Share On
Glastonbury 2025 is shaping up to be a legendary affair, with its full line-up now unveiled and a tantalising mystery slot on the Pyramid Stage keeping fans on their toes. The festival, running from June 25–29, boasts over 3,000 performances across its many stages. Yet, it’s the enigmatic ‘To Be Announced’ (TBA) slot on Friday, June 27, from 16:55 to 17:30 on the Pyramid Stage that’s sparking the most buzz.
The Great Glasto Guessing Game
Glastonbury has a storied history of surprise sets, and this year’s TBA slot is no exception. Fans are abuzz with speculation, drawing parallels to 2023’s ‘ChurnUps’ mystery, which turned out to be the Foo Fighters. Some believe the slot could be filled by Ed Sheeran, given his recent pattern of unannounced performances and the promotion of his upcoming album, Play. Others suggest Lady Gaga or Radiohead might make a surprise appearance, continuing the festival’s tradition of unexpected delights.
Headliners and Highlights
Beyond the mystery, the confirmed line-up is nothing short of stellar. The 1975 are set to close Friday night, with Biffy Clyro and Alanis Morissette preceding them. Saturday sees Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts take the stage, while Olivia Rodrigo headlines Sunday. Rod Stewart is slated for the coveted Sunday Legends slot, promising a nostalgic set that fans won’t want to miss.
Other notable acts include Charli XCX, Doechii, The Prodigy, Raye, and Busta Rhymes, ensuring a diverse musical experience for all attendees.
Opening Ceremonies and Special Performances
The festival kicks off on Wednesday with two unique opening ceremonies. In the Green Fields’ Sacred Space, the ‘Flame of Hope’ ceremony will unite 15 sacred flames from around the world, culminating in a powerful mantra for peace and a fireworks display at 10:45 pm. Simultaneously, the Pyramid Stage will host ‘Look To The Skies’, a breathtaking aerial odyssey featuring highwire walkers, acrobats, and circus performances, marking the first time since 1990 that such a show graces the stage.
The Patchwork Puzzle
Adding to the intrigue is a Saturday evening slot on the Pyramid Stage listed under the moniker ‘Patchwork’. Fans have been quick to speculate, with some suggesting that this could be a pseudonym for the American band Haim, drawing connections from a book titled Patchwork by an author named Sylvia Haim and noting Haim’s performance in Margate the day before.
Final Thoughts
With a line-up that blends legendary acts, contemporary stars, and enigmatic placeholders, Glastonbury 2025 promises to be an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re attending in person or tuning in via the BBC’s extensive coverage, the festival’s blend of music, mystery, and magic is set to captivate audiences worldwide.
