Glastonbury is back this weekend – with arguably the world’s most famous music festival celebrating its 50th anniversary after two enforced fallow years due to the global pandemic.

This year’s event will attract an impressive 210,000 music fans to Worthy Farm, but that still leaves more than two million people who tried to get a ticket but failed.

Luckily for those who missed out, many of the highlights of Glastonbury will be broadcast on television and, if you see an act that you particularly like, there’s every chance they’ll be playing Scotland in the coming months.

Sadly you’re too late for the likes of Billy Eillish, The Pet Shop Boys, The Avalanches, Lorde and Phoebe Bridgers, who have already played Scotland this year – but there are plenty of others you can bag tickets for.

Here’s who you can see, where they’ll be playing, and when.
