Silver Hayes has revealed its dedicated line-up for Glastonbury 2025, featuring over 150 acts and artists who have now been added to the ever-growing bill.
Announcing the news this morning (Thursday, 3rd April) at 10:00am sharp, Glastonbury officials shared a post on their official social channels, saying: “Check out this year’s incredible Silver Hayes programme. For 2025, the original dance music area at Worthy Farm combines forward-thinking electronic artists across five music stages with positive action, debate, technology & design throughout the field.”
The latest announcement comes as the sold-out festival is set to return to Worthy Farm between the 25th and the 29th of June, with the official resales expected to take place some time later this month.
The announcement of the first line-up poster, which was shared last month (6th March), revealed that The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo would be the three Pyramid Stage headliners. It was also confirmed late last year that Rod Stewart will take on the coveted Legend Slot on the Sunday afternoon.
Today’s Silver Hayes message was accompanied by a platter of individual lineup posters (shown below) for each of its 4 stages – The Levels, Lonely Hearts Club, Assembly, and Firmly Rooted Soundsystem – comprising the Silver Hayes area, along with information about the notorious dance area, which first debuted at the Festival in 2013.
❓ Did you know?
In 1995, Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis granted Malcolm Haynes the task of launching the Festival’s first-ever Dance Tent, which was erected in the Silver Hayes meadow and headlined by Massive Attack, Eat Static and Carl Cox. It then became the Festival’s first permanent electronic music stage.
For The Levels, the Thursday (26th June) bill will see massive sets from Marie Davidson, Palm Trax and PinkPantheress, and a DJ set from Confidence Man. Others confirmed include Goldie (who already self-confirmed back in February) and Notion on Friday (27th June), Skream & Benga on Saturday (28th June), along with DJ sets from Romy and Jungle, as well as appearances from Groove Armada (DJ set), Kilimanjaro and Seth Troxler on Sunday (29th June).
Lonely Hearts Club will see HiTech and Nooriyah on Thursday, followed by sets from Glasto-staple Fatboy Slim, Camelphat, Rudim3ntal on Friday, Biig Pigg, A.G. Cook, Maverick Sabre and Luvcat on Saturday, as well as Sim0ne, Faster Horses and more on Sunday.
Highlights for Assembly include Craig Richards, Spray, The Cause FM, OK Williams and Seb Odyssey, while Firmly Rooted Soundsystem includes appearances from Dubkasm, RSD Yemz, Skinny Girl Diet and Sherelle across the four-day split.
The official statement from Silver Hayes reads: “To think forward is to think positive. Hope is still an action. Small actions can still have a big’ impact,
“Silver Hayes returns with the same message in an ever more chaotic and divided world. We firmly believe we don’t have to accept how things are, a better future is still possible, optimism is still a political act and hope itself is resistance and needed now more than ever.
“When culture wars dominate, and division and polarisation becomes the norm, the time for community, unity and collective resistance becomes vital – we look to foster this at this year’s festival through music, talks and collective joy as an act of resistance. There is far more that unites us than divides us.”
💡 Fun Fact
In 2005, the rise of dance music across the globe and the success of Glastonbury’s Dance Tent led to the area growing in size into the Dance Village. The offering was then expanded to five stages to reflect the full spectrum of dance and electronic music.
In addition to the music stages, and as featured in previous instalments, Silver Hayes will also host various discussions and debates in 2025, with a variety of speakers already confirmed.
As shown in the poster below, these include sports star Gary Lineker, social media personality Danny Price, comedian Munya Chawawa, presenter Anita Rani, fashion designer Saeedah Haque, MP Zarah Sultana and author Zadie Smith. Visit here to find the full line-up.
💡 Fun Fact
2013 saw the Dance Village be renamed to Silver Hayes to further open up the area to more music, creativity and ideas.
More Lineup News
Silver Hayes was the fourth area to reveal its dedicated lineup poster, after Acoustic Stage was the first to do so last month, on the 22nd of March.
Between now and then, West Holts was the third area to reveal its bill for Glastonbury 2025 on the 27th of March, with Field of Avalon before that on the 25th of March.
Although the full Glasto line-up doesn’t tend to get released until the end of May / begging of June, this year, the first main line-up poster was announced on Thursday morning (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.
Meanwhile, Rod Stewart (who, like Young, was announced before the lineup poster revelation) is set for this year’s coveted Sunday afternoon tea-time Legends slot, which, by many, has come to be seen as the fourth headliner slot of the event.
Elsewhere featured on the bill are 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 and more.
With less than three months to go until Glastonbury opens its gates for this summer’s event, we can expect more individual areas and stages to announce their dedicated line-ups over the coming weeks, before the full bill gets revealed sometime at the end of May in the buildup to this year’s Festival.
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.
