Build Your Own Glastonbury 2026 Hitster Pack with Hitify

This week, half a million people are gathering at Worthy Farm in Somerset, England for Glastonbury 2026 - the most legendary music festival on the planet. From June 25 to 29, the Pyramid Stage and dozens of other stages host the biggest names in music across every genre imaginable.

But even if you're not there in person, you can bring the Glastonbury spirit to your living room. With Hitify, you can identify all the iconic tracks that have defined Glastonbury over the decades and build your own Glastonbury Hitster pack for an unforgettable music game night.

What is Glastonbury?

Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts has been running since 1970. What started as a small counterculture gathering has grown into the world's largest greenfield music festival, attracting around 200,000 ticket holders plus performers and crew. The festival is famous not just for its headline acts, but for the sheer diversity of its stages - from the iconic Pyramid Stage to the acoustic Other Stage, from the dance-heavy Park Stage to the legendary dance tents.

Some of the greatest live music moments in history happened at Glastonbury. David Bowie's 2000 set. Beyonce's 2011 headline. Adele filling in at the last minute in 2016. Radiohead headlining repeatedly across three decades. These moments are burned into music history.

What is Hitster?

Hitster is the card game where you guess the release year of songs. Each card has a QR code that plays the song - you listen, then try to place it in the correct spot on your timeline. The closer you are, the more points you score. It's perfect for music fans of all generations, and it gets very competitive very fast.

With Hitify, you scan tracks with your phone's mic or camera and the app tells you exactly which song it is - perfect for building your own custom packs with themes like Glastonbury.

The beauty of a Glastonbury-themed pack is that you can span six decades of music history. Artists who have headlined Glastonbury range from legends like Stevie Wonder and Dolly Parton to modern icons like Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift. That year-guessing element becomes thrilling when you mix 1970s folk with 1990s Britpop and 2020s pop.

Here are 12 iconic songs tied to legendary Glastonbury performances - perfect for your pack:

• "Yellow" - Coldplay (2000) - Coldplay's breakthrough Glastonbury set, one of the most mythologised moments in festival history
• "Firestarter" - The Prodigy (1995) - the moment rave culture crashed into the mainstream at the Pyramid Stage
• "Bittersweet Symphony" - The Verve (1997) - performed just before the song became a global smash

Tips for Your Pack

Mix decades strategically. If all your songs are from the same era, the guessing game becomes too easy. Glastonbury's magic is that it spans everything from 1960s folk to today's pop - use that range.

Include a few surprises. Glastonbury is famous for secret sets and unexpected guests. Add a song from an artist people wouldn't immediately associate with the festival.

Don't forget the dance acts. The dance tents at Glastonbury have launched careers. Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack - this era of electronic music belongs in any Glastonbury pack.
