Glastonbury 2023 ticket prices - who's rumoured to headline? Eminem to the Spice Girls

It might seem like a long way off, but talk of next year's summer festival season is already underway as Glastonbury organisers release the details for 2023 tickets, due to go on sale in November 2022.

The iconic festival is the highlight of summer for many and it's set to return to Worthy Farm next year from June 21 to June 25.

But fans have been left disappointed after finding out that the 2023 tickets have had a massive price hike.

General sale tickets for Glastonbury 2023 will cost £70 more than tickets for the 2022 festival, which were originally sold in 2019 for Glastonbury 2020, before Covid delayed the festival for two years.

Festival goers have been quick to hit out at the increasing cost on Twitter, accusing Glastonbury of now being "exclusively for the wealthy".

But co-organiser Emily Eavis has defended the new ticket prices. In a statement posted to Twitter she said: "We have tried very hard to minimise the increase in price on the ticket but we're facing enormous rises in the costs of running this vast show, whilst still recovering from the huge financial impact of two years without a festival because of Covid."

Here's how much tickets will cost and who is rumoured to be headlining.

General admission tickets for Glastonbury 2023 will cost £335 plus a £5 booking fee, bringing the total ticket cost to £340.

When booking you'll also need to pay a £50 deposit to secure your ticket.

In comparison, tickets for Glastonbury 2019 cost £248, plus a £5 booking fee, and tickets for the delayed Glastonbury festival that went ahead this year were priced at £265 plus the booking fee.

This means that since 2019 Glastonbury tickets have now risen in price by 34%.

Tickets for this year's festival are due to go on sale in November, but to be able to purchase a ticket you'll need to have registered in advance.

You can register on the Glastonbury website and registration will close on October 31 at 5pm GMT.

Who is headlining Glastonbury 2023?

While Glastonbury organisers are yet to confirm the line-up for 2023, there are some high-profile musicians who are rumoured to make an appearance.

According to The Sun, Eminem is reportedly in talks with Glastonbury bosses and is due to headline the Pyramid stage next summer.

A source told them: "Eminem is wanted for a huge slot at Glastonbury and has been in talks for yonks.

"His dates all line up and if they can get him on board, it will be the first time he has ever played at the festival."

It's also been reported that the Artic Monkeys have signed a deal to be a headliner at Glastonbury 2023.

A source said: "Alex Turner and the band are coming back to Glastonbury, and this time their set is going to be even bigger and better.

"The lads have signed on the dotted line and will return to the Pyramid Stage next June."

If they do return, it will mark a decade since they last appeared on the Pyramid Stage of the iconic festival.

Another nostalgic musician keen to book a slot at Glastonbury is Take That star Robbie Williams.

Robbie, who has been a solo artist for 25 years now, told BBC Breakfast that he'd love to take the legends slot, saying: "I'd like another go round on that stage and feel that audience and get the chance to do it."

But BBC journalist Colin Paterson revealed to Robbie that the Spice Girls are also interested in a headlining spot, with Mel C telling them "It's the dream. It's the absolute dream."
