Olivia Dean has declined the opportunity to headline Glastonbury Festival. The talented artist, who won a BRIT Award, has risen to international prominence since her debut album, Messy, was released three years ago.

During this period, the 27-year-old has achieved remarkable milestones in her career, including headlining BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend and performing at the prestigious BRIT Awards. Despite her familiarity with the festival scene, Olivia has opted out of performing on the iconic Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury next year.

Sources indicate that Olivia is looking forward to potentially gracing the festival stage in 2028. Her decision to forego the opportunity for next year is unrelated to rumors linking her romantically with Harry Styles, who is also rumored to be headlining. According to a source quoted by The Sun, Olivia’s team engaged in discussions with Glastonbury about headlining in 2027, but she decided to focus on creating new music and aims to return when her third album is ready.

Sam Fender’s collaboration with Olivia on the track “Rein Me In” recently broke a 73-year-old record for the longest-running UK Number 1 song in history. The song, which spent 19 weeks at the top of the charts, received accolades at the BRIT Awards and contributed significantly to Olivia’s international success, leading to wins at the Grammys, MOBOs, and BRIT Awards.

Sam Fender, acknowledging the song’s success, credited Olivia and their fans for its achievements. The duo performed the hit live in the United States for the first time during Olivia’s headline performance at Lollapalooza.

The Mirror has reached out to Olivia’s representatives and Glastonbury for further comments on the matter.
