Glastonbury 2019 ticket resale dates announced

Those who missed out in the initial October ticket stampede for this summer’s Glastonbury Festival will have another stab at trying, with organisers announcing the date for the final batch of resale tickets.

Set to take place across two dates – Thursday 25th April (for coach packages) and Sunday 28th April (general admission) – the amount of available tickets will align with those that are returned into the horde when the ticket balance window closes on Sunday 7th April.

Though onsale times are yet to be confirmed, the resale will likely follow that of previous years, with coach passes available from 6pm, and GA tickets available from 9am on the Sunday.

Currently only three main acts have been announced for when Glastonbury returns in June – Pyramid Stage headliner Stormzy, West Holts headliner Janelle Monáe and Sunday Afternoon Legends Slot headliner, Kylie Minogue.

Earlier this week, festival curator Emily Eavis confirmed that The Prodigy had been booked to play this summer, though have since cancelled following the tragic passing of frontman Keith Flint.

Expect further line-up teasers to be revealed over the coming months.

Sharing the track’s visuals earlier today, the gripping new clip (directed by Ninian Doff, the mastermind behind the Chemicals’ video for ‘Sometimes I Feel So Deserted’) tells the story of an abandoned dog, ‘Girl’, plucked from the street and in a classic rags-to-riches story embarks on an intrepid journey of self-discovery.
