Tickets for Glastonbury 2025 became available for purchase in November and were quickly sold out, with eager fans snapping them up in less than an hour. This swift sell-out was aided by the implementation of a new online queuing system designed to enhance the purchasing experience. Additionally, a resale event typically occurs in early April, allowing fans to buy unsold tickets from those who have canceled their purchases. More information regarding this year’s resale process will be available soon, providing another chance for fans to secure their spot at the festival.
The 1975 have previously graced the Glastonbury stage twice, first in 2014 with an early afternoon slot at the Pyramid Stage and then again in 2016 at The Other Stage. Their upcoming headline performance is particularly exciting as it coincides with rumors of new music. Frontman Matty Healy hinted to fans back in February that a new album is in progress, heightening anticipation for their performance at the festival.
Speculation surrounding Olivia Rodrigo‘s headlining position has been rampant, especially given her upcoming UK tour commitments, which include a major concert at BST Hyde Park in London and rescheduled gigs in Manchester that align perfectly with the festival dates. Rodrigo made a memorable debut at Glastonbury in 2022, where she performed a lively rendition of “F–ck You” alongside singer Lily Allen, making her return to the festival highly anticipated by fans.
Canadian rock legend Neil Young announced his participation as a headliner for Glastonbury, a decision that came after initially expressing concerns about the festival’s corporate nature. Days after stating he would withdraw from the lineup, he reversed his decision, expressing his excitement to perform at an event he has always cherished. In a brief statement on his website, he clarified that a miscommunication led to his initial withdrawal. Young’s return is sure to add an exciting dynamic to the festival experience.
“Due to an error in the information received, I had decided to not play the Glastonbury festival, which I have always loved,” it read. “Happily, the festival is now back on our itinerary and we look forward to playing! Hope to see you there!”
Reflecting on 2024, Glastonbury was headlined by major artists such as Dua Lipa, SZA, and Coldplay. Coldplay made history by becoming the first act to headline the festival five times, with previous performances in 2002, 2005, 2011, and 2016, showcasing their enduring popularity and connection with festival-goers.
