The long-running event will take place from 26 to 30 June next year at Worthy Farm in Somerset - but the 2024 line-up has yet to be revealed.
Organisers announced last month that ticket prices would rise again to £360 - up from £340 in 2023 and £285 in 2022.
The festival was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Around 200,000 people went to this year's Glastonbury, which was headlined by Arctic Monkeys, Guns N' Roses and Sir Elton John. A record 21.6 million viewers watched the BBC's television coverage.
