In a continued stream of line-up announcements, Glastonbury Festival has now revealed the line-up poster of its dedicated area for children and families, also known as Kidzfield.

Sharing the news via their social channels this afternoon (Tuesday, 22nd April) at 12pm, Glasto officials said: “Check out the Kidzfield ‘s magical line-up for Glastonbury 2025!”

Included in the colourful programme, and returning to the Kidzfield once again for this year’s Festival, are household names such as everyone’s favourite funny fox and a genuine Kidzfield legend Basil Brush, children’s author and poet Michael Rosen, storyteller Junk Jodie, London-based brass band Das Brass, and many more — as shown in the poster below.

Located to the northeast of the Festival site, north of William’s Green and the Meeting Point, and west of the Acoustic Stage, children will find a field full of castles and aliens, bubbles and clowns, swingboats and roundabouts, magic and many more.

As always, all children aged 12 or under are admitted free to Glastonbury 2025, and all activities within the Kidzfield will be without charge, with Kidzfield committed to the UN Charter for Child Rights, while promoting honest values and providing a safe place for play and exploration. Creativity, self-expression, curiosity, and magic are encouraged, nourished and celebrated in this field.

The dedicated children and families area is open from 12:00noon to 19:00pm on Thursday and 9:00am to 19:00pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday — with detailed timings for the different shows listed on blackboards around the field each day.

Lineup News

Organisers have recently been gradually releasing separate line-up posters for the many areas, stages, and venues across the site in the run-up to this year’s Festival. Those who’ve been revealed so far include the Acoustic Stage, Field of Avalon, West Holts, Silver Hayes, Croissant Neuf, Shangri-La, and most recently, Kidzfield, as mentioned above.

Before the string of posters began to drop, the first main line-up poster was revealed earlier this year (6th March), in which it confirmed that headliners The 1975, (previously announced) Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo will all be taking to the iconic Pyramid Stage on Friday 27th, Saturday 28th, and Sunday 29th of June, respectively.

Rod Stewart was also announced as this year’s Sunday afternoon tea-time Legends slot performer. Other names featured in the ever-growing bill include Loyle Carner, Charli XCX, Biffy Clyro, The Maccabees, Lucy Dacus, Father John Misty, RAYE, Wolf Alice, The Prodigy, Doechii, St. Vincent, Gary Numan, Deftones, Scissor Sisters, The Libertines, Wet Leg — and first-time appearances from Alanis Morissette, Doechii and En Vogue.

More individual areas and stages lineups are expected to be announced over the coming weeks, before the full bill gets revealed sometime at the end of May / beginning of June.

That said, there are many artists who ‘self-confirm’ before the official announcements by divulging the news via interviews, social media or website listings to accompany the ever-growing Glasto rumours.

Build Progress

Meanwhile, with each passing day, in preparation for this year’s highly anticipated event, Worthy Farm is looking more and more like the world-famous Glastonbury Festival we all know and love.

The iconic Pyramid Stage finally began to get dressed earlier this month (10th April), after the covers (which were dropped off days earlier and lying on the ground beside the iconic structure) were raised and cloaked over the Port side of the pyramid skeleton, as seen in the visual post below.

With gates to the public on the 25th of June, and as more containers carrying equipment continue to arrive on-site intermittently, we can expect the build to grow in intensity as more iconic stages and venues come to life once again to create the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world.

You can now continue following the build via the BBC Glastonbury webcam, here.

Ticket Opportunities

Last November saw the first main wave of tickets, which included tickets packaged with coach travel, sell out in just 32 minutes, before General Admission tickets were all snapped up in 35 minutes.

The next chance to buy tickets will be when the first official resale takes place later this month (24th April) in the coach plus ticket packages resale, ahead of a general resale on Sunday morning (27th April).

In addition to the upcoming ticket re-sales, some other opportunities for getting to Glastonbury include volunteering and working at the Festival, as well as entering competitions (once those options make themselves available).

Just recently, Brother Cider, who have once again been confirmed as the ‘Official Cider’ of Glastonbury Festival for 2025, announced that they are giving away 5 pairs of tickets to this year’s event.

Other chances for winning tickets to this year’s event include Vodafone, Chilly’s, Barbour & Oxfam, and more, as detailed in our daily updated list of Glastonbury competitions, here.

⚠️ Bogus Operators

Glastonbury Festival would like fans to be aware that there are people out there who will try to sell fake Glastonbury tickets to unsuspecting, willing and innocent potential purchasers. Although Glasto-veterans who have been going to the Festival for quite some time may recognise these scams for what they are, newcomers might not.

Please do not risk falling victim to touts, bogus operators or fake promotions / contests. If you have doubts about any company offering tickets, accommodation or competitions to access Glastonbury Festival, please get in touch with the Festival office – and as always, remember: tickets are sold only on one site, which is glastonbury.seetickets.com
