Glastonbury 2024: The Welsh bands and artists and who to look out for (2024)

Heading to Glastonbury this year? You might want to look out for the Welsh bands and artists who will be taking to the stage.

Glastonbury 2024 features a long line-up of Welsh acts who will be performing across its various stages.

“The Welsh artists playing at Glastonbury, from the smallest stage to the Pyramid Stage, are going to remember this weekend forever,” BBC Radio 6 Music presenter Huw Stephens said.

“There is an abundance of Welsh talent at the moment in music, and I think it’s reflected in the Glastonbury line-up this year.”

So what are all the Welsh bands and artists at Glastonbury 2024, and when can you watch them?

Singer Charlotte Church is set to appear at Glastonbury on Friday, between 15:00 BST – 16:00, on the Left Field stage.

She'll be joining Bow Anderson and Billy Bragg as part of his Radical Round Up.

Wrexham indie band The Royston Club are performing a number of slots across the Glastonbury weekend, including:

• Friday, 19:00 – 19:40, Strummerville
• Saturday, 15:45 – 16:45, Bread and Roses

“The Royston Club from Wrexham have three gigs at Glastonbury this year,” said Stephens.

“It’s a huge deal to be playing what’s regarded as the world’s best festival.”

Another Wrexham artist, Cara Hammond will be performing on Saturday between 12:00 – 12:40 on the Bread and Roses stage.

“For artists like Cara Hammond from Wrexham, who just did a fantastic Horizons session... it’s a great opportunity,” said Stephens.
