What Glastonbury Festival headliners are paid with Dua Lipa, SZA and Coldplay confirmed

Glastonbury Festival's 2024 headliners have been announced, with female acts headlining the bill following last year's male-dominated line-up. Dua Lipa, SZA and the band Coldplay all head the bill at Worthy Farm. Held in Somerset, the festival will open on June 26 to 30 and is expected to attract around 210,000.

Also taking to the famous Pyramid Stage over the long weekend will be LCD Soundsystem, British rapper Little Simz, Nigerian singer Burna Boy, 80s legend Cyndi Lauper and soul star Olivia Dean. Janelle Monae, Mercury Prize winner Michael Kiwanuka, singer-songwriter Paul Heaton, Keane, Paloma Faith and Ayra Starr are also among those performing on the main stage.

Despite Glastonbury being one of the most famous music festivals in the world, it may not pay acts as much as you think. Talking to SomersetLive, Bestival organiser, Rob Da Bank, offered a glimpse of what Glastonbury pay.

He explained: "They cap their budget and even the headliners don't get paid more than £500,000 I think, which is cheap for some of the headliners and they've had a lot of them. So, that's proof of it's huge, huge influence."

To put this into context, headliners at other UK festivals can earn upwards of £1million for their performances. Across in the US, Billboard reports Beyoncé was paid an enormous £3.2million for her Coachella performance in 2018, based in California.

Glastonbury organisers Michael and Emily Eavis previously revealed their act pay structure. Michael previously said: "I paid £200,000 for Paul McCartney and for Coldplay, and although it sounds a lot, they could have charged me far more."
