Lola Young has confirmed she’ll be performing at Glastonbury 2025 this June.
Speaking to Sian Welby and Zeze Millz on the red carpet at the BRIT Awards 2025 this evening (1st March), the London-born artist shared some thrilling insights about her upcoming projects.
“What’s coming up next for you? Have you been knee-deep in the studio?”, Sian asked — to which Young replied, “Yeah, I’ve been knee-deep in the studio finishing my second proper album, and then I’ve got a show on Monday, my headline show in London, then Coachella, […] and other things like Glastonbury.”
The 24-year-old rising star will be returning to Worthy Farm for the second time, after last playing Glasto in 2022 when she performed on the Lonely Hearts Club stage at the Festival’s dedicated dance music area, Silver Hayes, that year.

Best known for covering “Together in Electric Dreams” for the 2021 John Lewis Christmas advert, and for her 2024 song “Messy” (which was her first song to top the UK Singles Chart), Young was also featured on the song “Like Him” on Tyler, the Creator’s album Chromakopia in 2024, and was nominated for the Brit Award for Rising Star in 2021.
The news fresh comes on the heels of another self-confirmation from Goldie, who earlier this week revealed he’ll be back at Glastonbury Festival this June with his live show for a performance at The Glade.
Taking place this evening (1st March) at London’s O2 Arena, the BRIT Awards 2025 is in its 45th prestigious ceremony edition and is hosted by Jack Whitehall for the fifth time. The event celebrates the best in British and international music, and this year features performances from artists such as Sabrina Carpenter, Sam Fender, Lola Young, and Teddy Swims.
Underscoring the diversity and talent within the British music industry, the event highlights both emerging and established artists like Charli XCX, who leads the nominations with five nods, including British Artist of the Year and British Album of the Year.

Line-up and rumours
Eariler this year, Neil Young was announced as the first headliner for Glastonbury 2025 after he initially pulled out of the festival due to it being “a corporate turn-off”. The Canadian-born singer, songwriter icon said: “We were told that BBC was now a partner in Glastonbury and wanted us to do a lot of things in a way we were not interested in.”
However, Young then backtracked on these remarks shortly afterwards, acknowledging that there had been “an error in the information received”. “Happily, the festival is now back on our itinerary and we look forward to playing! Hope to see you there!” he wrote.
Meanwhile, Rod Stewart was announced for this year’s coveted Legend Slot late last year, while Nile Rodgers accidentally let it slip that he and Chic are set for a performance at Glastonbury 2025.
Although no other acts have been announced as of this moment in time, speculation about who might play the legendary festival is always very high, and with the summer’s event fast approaching, the Glasto Rumour Mill is already spinning in full force.
The first line-up poster is usually revealed around the beginning of March, followed by the full line-up announcement sometime at the end of May (and a string of individual area line-up announcements in between). That said, many artists ‘self-confirm’ before the official announcements by divulging the news via interviews, social media or website listings to accompany the ever-growing rumours.
Some potential prominent headliner names currently making the rumour rounds include Olivia Rodrigo, Sam Fender and The 1975, to name a few — View our daily updated list of acts confirmed, rumoured and unlikely to perform at Glastonbury 2025 so far, by clicking here.
Ticket Opportunities
The Glastonbury 2025 Autumn ticket sales took place last November with the introduction of a new queueing system, which saw Ticket Plus Coach Travel packages and General Admission tickets sell out within 32 minutes and 40 minutes, respectively.
In addition to the upcoming ticket re-sales (expected to go on sale in the spring), 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).
Some past chances for winning tickets in previous years included opportunities from Brothers Cider, The Guardian, Vodafone, Time Out, White Claw, Tony’s Chocolonely & Oxfam, Chilly’s, Hunter Boots, Barbour & Oxfam, Co-op & Brooklyn Pilsner, and more.
The sold-out Glastonbury Festival is set to return this summer and will run from the 25th to the 29th of June 2025 in Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset.
⚠️ Bogus Operators
Glastonbury Festival would very much like fans to be aware that there are people out there who will try and 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 that tickets are sold only on one site, which is glastonbury.seetickets.com
