Glastonbury 2025 lineup revealed

The UK’s Glastonbury Festival has announced two first-time headliners, alongside a swathe of other artists for the 2025 edition.

British pop-rock group The 1975 will top the Friday night billing on the Pyramid stage, while US pop-punk songwriter Olivia Rodrigo will close the stage on Sunday night, becoming the second-youngest Glastonbury headliner ever.

It comes shortly after festival heads at ILMC 37 told delegates that their 2025 editions are topped by young and new headliners.

Saturday night at Glastonbury will be headlined by Neil Young and his band The Chrome Hearts, who previously topped the bill in 2009. On 1 January, Young declared, out of the blue, that he was withdrawing from this year’s festival owing to his perception that it was under broadcast partner the BBC’s “corporate control”. Two days later, he said he had received “an error in information” and that the festival was “back on our itinerary”.

The 27-year-old soul-pop singer Raye will take the stage before Young, reaping the rewards of critical and commercial success with her debut album, My 21st Century Blues.

The festival previously revealed that Rod Stewart would take this year’s Sunday teatime Legends slot – his first performance at Worthy Farm since headlining the Pyramid Stage in 2002.

Other first-time Glastonbury performers include younger acts such as Noah Kahan, Gracie Abrams, Lola Young, Myles Smith

The Other stage headliners have also been revealed today, with Loyle Carner topping the bill on Friday, Charli XCX closing the stage on Saturday and the Prodigy finishing proceedings on Sunday – their first Glasto performance since the death of their frontman, Keith Flint, in 2019.

After winning best rap album for her mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal at this year’s Grammy awards, the Florida rapper Doechii will headline the West Holts stage on Saturday.

Other first-time Glastonbury performers include younger acts such as Noah Kahan, Gracie Abrams, Lola Young, Myles Smith, Amaarae, JADE and Shaboozey, and musical icons such as Alanis Morissette, Busta Rhymes, Brandi Carlile, En Vogue, Anohni and the Johnsons, Cymande, Osees and Gary Numan.

Worthy Farm stalwarts scheduled to return include Ezra Collective, Amyl and the Sniffers, Jorja Smith, Wet Leg, PinkPantheress, CMAT, Self Esteem, Wolf Alice, Scissor Sisters, Pa Salieu, TV On The Radio and more.

More acts are yet to be announced in the coming months, with performances rumoured from Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter. See the lineup so far here.

Glastonbury Festival 2025 takes place from 25 to 29 June at Worthy Farm, Pilton. The 210,000-capacity event will then take a fallow year in 2026 to allow the farmland to rest. The last intentional one was in 2018, while the 2020 and 2021 festivals were cancelled due to the pandemic.
