Glastonbury 2027 may be almost two years away, but rumours are already swirling about who could be set to perform.

One artist who isn’t afraid to throw his name in the ring is Bush’s Gavin Rossdale, who has said he is keen to return.

‘I thought we did quite well when we played there, but we never went back, so it could be time.

‘I would love to play Glastonbury. I still remember that show. It’s brilliant and it would be 25 years…’ he told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column.

The band first performed at Worthy Farm in 1999, the same year they performed at Woodstock and released their third album, The Science of Things.

Their last appearance at the festival was in 2002, which means that a 2027 appearance at the festival would mark a quarter of a decade since the last time they appeared on stage.

The acts bookies think may be set to appear on the Pyramid Stage include Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, and Sam Fender.

William Hill also predicts Beyoncé, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Eminem, Chappell Roan, Little Simz, and Fred Again could be in the running.

2025 saw Olivia Rodrigo, The 1975, and Neil Young headline on different nights across the weekend.

Charli XCX appeared on The Other Stage and Lewis Capaldi dropped in for a surprise return to the stage. Raye, Biffy Clyro, Gracie Abrams, Doechii, Beabadoobee, and a debut performance from Noah Kahan also thrilled fans this year.

In 2024, fans were treated to ColdplayDua Lipa, and Sza, which marked the first time the festival had two female headliners in its over 50-year history.

Gavin chatted to The Sun while promoting Bush’s tenth album, I Beat Loneliness, which was released on July 18.

The singer chatted to Metro about the album, telling us that it’s dedicated to everyone who is going through tough times.

‘This record is really dedicated to all of us who have – which is, by the way, everyone – gone through a lot of things, and are just trying their best to manage under all their own circumstances.

‘Everybody has their circumstances, and everybody has their histories. So when I write a song like We’re All The Same On The Inside, or Don’t Be Afraid, those are soothing songs to myself that, in turn, I hope will be inherited by people and taken as theirs.’

In the interview, he also debunked a major myth about Bush’s name, emphasising that they are NOT named after Shepherd’s Bush.
