticut (Mohegan Sun Arena) on Glastonbury Friday 25 June, and Philadelphia (Xfinity Mobile Arena) on Sunday 27 June. Ticketmaster independently lists all three acts on the 27 June bill and The Struts in the weekend touring schedule. Glastonbury Saturday 26 June is technically not booked, but appearing in Somerset between Friday and Sunday evening US concerts would demand an extraordinarily impractical transatlantic diversion. Effectively ruled out for Glastonbury 2027 on current routing, subject to the announced North American commitments changing.

Karol G

Official Ticketmaster Spain information lists Karol G at Madrid's Riyadh Air Metropolitano on 24, 25, 26 and 27 June 2027. Those dates overlap the core Glastonbury weekend almost completely, creating a direct and unusually strong scheduling conflict unless the announced itinerary changes.

Madness

Madness are confirmed at Cartmel Racecourse on Friday 25 June, Cannock Chase Forest on Saturday 26 June and Westonbirt Arboretum on Sunday 27 June 2027. With separate shows covering every main Glastonbury music day, a festival appearance is effectively ruled out.

Motionless in White

Motionless In White frontman Chris Motionless described the band's Bloodstock appearance as their "only UK show of 2027". Although the band is active across continental Europe in summer 2027, the explicit UK exclusivity statement rules out a Glastonbury appearance unless those plans subsequently change.

Paul Young

Paul Young's official 2027 itinerary places him in Newry on Friday 25 June, Derry on Saturday 26 June and Carrick-on-Shannon on Sunday 27 June, directly conflicting with all three of Glastonbury's main music days.

Radiohead

Radiohead have officially announced 21 shows in Australia and Japan for May and June 2027, ending with five Saitama dates through 13 June. More significantly, the band's official tour FAQ states that no extra dates will be announced and that these are the only shows Radiohead will play in 2027. This materially strengthens Ed O'Brien's earlier description of a region-focused touring strategy and is direct official evidence against a Glastonbury 2027 appearance. Plans could theoretically change, and O'Brien's earlier positive comments about returning to Glastonbury remain separate evidence, but on the band's current stated schedule a Worthy Farm appearance is strongly disfavoured.

Slipknot

Slipknot's 3 July 2027 Wembley Stadium date is presented as the EU/UK exclusive on the band's worldwide 2027 stadium tour; Wembley Stadium separately describes it as their only UK and European performance of the tour. This explicit exclusivity rules out a Glastonbury 2027 appearance unless the announced plans later change.

Swedish House Mafia

Swedish House Mafia's official 2027 Ullevi announcement states that the Gothenburg shows will be their only European live dates and explicitly says there will be no European festival appearances from the trio in 2027. That directly rules out a Swedish House Mafia appearance at Glastonbury 2027, barring a later change of plans.

Take That

Take That's 2027 European tour places them at Tinderbox Festival in Denmark on Friday 25 June, Bremen in Germany on Saturday 26 June and a Netherlands date on Sunday 27 June. Their announced routing therefore occupies all three of Glastonbury's main music days, creating a major availability conflict for Worthy Farm.
