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

Yep, it'll be that.

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

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 

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.

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

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.

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.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
