Artificial intelligence correctly predicted some of the Glastonbury 2024 headliners, but it didn’t get everything right.
Last year, Daily Star asked Bard AI, one of the world’s most popular “creative” AI tools, who might perform at the festival held at Worthy Farm, Somerset, which opened this week. The result was the names of two of the headliners: Coldplay and Dua Lipa.
When asked who would be on stage this year, the system replied: “There are a number of acts rumoured to be performing.” It then listed the lineup, which included Chris Martin and co.

Bard AI, who called the Fix You singers “one of the most popular bands in the world”, explained: “They have headlined Glastonbury four times in the past and are said to be in advanced talks to headline the festival again in 2024.”
The AI tool also correctly picked Dua Lipa, saying the Dance The Night beauty would be a “big draw” for Glastonbury. “She’s never performed at the festival before but is said to be keen to do so,” it said.
However, there were also some errors, as the system suggested that Queen of Pop Madonna and Rihanna also appeared to be on the bill. Lady Gaga was another big artist who appeared.
Bard AI also listed the Spice Girls as possible artists, but fans were disappointed when that didn’t turn out to be the case. The tool also said that The 1975 could be on the Pyramid stage.
The system explained its choices, stating: “Some of them, like Coldplay, have a long history at the festival, having headlined the bill several times in the past. Others, like The 1975 and Dua Lipa, are currently two of the most popular artists in the world and would be a huge draw for festival-goers.”
Dua Lipa will be on the Pyramid stage on Friday (June 28) and Coldplay will perform on Saturday. SZA will take the stage Sunday night.
