As the countdown to Glastonbury 2024 begins, festival-goers across the world are gearing up for what will undoubtedly be one of the biggest and most unforgettable events of the year. While the excitement around the festival itself is palpable, what causes the most anxiety for most is the issue of stage clashes. With so many stages spread across the festival’s enormous 1,100-acre site and hundreds of acts performing, it seems impossible to choose what to go to and what to miss. And given that Glastonbury is not the easiest place to switch between stages, it is important to make sure you know the acts you don’t want to miss before you get to the farm
Legendary British singer, PJ Harvey, and up-and-coming artist, Arlo Parks, are scheduled to perform simultaneously on Friday evening. On the Other Stage is IDLES, while the experimentalists Fontaines D.C. are set to headline The Park at around the same time, making this the ultimate clash of the festival.
Saturday sees The Breeders, who are making a rare UK appearance, performing at the same time as Yard Act at the Woodsies stage. The choices continue, with Sleaford Mods taking to the stage at Woodsies, clashing with the live set of Kent dance legends, Orbital.
Sunday promises to offer some of the trickiest clashes of the festival, with the Country-pop icon, Shania Twain, set to perform on the Pyramid Stage, while Blondshell debut on the Woodsies stage and rock band Mdou Moctar take to The Park stage in this slot too. Meanwhile, the early Sunday night sets are divided between Nia Archives at the West Holts stage with her jungle rave and The xx’s Romy at the Woodsies stage. Concluding the night, Sunday’s last acts see the likes of London Grammar at The Park and the hypnotic electronics of James Blake at Woodsies, both performing simultaneously, allowing attendees to choose how they will wind down during the final stages of the festival
As Glastonbury 2024’s diverse line-up so suggests, everyone in attendance is sure to find something that he or she likes. However, given the many stages and schedules, it is advisable to make your own personal festival plan before taking off.
