Theatre & Circus has revealed its line-up poster for Glastonbury 2025, after Left Field was the twelfth area to do so a week ago on the 1st of May.
Glastonbury officials took to social media this morning (Wednesday, 7th May) at 10am sharp to announce this year’s line-up for the Theatre & Circus Fields, saying: “Roll up, roll up for the typically fantastic Theatre & Circus line-up for this year’s Festival!”
Packed with hundreds of artists and performers from around the world, these wondrous fields feature everything from circus arts, comedy, and music, to theatre and dance, spoken word and an entertainment spectacle that runs from mid-morning until late at night.
The line-up poster (shown below) features just but a taster of some of the many wonderful acts and attractions that will be gracing this year’s Theatre & Circus fields, in just a few weeks’ time — including Henning Wehn, Brian Bilston, Zoe Lyons, Taskmaster, and many more.
Theatre and Circus takes place over three fields with venues including the Cabaret tent, Circus Big Top, Astrolabe Theatre, and Outside Circus Stage, as well as the Poetry & Words, Mavericks and Sensation Seekers Stage. Additionally, this incredible area also features riser stages with street performers from around the globe and hundreds of walkabout theatre acts roaming from morning until late at night.
In an official statement posted on the Glastonbury Festival website, Theatre & Circus Area Organiser Haggis McLeod shared his excitement of being able to reveal a taster of some of the outstanding acts that will be gracing their stages this year, while inviting all Glasto-goers to come and visit the Fields.
“Some of the old favourites have been deservedly welcomed back, as well as a host of original and exciting performance artist from around the world who are making their Glastonbury debut. Be sure to come over and visit us on the east of site and soak up the atmosphere, enjoy the spectacle and participate in the myriad of mayhem, mirth and magic, that is Theatre and Circus. You won’t be disappointed”, said McLeod.

Latest Lineup
The first announcement line-up poster was revealed earlier this year (6th March), in which it confirmed that headliners The 1975, 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.
Now that the first poster has been revealed, going by previous years, we can expect the full line-up announcement sometime at the end of May / beginning of June, with a string of individual area line-up announcements in between.
As of the time of writing, 12 areas and stages have already announced their dedicated line-up posters for this year’s event, including Left Field, The Glade, Glasto Latino, Woodsies, Kidzfield, Shangri-La, Croissant Neuf, Silver Hayes, West Holts, Field of Avalon, and the Acoustic Stage.
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 last 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.
