Glastonbury 2024 lineup: Dua Lipa, SZA, Coldplay top the big names list

Get ready for a history-making Glastonbury this year! The festival lineup is finally here, and it's packed with big names and a record-breaking female presence.

Dua Lipa, SZA, and Coldplay are topping the bill, with Shania Twain taking the coveted Legends slot on Sunday. This marks the first time Glastonbury has had two out of three female headliners, a major shift after the all-male lineup in 2023.


Dua Lipa returns to Glastonbury after a seven-year absence, this time gracing the prestigious Pyramid Stage. Fresh off her electrifying performances at the Brits and Grammys, Lipa is set to deliver a night to remember, drawing from her highly anticipated new album "Radical Optimism." Remember the name - "Radical Optimism" is set to be a genre-bending record inspired by psychedelia, trip-hop, and Britpop.

SZA, the "hottest hip-hop/ R&B act on the planet" according to organisers, is also making her Pyramid Stage debut. Having dominated the charts with her album "SOS" and the smash hit "Kill Bill," SZA is a rising star with momentum on her side. Don't miss her set - it could be a show-stealer!

Coldplay, Glastonbury veterans with four previous headline slots under their belt, will return to break the record for most Glastonbury headline performances. While frontman Chris Martin previously expressed reservations due to online criticism, Glastonbury is their only European stop on their record-breaking world tour.

Shania Twain, the legendary country music icon, brings her Las Vegas residency magic to Glastonbury. Known for hits like "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" and "You're Still The One," Twain promises a high-energy sing-along party in the legends slot.

Britain moves to ban porn showing sexual strangulation

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
