Dua Lipa will be the first headliner of the weekend - performing on the Pyramid Stage on Friday June 28, 2024.

Speaking to the BBC, she said the show occupied "50% of my thoughts".

She added: "I’ve got to figure out a way to make 150,000 people feel like they’re in a small little nightclub.

"That’s the goal, and if there’s one place to do it, it’s got to be Glasto."

When Dua Lipa last played at the festival it was on the John Peel stage which was her biggest audience at the time.

Just a month later she released her smash hit New Rules and she became the pop sensation that she is today.

Coldplay will be taking to the Pyramid Stage on the Saturday.

It will mark the band’s first appearance since 2016 and will make them the first act to headline Glastonbury five times.

They headlined in 2002, 2005, 2011 and 2016.

The band also played the New Tent in 1999 and The Other Stage in 2000.

This comes as frontman Chris Martin previously revealed Coldplay would stop making music in 2025.

He said in 2021: "Well I know I can tell you: our last proper record will come out in 2025 and after that I think we will only tour.

Shania Twain will be taking on the legends slot on Sunday night.

The Canadian singer is best known for hits including Man I Feel Like A Woman, You're Still The One and That Don't Impress Me Much.

It's already been rumoured that she might change the lyrics of one of her smash hits for the occasion.

She's said she wants to change the lyrics to That Don't Impress Me Much in a nod to Harry Styles.

I sort of see Brad Pitt as a James Dean of his generation and I see Harry Styles as that as well, of his generation.

The words "so you think you're Brad Pitt" could instead include the As It Was singer.

Appearing on BBC's 'Sidetracked' podcast, she said: "I sort of see Brad Pitt as a James Dean of his generation and I see Harry Styles as that as well, of his generation.

"He's rugged but pretty. There's a charm that he has and he sings good, too.

"'Hey so you think you're Harry Styles?' Who do you you think you are? I should do that."
