West Holts is the third area to reveal its dedicated lineup for this year’s Glastonbury Festival — including headliners Maribou State, Doechii and Overmono.
Following its forced cancellation in 2020 and 2021 due to the worldwide pandemic, the legendary event returned for three consecutive years in 2022, 2023 and 2024, and will once again be back this summer between 25th and 29th June [2025], ahead of a scheduled fallow year in 2026.
Announcing the news via their social channels this morning (Thursday, 27th March) at 10:01am, Glastonbury officials said: “We’re excited to reveal the West Holts line-up poster for Glastonbury 2025, bringing you a multinational selection of artists spanning hip hop, soul, dance, reggae, Afro, psyche & jazz”.
The individual area lineup poster (shown below) lists 24 acts for the ever-expanding Glastonbury 2025 bill, including Maribou State, who will headline West Holts on Friday (27 June), following sets from Badbadnotgood, Denzel Curry, Glass Beams, Corto.Alto, En Vogue, Vieux Farka Touré, and Ca7riel & Paco Amorso.
Saturday night will see Grammy-winning rapper Doechii make her highly anticipated Glasto debut by taking to the West Holts stage, before sets from Kneecap, Yussef Dayes, Bob Vylan, Nilüfer Yanya, Amaarae, and Infinity Song.
Electronic duo Overmono will then close out West Holts with a headline performance on Sunday, with Parcels, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Goat being among the acts scheduled to share the stage that day.
Formerly known as the Jazz World Stage, The West Holts Stage made its debut at the 2010 edition of Glastonbury and is now one of the major venues at the Festival. Its name is derived from Worthy Farm’s early dairy days and refers to a “halt” or a gate where cows could cross the railway line.
Along with its vibrant vibe, famous flags and rich food stalls, West Holts is described as being “the outernational rhythm hub of Glastonbury, taking you on a journey from spiritual jazz and neo soul through cosmic disco, dance queen divas, breakbeat culture, afrofunk, reggae, hip hop, psychedelia and music that defies any categorisation at all.”
Accompanying the announcement, West Holts organisers also share a curated West Holts artist mix, which you can now listen to in the link below.
More Lineup News
West Holts was the third stage to reveal its lineup, after Field of Avalon and the Acoustic Stage did so earlier in the month.
Although the full Glasto line-up doesn’t tend to get released until the end of May, 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.
