Following an extraordinary second day at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday, 28 June, which saw Neil Young return to Worthy Farm after many years and Charli XCX electrify The Other Stage with her hit Brat, attention now turns to the festival’s final day before a fallow year until 2027.
Today’s headline spotlight is on Rod Stewart, who will take the coveted Legends slot on the Pyramid Stage. His set will be followed by performances from Nile Rodgers and Noah Kahan, leading up to Olivia Rodrigo’s much-anticipated Glastonbury debut as the Sunday headliner.
This year’s festival is thriving with approximately 200,000 attendees enjoying warm weather and vibrant performances across Worthy Farm. The event opened on Friday, 27 June, with British pop-rock band The 1975 returning to the Pyramid Stage for the first time in nearly a decade. Their set mixed classic hits with new tracks, though some viewers reported technical issues with the BBC iPlayer broadcast, leading to mixed reactions.
Saturday’s headline set from Neil Young sparked debate among viewers, with some questioning his choice as a top-billed act. Nevertheless, he delivered a great performance, with festival founder Michael Eavis watching from the side of the stage. The day also featured an impressive variety of artists, from Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap to the energetic pop acts Raye and Jade, US indie band Haim, and a surprise set from Britpop legends Pulp on the Pyramid Stage. Raye’s dynamic performance, in particular, was widely praised as one of the festival’s standout moments.
Neil Young’s Saturday evening show was livestreamed by the BBC, despite his initial request not to have the performance broadcast. His return closed a packed day of memorable music across multiple stages.
As Glastonbury enters its final day today, all eyes will be on Rod Stewart’s iconic Legends slot, setting the stage for Olivia Rodrigo’s headline performance, expected to deliver a memorable close to Glastonbury 2025.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that police are reviewing footage of comments made by members of Bob Vylan and Kneecap during their Saturday performances to decide if any legal action is necessary.
Other major acts on Sunday include The Prodigy, Wolf Alice, Snow Patrol, Jorja Smith, Future Islands, The Libertines, AJ Tracey, and St. Vincent, promising a star-studded finale at Worthy Farm.
🎊 That’s a wrap for Glastonbury 2025 — see you in 2027!
Glastonbury 2025 has officially come to an end, marking the conclusion of another unforgettable chapter in the festival’s rich history. Over the past three days, Worthy Farm has played host to a powerful mix of music, emotion, and unmissable moments that will live long in the memory of fans and performers alike.
From iconic headline sets to surprise appearances, the weekend was packed with highs — and a few unexpected lows. There were last-minute cancellations, emotional performances, and a crowd that once again proved why Glastonbury is more than just a music festival. It’s a cultural event unlike any other.
This year’s edition was nothing short of monumental, not only for its stellar line-up but for the atmosphere, spirit, and sense of unity that defines the Glastonbury experience.
As we bid farewell to this extraordinary weekend, we also prepare for a longer pause than usual. With 2026 designated as a fallow year — a chance for the land and locals to rest — the festival will next return in 2027.
Until then, you can relive all the magic with our full coverage and reviews linked below.
See you in 2027, Glastonbury.
🎤 Olivia Rodrigo caps off a landmark weekend at Glastonbury 2025
Olivia Rodrigo has officially taken to the Pyramid Stage to headline the final night of Glastonbury 2025 — marking a milestone 90-minute performance that many are already calling the biggest moment of her career so far.
Arriving in a white corset-style dress and flanked by a full live band, the 22-year-old kicked off her set with the fiery fan favourite Obsessed, turning the field into a full-blown rock show. The crowd — which stretches all the way to the back of the field — is buzzing with energy, fully swept up in Rodrigo fever.
It’s a fitting climax to a festival that has seen women dominate across the stages this year. After stellar sets from the likes of Lorde, Doechii, Gracie Abrams and Charli XCX, Rodrigo’s headline slot feels like a torch-passing moment for a new generation of pop power.
Rodrigo’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. Her 2021 debut single Drivers License smashed streaming records, becoming the first song in Spotify history to hit 80 million streams in a single week. Her debut album Sour, soon followed, catapulting her to global fame, with sophomore album, Guts, cementing her as a defining voice of her generation.
This isn’t Rodrigo’s first Glastonbury appearance — she made her debut on the same stage three years ago, where she memorably brought out Lily Allen for a fiery rendition of F** You*, aimed at the US Supreme Court. More recently, she shared the stage with Ed Sheeran at BTS Festival in London, so fans are watching closely tonight for any surprise guests.
Meanwhile, over on the Other Stage, The Prodigy are also tearing it up with a full-throttle set, drawing a packed crowd of their own — As Glastonbury 2025 winds to a close, it’s clear that Rodrigo has cemented her place in headline history — and she’s only just getting started.
🔥 Arcadia’s Dragonfly gears up for a spectacular final night at Glastonbury 2025
Arcadia’s iconic Dragonfly, a breathtaking art-meets-engineering spectacle, is preparing for its grand finale tonight at Glastonbury 2025. Constructed from a decommissioned Royal Navy helicopter, this aerial marvel returns with upgraded laser wings and impressive concentric flames in 2025. It symbolises transformation—shifting from an instrument of war to a beacon of unity and hope.
Central to tonight’s performance is Waraloo, a midnight ceremony co-created with the Wadjuk Noongar nation from Perth. The ritual draws on ancient dragonfly traditions, celebrating rebirth and renewal, and typically begins around 23:30.
Arcadia continues its push for a sustainable future, with the Dragonfly being entirely powered by renewable energy — thanks to a partnership with Grid Faeries and a futuristic battery system.
Musically, tonight’s lineup is packed with heavyweight talent. Acts spinning from the Dragonfly’s cockpit include Bru-C b2b Born On Road, Shy FX b2b Eats Everything, Dr Banana b2b Gallegos, and Jeremiah Asiamah, with other DJs like Eva Lazarus and Girls Don’t Sync also featured in the early evening slots.
For those who’ve followed Arcadia throughout the weekend, earlier nights featured sets from Four Tet, Logic1000, Annie Mac & Jamz Supernova, Michael Bibi b2b Solomun, Romy, and more.
Arcadia’s magical Bug vehicle—a mobile, six-wheeled art piece—has also been roving around, spreading music and carnival energy across the site. Families have been delighting in the interactive Alchemists’ Playground, where creativity meets performance.
Tonight promises a mesmerising blend of fire, light, bass, and cultural fusion as the Dragonfly takes flight one last time over Worthy Farm.

🪩 Nile Rodgers brings disco fever to Glastonbury with a feel-good set for the ages
Nile Rodgers Brings Disco Fever to Glastonbury with a Feel-Good Set for the Ages
Music legend Nile Rodgers lit up the Pyramid Stage on Sunday evening, as he and his band Chic delivered a joyful, high-energy performance packed with pop-disco classics. The show marked his third appearance at Glastonbury Festival—and it might just have been his best yet.
Ahead of the performance, the legendary producer, guitarist and founding member of Chic spoke to the BBC, reflecting on what Glastonbury means to him.
“It’s amazing, I mean this is our third time playing here, and the other two times were amazing. I can’t imagine this not being maybe even better,” Rodgers said.
“We believe in all killer and no filler. This is what we want to do. You sit in your bedroom practising all alone, and you can’t wait for a moment like Glastonbury. You don’t ever really believe you’re gonna achieve it, but when it comes — wow.”
Rodgers also reacted to news that Le Freak, Chic’s 1978 anthem, had been chosen as the official flash mob track for this year’s festival —“That’s cool. I’m ready to flash,” he grinned.
True to form, Rodgers and Chic launched their set with Le Freak, instantly transforming the Pyramid Stage into a full-blown disco party. Even the security staff were swept up in the moment, dancing in unison in their bright blue uniforms.
Without missing a beat, the band moved straight into Everybody Dance, their 1977 hit, as the crowd surrendered to the infectious rhythm. For the next hour, festivalgoers lost themselves in an unrelenting stream of feel-good funk, dazzling guitar riffs, and sing-along favourites.
From heartfelt pre-show reflections to full-throttle stage magic, Nile Rodgers once again proved why he remains one of Glastonbury’s most beloved return performers.
👅 Rod Stewart reunites with Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood on stage
Rod Stewart’s highly anticipated Legends Slot on the Pyramid Stage took an emotional turn on Sunday evening as he was joined by Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood—his former bandmate from the Faces—for a rousing rendition of their 1971 rock anthem Stay With Me.
The surprise collaboration delighted the vast crowd gathered at Worthy Farm, many of whom cheered at the sight of the old friends performing side by side once again. The energy was electric as the pair tore through the classic hit, delivering a standout moment in what was already a celebratory set.
In another light-hearted moment, Stewart introduced Lulu to the stage—only to quickly realise he was a song too early. “Oh no, she’s for the next one!” he laughed, drawing warm applause from the audience. “Shame, she would’ve sounded amazing on this!”
With nostalgic collaborations and a showman’s charm, Rod Stewart’s Glastonbury return is shaping up to be one for the history books.
👀 More surprises! 💥 Kate Nash has confirmed she’ll be hitting the BBC Introducing stage TONIGHT at 8pm for a secret set!
Fresh off a guest appearance with Sprints on Woodsies — where they teamed up for a powerful rendition of Foundations — Nash is making Glasto 2025 her own. She’s already graced the LeftField stage earlier this weekend… and now she’s closing it out with a secret set not to miss.
🌟 Rod Stewart returns to the Pyramid Stage — this time in the Legends Slot
Rod Stewart made a triumphant return to Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage this afternoon, delivering a lively and heartfelt set in the legendary Sunday tea-time slot—his first performance on the iconic stage since headlining back in 2002.
Opening his 75-minute show with Tonight I’m Yours (Don’t Hurt Me), Stewart immediately set the tone with boundless energy, moving confidently around the stage at the age of 79. Backed by a full band and a chorus of identically dressed backing singers—all sporting Stewart’s signature bleach-blonde hairstyle—the set was both visually striking and musically vibrant.
Speaking to the packed crowd on Worthy Farm, Stewart reminded festivalgoers of the unifying power of live music. “Enjoy yourselves, ladies and gentlemen—please. Music brings us together. We need music,” he said to cheers from the audience.
Final Day Crowd Guidance as Worthy Farm Gears Up for a Grand Finale
As the final day of Glastonbury 2025 gets underway this Sunday, 29 June, festival organisers are encouraging revellers to make the most of what promises to be a warm, high-energy conclusion to an unforgettable weekend at Worthy Farm.
With thousands preparing to catch closing performances across the site—and many beginning to pack up their tents—attendees are being urged to stay safe in the heat and respect the festival grounds by following the “leave no trace” ethos.
Anticipated Crowds at Major Stages
Large audiences are expected at several key stages throughout the day. Rod Stewart’s much-anticipated Legends Slot at 5.45pm on the Pyramid Stage is set to be a major draw, as is The Maccabees’ performance at 10.15pm on The Park Stage, which will close out that venue’s programming.
Other hot-ticket acts likely to attract big crowds include Sub Focus at IICON at 12.30am and Marc Rebillet at the Shangri-La stage at 2am, making the late-night zones just as lively as the daytime arenas.
To help maintain safety and enjoyment, crowd control measures will be in place across the site. Festival staff may redirect foot traffic to ease congestion, and some tented venues will be operating one-in, one-out queues during peak times.
Tips for Getting Around Safely
When exiting major venues, organisers advise allowing extra time and being patient—crowds naturally thin out with time, and a slower approach will help ease bottlenecks. Likewise, while it might be tempting to take the most direct path to a stage, alternative routes are often quicker and far less crowded.
For those seeking a quieter experience or a moment of calm, recommended areas include Dragon’s Tail, the hill above The Park, and the spaces around the Tipi Field and Green Fields.
As always, attendees are asked to listen to stewards, remain courteous, and take care of one another as the festival draws to a close.
