Glasto is the celeb hotspot, it’s a fact.

In 2022, Sienna Miller, Niall Horan, Brie Larson, and Tilda Swinton were all spotted.

There were even sightings of Game of Thrones star Kit Harington and actual royalty Princess Beatrice, who joined the revellers with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

Glastonbury 2023 has a stellar line-up and will see Sir Elton John headline as he completes his final tour.

Blondie, Becky Hill, Aitch, Arctic Monkeys, Lana Del Rey, Carly Rae Jepsen, Guns N’ Roses, Lewis Capaldi, Lil Nas X, Lizzo, and Raye are also confirmed.

Given that BST Hyde Park attracts some of the biggest headliners in the music industry, it’s no surprise that the celebs also flock to watch.

Meanwhile, literal Tom Cruise popped up during Adele’s gig last year, along with James Corden, Nick Grimshaw, and TV presenters Ant McPartlin and Lorraine Kelly.
