As excitement builds around the upcoming Glastonbury Festival, fans are already speculating about who will headline the 2027 event. Following a fallow year in 2026, many believe Sam Fender is poised to take center stage, with recent performances fueling the anticipation.
A viral social media post highlighted a captivating performance by Fender during his current tour, drawing praise and predictions for his future headline slot at Glastonbury. This year’s Pyramid Stage lineup includes big names such as The 1975, Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo, Charli XCX, and The Prodigy, alongside a cryptic “Patchwork” set that has fans buzzing.
The speculation around Fender is strong. One fan confidently stated, “Sam Fender is a 2027 Glastonbury headliner. Log it now.” Another recalled an earlier prediction from 2022, noting Fender’s rise in the last few years and lamenting the festival’s fallow year delaying the announcement.

Despite releasing his third album, People Watching, earlier this year, Fender is noticeably absent from the 2023 lineup—a surprise to many who see him as a natural fit for the festival’s biggest stage. Fans point out that he is headlining major festivals like Belgium’s Rock Werchter and praise his electrifying live performances.
“Pyramid Stage next stop for sure,” one admirer wrote, calling Fender a “genuine superstar.” The buzz around his potential headline slot continues to grow as fans eagerly await official confirmation.
Meanwhile, curiosity surrounds the enigmatic “Patchwork” act listed on the main stage. Glastonbury enthusiasts believe they have cracked the mystery, with insider @SecretGlasto hinting that Pulp might be behind the veil. The legendary band, who recently released their first album in 24 years, More, had previously expressed reservations about performing at Glastonbury, making this potential appearance especially intriguing.
Adding to the intrigue, another TBA set remains on the schedule, igniting speculation about surprise appearances from artists like Lewis Capaldi, Lorde, or Harry Styles as the festival date approaches.
With the festival only weeks away, fans eagerly anticipate the unfolding of one of music’s most celebrated events, hoping their predictions will come true on the iconic Pyramid Stage.
