1. Coldplay - Pyramid Stage, 9:45pm
Glastonbury veterans Coldplay will be returning to the Pyramid Stage to perform their fifth headline slot this summer, and it's surely going to be the biggest one yet.
It's no mean feat taking the top slot on one of the world's biggest festival stages, but with Coldplay we know we're in safe hands, and we can definitely expect something special. Their latest tour has spellbound audiences across the world with their amazing light show and mesmerising visuals - not to mention the band's brilliant performance.
Plus there have been hints that they will release their final ever album soon, making this set feel particularly meaningful. So what should we expect - new music? Exciting guests? A visually stunning spectacle? Whatever happens, we can't wait to see them light up Worthy Farm.
2. Peggy Gou - Park, 11pm
Peggy Gou's talents have extended into many careers - she has worked as a journalist and even had her own fashion label. But above all she is an incredibly prolific DJ, performing hundreds of nights each year across the world, and she was even the first Korean DJ to perform at Berlin's iconic nightclub Berghain.
However, despite being a successful and respected DJ for many years, it was only last year that Peggy was really put on the map and gained widespread attention, following the release of her latest and biggest single to date, '(It Goes Like) Nanana'. It's slick, fun and infectious, and it swiftly became one of the songs of summer in 2023.
Peggy Gou closing the Park Stage? Sounds like a perfect Saturday night.
3. The Streets - Other Stage, 8:30pm
2024 marks the 30th year since a teenage Mike Skinner started The Streets as a musical project. Three decades on they've released six studio albums and their iconic sound has been hugely influential in UK hip hop and garage.
Last year they released The Darker the Shadow the Brighter the Light, their first studio album in twelve years following the band's hiatus between 2011 and 2017. It was released along with a neo-noir film which Mike wrote, directed and starred in too, which was screened in a few cinemas around the UK.
The record has been a long time in the making but it's definitely worth the wait - it's no surprise to see that such a seminal UK band is continuing to innovate after all this time.
And they're sure to play some of their early hits too - who would want to miss that?
4. Camila Cabello - Other Stage, 6.45pm
Camila Cabello came into the spotlight at the age of just 15 when she auditioned for the X Factor US and was joined together with four other singers to form Fifth Harmony. They soon became one of the world's biggest-selling girl groups with the success of singles like 'Work From Home' and 'Worth It'.
After four years in the group Camila went solo and released her debut self-titled album a couple of years later. It was a huge success, partly due to the lead single 'Havana', which reached Number 1 in 24 countries.
She has been a major name in pop music ever since, bringing out two more albums in the meantime. In a feat of amazing timing, her fourth album C,XOXO is due to be released on Glastonbury weekend! So her Other Stage set is sure to be the best release party ever - get involved.
5. Cyndi Lauper - Pyramid Stage, 2:30pm
Girls Just Want To Have Fun, Time After Time, True Colours, She Bop - the list of Cyndi Lauper's legendary songs goes on and on.
Cyndi turns 71 this year - her career has spanned more than 40 years and along the way she has released 11 albums, along with other accolades including writing the soundtrack for the classic 80s film The Goonies and composing the Broadway musical Kinky Boots.
It's been eight years since her last album, so it's fairly safe to assume this set will be filled with her beloved hits - expect a nostalgia-heavy treat!
