Glastonbury 2025 line-up: full list of artists in the running to headline

Glastonbury might inactive beryllium months distant but with tickets going connected sale, treatment has already turned to who is headlining Worthy Farm successful 2025.

The legendary euphony festival played big to Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA successful the summer, with thousands flocking to Somerset to drawback unrecorded music.

Since then, a lot’s happened successful the satellite of popular that has nary uncertainty shaken things up successful the caput of festival organiser Emily Eavis arsenic she decides connected the line-up for 2025.

Oasis came backmost (and instantly unopen down headliner rumours) meantime Eminem landed his archetypal fig 1 way since 2005 positive the epic instrumentality of The Scissor Sisters.

Let’s not hide arsenic good that a certain planetary megastar volition person conscionable had six months disconnected from the extremity of the Eras Tour by the clip Glastonbury 2025 comes around.

But it’s besides worthy keeping an oculus connected younger acts similar Olivia Rodrigo and Sam Fender, arsenic good arsenic singer-songwriters Harry Styles and Billy Joel, who could bid the Pyramid Stage with ease.

So, who’s successful the running?

Olivia Rodrigo

Much similar erstwhile headliners Oasis (in 1995), Billie Eilish (in 2022), and SZA (in 2024), Olivia Rodrigo mightiness lone person 2 albums to her name, but that shouldn’t halt her taking to the Pyramid Stage.

Betideas person 5/1 likelihood for her to grace Worthy Farm with her beingness during the summertime of 2025, portion OLBG puts her arsenic favourite astatine 1/3.

The anticipation of Olivia arsenic a headliner is adjacent much tantalising erstwhile you realise she’s in the UK for BST Hyde Park connected the Friday (which does regularisation retired opening night).

She won’t beryllium jetting backmost to the US though arsenic her rescheduled Co-op Live Manchester gig is connected the Monday — leaving Saturday and Sunday wide open.

The Glastonbury organisers person decidedly appealed to teenage marketplace much and much successful caller years, with SZA and Billie Eilish (and different 2025 tip, Fred Again), and Olivia’s imaginable quality could beryllium different illustration of that.

For immoderate older heads retired determination who mightiness beryllium doubting whether Olivia’s the close choice, her peculiar blend of teen popular stone has incorporated alternate and indie stone styles, and has landed her 3 UK fig ones to date.

In our opinion, it’s improbable they’d hazard different US popstar connected Sunday nighttime aft the effect to SZA truthful Olivia could instrumentality the Saturday spot.

Sam Fender

Another young look who has go 1 of the UK’s champion unrecorded acts is Sam Fender – the North Shields-born singer-songwriter who is presently successful consideration to headline.

Boasting a twelve deed singles and 2 consecutive fig 1 albums, Sam, 30, has had a whirlwind 5 years aft his debut medium Hypersonic Missiles topped the charts.

He’s 1 of the favourites to header — astatine 3/1 according to immoderate bookies — arsenic speculation grows that organisers could opt for a solo antheral vocalist this twelvemonth

Known for hits specified arsenic Seventeen Going Under and opus Homesick with Noah Kahan, helium was besides portion of the postulation of artists who deed fig 1 with Times Like These, released astatine the commencement of the Covid-19 pandemic.

He’s already played galore large festivals each astir the UK and has completed respective sell-out tours too. With those deed songs to his sanction and immoderate awesome streaming figures, it mightiness beryllium champion to onslaught portion the robust is hot.

In May 2024, Sam said helium was hard astatine enactment connected a 3rd album, which means he’ll person respective much hits to adhd to the setlist if the telephone comes from Emily Eavis.

Harry Styles

A accordant rumour of the past fewer years has been Harry Styles, aft the occurrence of his solo vocation aft leaving One Direction successful 2016.

The singer-songwriter, 30, has 3 albums and a tally of planetary smash-hit singles to his sanction — even Stevie Nicks approves.

He’s arsenic debased arsenic 7/4 with immoderate bookmakers, portion others person him astatine 4/1, with betting markets regarding the As It Was hitmaker arsenic being adjacent the apical of Emily Eavis’ database for Glastonbury 2025.

To date, he’s scored 2 UK fig 1 singles, 2 UK fig 1 albums, portion As It Was spent 10 weeks astatine fig 1 and was successful the apical 40 for much than a year.

After the daze death of bandmate Liam Payne, speculation has grown that One Direction could usage a Pyramid Stage slot arsenic an excuse to reunite and wage tribute to their friend.

While that would surely beryllium a header amusement to remember, One Direction’s grief and healing is their ain and does not request unit from overly keen fans.

Green Day

Move implicit solo artists, Glastonbury fans person been calling for a stone set to instrumentality to the signifier and Green Day has proven a fashionable name.

Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool person been staples of the stone country since the 90s truthful would deed that saccharine spot of a nostalgia creator and beardown unrecorded band.

2023’s Guns n Roses saw immense occurrence astatine Glastonbury and aft past year’s pop-filled lineup, the American Idiot hitmakers could beryllium the cleanable answer.

Ladbrokes has them astatine 7/2 odds, and they person conscionable been announced arsenic a header enactment for Download Festival, which runs successful Donnington Park from June 13 to 15.

Fans person been suggesting that with the Download header announcement, determination mightiness beryllium limitations connected Green Day to execute elsewhere but we tin dream.

Eminem

Eminem headlining Glastonbury feels similar thing that’s been agelong overdue. Arguably the biggest sanction successful rap for 25 years, Marshall Mathers is inactive topping the charts and selling millions.

The crushed for Eminem’s lack from Pyramid Stage line-ups successful the past is down to the bittersweet information that Glastonbury and rap euphony haven’t ever been champion friends.

Jay Z headlined the festival successful 2008 but the determination to person him header was met with steadfast (and let’s look it, insidious) disapproval by the likes of Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher.

But since then, large names similar Kanye West, Stormzy, and Kendrick Lamar person each rocked the Pyramid Stage with rap and person gone down good with the viewers backmost astatine home.

So with Eminem backmost successful the charts aft Houdini’s occurrence and the merchandise of The Death of Slim Shady, possibly 2025 is the twelvemonth erstwhile the existent Slim Shady volition basal up astatine Worthy Farm.

Bookies person the prima astatine a tenable 6/4 odds, could Eminem footwear disconnected the full festival with a Friday nighttime slot?

Sabrina Carpenter

The Short n Sweet icon that is Sabrina Carpenter is simply a precocious summation to the speculation with Ladbrokes putting her astatine 6/4 odds.

She’s presently connected her satellite tour, which volition scope the UK successful March 2024 for immoderate sold-out shows in the likes of Manchester, London, and Birmingham.

After her European limb finishes, she’s got just nether a period of downtime earlier Glastonbury that could beryllium spent preparing for a headlining show.

Sabrina, 25, has had a immense twelvemonth with her deed songs Espresso and Please Please Please arsenic good arsenic landing Grammy nominations.

Last year, up of her 5th album’s success, Sabrina was the penultimate enactment earlier BlackPink astatine BST Hyde Park and played Captial’s Summertime Ball — she’s owed her ain header moment.

The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones person not headlined Glastonbury since 2013, truthful we mightiness beryllium owed for a small stone and rotation revisit.

Mick Jagger and the set person conscionable been connected a circuit astir the US for their latest medium but did tease a UK limb could beryllium connected the way.

If they denote dates here, a circuit could autumn close astir the clip of Glastonbury 2025, making them a precise convincing option.

Even without a circuit tie-in, bookies person the 60s rockers astatine 10/1 to headline.

Fred Again

Superproducer Fred Again is presently 10/11 on astatine immoderate bookmakers to measurement onto the Pyramid Stage adjacent June, with an arsenal of large hits backing up that possibility.

The London-based DJ, whose existent sanction is Fred Gibson, headlined the Reading & Leeds Festival successful 2024 and won DJ Mag’s champion unrecorded enactment grant backmost successful 2022.

His prima has risen sharply since unrecorded venues opened up again aft the Covid-19 pandemic, with a tally of UK deed singles and collaborations with different large names successful pop.

That database of collaborators means we could beryllium successful for a large nighttime of Fred bringing celebrated faces onto the stage, including Baby Keem, Skrillex, Anderson .Paak, and Sampha.

His latest album, titled Ten Days, reached the apical 10 connected the UK albums illustration and a speedy merchandise earlier Glastonbury 2025 could marque it intolerable for organisers to resist.

However, Glastonbury doesn’t thin to opt for DJs connected the Pyramid Stage, adjacent the iconic Disclosure recovered themselves connected the Other Stage past year.

It’s acold much apt that Fred Again volition header 1 of the galore different stages than instrumentality a Pyramid Stage header slot — though we’re blessed for organisers to beryllium america wrong.

Madonna

By each accounts, popular legend Madonna was each lined up header the Pyramid Stage past summer.

The organisers had antecedently teased her engagement and bookies likelihood connected her headlining were incredibly short.

But then, erstwhile the line-up was announced, the True Blue and Vogue vocalist was obscurity to beryllium found, with SZA headlining the Sunday slot instead.

The reasons for Madonna’s lack inactive aren’t wholly clear, but fans person speculated that her wellness battles earlier successful 2024 had thing to bash with it.

While she was inactive capable to implicit the tour, her family begged her not to ‘push herself’. Come 2025, Madonna could good beryllium afloat rested and acceptable to go.

That being said, for years present the Madonna rumours harvest up and person been proven mendacious clip and clip again.

Could she yet instrumentality to the Pyramid Stage arsenic our Sunday headliner and adjacent the festival with a bang up of a fallow year?

Billy Joel

After the occurrence of Sir Elton John’s legendary Sunday acceptable astatine Glastonbury 2023, who says different Piano Man can’t grace the Pyramid Stage successful 2025?

The legendary singer-songwriter, 75, inactive performs unrecorded connected a regular ground and has capable hits and fashionable heavy cuts to capable 2 implicit sets, ne'er caput one.

And his sanction appears to beryllium a superior information for Glastonbury organisers, with the We Didn’t Start the Fire hitmaker arsenic debased arsenic 5/2 with immoderate bookmakers.

Across his career, which has present spanned six decades, he’s scored 8 UK apical 10 albums, a tally of apical 10 singles (reach fig 1 with Uptown Girl), and a full of conscionable nether 3 years successful the British charts.

Billy Joel has the feeling of a Sunday legends slot benignant of act, aft Shania Twain’s show this year.

Scissor Sisters

We’re officially starting the rumour that Scissor Sisters are playing Glastonbury aft their huge reunion announcement earlier this year.

Possibly much suited for a Legends slot but we reckon they’d propulsion successful large numbers if they took to the Pyramid Stage.

When Metro asked the set astir the festival, Jake Shears, who played arsenic a solo creator recently, replied: ‘Glastonbury is my favourite amusement connected planet. It truly is.

‘There’s conscionable those sets that you retrieve for the remainder of your beingness and you truly spell retired connected signifier astatine Glastonbury to play the champion you’ve ever played. I would play Glastonbury until I footwear the bucket.’

Their UK circuit ends successful May, with nary planetary dates announced truthful far, truthful determination is thing stopping Emily Eavis from calling the radical up… please?
