Shania Twain Confirms Legends Slot at Glastonbury in Video Message to Fans
Glastonbury Festival organizers have finally unveiled their headliners for 2024, after months of rumors and speculation.
Emily Eavis and her team announced on Thursday (14 March) that Dua Lipa, SZA, and Coldplay would headline the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm in June, while country-pop queen Shania Twain will take the coveted Legends’ Slot.
While many ticketowners are expressing excitement about the forthcoming sold-out festival, there is an air of disappointment due to the fact that many rumored high-profile musicians – including Madonna, Stevie Wonder, and Bruce Springsteen – are absent from the lineup.
However, some believe that this is a premature reaction to what could be some of the greatest pop performances Glastonbury has ever seen.

Despite the naysayers, Eavis should actually be applauded for pulling together four acts of this caliber. Far from a ‘housewives’ favorite’, the queen of country-pop Shania Twain should have played years ago, while Dua Lipa and SZA have proven themselves more than capable of putting on a spectacle worthy of the Pyramid Stage.
