Tickets for next year's Glastonbury Festival in the UK sold out in 45 minutes on Sunday, organisers said.
"Tickets for Glastonbury 2027 have now sold out," organisers posted on social media less than an hour after the general sale began.
Standard tickets cost £408 ($539) for the June 2027 festival, which follows a "fallow year" with no event in 2026. Prices have risen steadily over the past decade.
The 2027 performers have not been announced yet. Organizers confirmed that the recently reunited Britpop band Oasis will not play at Worthy Farm after months of speculation.
In recent years, the line-up has included global pop stars alongside festival veterans, among them Charli XCX, Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo.
Held at Worthy Farm in southwest England, Glastonbury, popularly known as Glasto, first launched in 1970, inspired by British hippie and counterculture movements. It has become a fixture of the international music calendar.
About 210,000 people attended the 2025 festival, which featured Neil Young, Rod Stewart, Raye, The Prodigy, Alanis Morissette and Snow Patrol. Singer Lewis Capaldi returned to the Pyramid Stage, two years after he stopped a performance there while struggling with Tourette symptoms.
The 2025 festival also drew controversy after two acts expressed support for Palestinians in Gaza. Police assessed comments made on stage by Irish rappers Kneecap and London-based duo Bob Vylan but took no action against either act. Bobby Vylan, the duo's frontman, led the crowd in chants against the Israeli army, prompting criticism of the BBC from some quarters over its live broadcast.
The United Nations says there are "reasonable grounds" to conclude that Israeli authorities and security forces "have continued to commit the crime of genocide" in Gaza.
