Glastonbury Fans, Rejoice: You Can Now Create Your Personalized Festival Lineup With Spotify

In just a few weeks, fans from around the world will descend on the green fields of Worthy Farm for Glastonbury 2024, one of the biggest cultural highlights on the U.K. music calendar. Glastonbury has set the stage for a multi-genre musical celebration this summer, with Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA set to headline, and Shania Twain filling the coveted legends slot. 

This year, Spotify is thrilled to bring the power of personalization and discovery to the Official Glastonbury App 2024, powered by Vodafone and available for iOS and Android. Through their personalized Spotify suggestions, fans can take their Glastonbury experience to the next level and make the most of a packed lineup across dozens of stages, whether they’re attending in person or streaming performances online. 

“Spotify reflects and celebrates music culture, so this partnership with Glastonbury and Vodafone is the perfect fit,” said Marc Hazan, Spotify’s Vice President, Marketing and Partnerships. “We want to forge deeper connections between artists and fans, and what better way to do that than by teaming up with the world’s greatest music festival. The integration with Vodafone’s official Glastonbury app combines Spotify’s hugely popular personalization and discovery tools so that users can really elevate their Glastonbury experience to a new level.”

This first-of-its-kind integration allows fans to link their Spotify accounts with the festival app.  The app then gives fans personalized recommendations based on their listening history for artists to check out at the legendary festival. In addition to discovering the 10 Glastonbury artists they listen to most, users can also explore a wider selection of recommendations to discover their future favorites.

“It’s great to launch this integration with Spotify to help festivalgoers discover artists playing this year,” said Glastonbury organizer Emily Eavis. “There are so many amazing acts on the lineup, and we’re really happy that the app will now help guide people towards the ones they’ll love.”

Fans who want to discover more about Glastonbury’s featured artists can use the app to find each performer’s most popular songs, along with a direct link to stream their music on Spotify. 

Spotify is also home to the official Glastonbury 2024 playlist, part of our Glastonbury 2024 hub full of music and content related to this year’s festival. Fans can not only browse around 30 individual stage lineups but also discover a selection of Glastonbury-related podcasts and audiobooks.
