2024 dates

[airwaves]

I need to make plans for 2024 soon (visiting USA for a total eclipse on April 8, 2024, and planning for it to be in the early part of a 12 week trip) 

When will Glasto 2024 be? 

12 weeks from / about April 8 gets me close to when I think it would be so I need to think whether I start with the eclipse of arrive a week or more beforehand to fit in Texas before the eclipse

Thanks

The 2024 summer solstice is Thursday 20 June so GF will probably  be 19 - 23 June...........10 weeks after 8 April

In 2019 it was 26 to Sunday 30 June. 

In 2024 there's Sunday 30 June again. 

Won't it probably be 26 to 30 June again then??

It's traditionally held the first weekend after the summer solstice

I thought it was always last full weekend of June, as simple as that 

Nothing to do with solstice, it's been Sunday 30th June a few times for last day

Last full weekend of June, so 26th to 30th

Yep, it'll be that.

Hasn't been as early as (finishing on) the 23rd since the 80s.

This - it always contains the last Sunday of the month, this year solstice ties in (sort of) with the festival with it being on the Wednesday.

Thank you all for your replies

It’s always the first Friday after the summer solstice so will be 26th to 30th June 2024

[whisty]

Last full weekend in June, whenever that is 😀

The summer solstice in 2024 is Thursday 20th June so the first Friday after is the 21st

The summer solstice in 2019 was Friday the 21st making 26 - 30 2019 the first weekend after the solstice (Friday 28th being the first Friday after the solstice)

To keep it simple, Forget the solstice. It's always the last Saturday and Sunday in June.

What about when it was held in September?

Or when it was held 18 - 20th of June

Even assuming your assertion that it's the first weekend after the solstice is correct, which I don't think it is, those dates wouldn't be correct as they would mean the festival would already be in progress when the solstice takes place.

The official start of the festival is Friday (when the mains stages open) which makes the weekend beginning Friday 21st the first weekend after the solstice which occurs on the 20th in 2024

This has always been my opinion.

 It’s always the last full weekend in June.

Picture saying 366 days confirms 26th-30th

It's the first full weekend after the solstice - 21st June is on the Friday and so is not after it. So effectively the same thing.

We can all stop wondering. I've had a Glasto merch email which also states

GLASTONBURY 2024 DATES CONFIRMED
As lots of you have been asking, we're happy to confirm that next year's Glastonbury will take place from Wednesday, June 26th to Sunday, June 30th 2024.

So the last Saturday and Sunday in June as expected.

Massively relieved to have confirmation it's back on, was fearing the worst of an off year 😅
