Third Glastonbury 2025 (short-range) weather forecast

Welcome back to our string of weather report summaries, as we follow up on our previous forecast summary from last week, and with gates now finally opening to the public this morning for Glastonbury 2025, we can now take a much closer look at the weather.

That said, let us once again point out that even with the Festival being only one day in, these models could still be quite imprecise with regard to the end of the Festival.

According to multiple current weather forecasts, this year’s Festival is set to bask in sunshine and soaring temperatures, especially as the weekend rolls in — but revellers heading to Worthy Farm this week should be prepared for a few early showers.

Looking at both the BBC Weather forecast and festival meteorologist Gavin Partridge‘s breakdown, the overall outlook is dry, warm, and bright — a far cry from the infamous “mud years” of Glastonbury folklore.

“We have had far, far worse Glastonbury Festivals,” said Gavin in his seventh video update. “The weather gods have been pretty kind this year — you’re going to have some very nice weather, especially later on.”

☁️ Early Showers, Then Rising Heat

While scattered showers are expected on Wednesday and again overnight into Thursday, the picture improves quickly heading into the weekend.

“There could be some wet weather around early on,” Partridge said, “but as high pressure builds from the south, it looks like the rain will start to fizzle out through Friday and Saturday.”

Festivalgoers arriving midweek should prepare for warm temperatures from the get-go, with Wednesday seeing highs of 23–25°C (73–77°F). Thursday may start a touch cooler, but by Friday, the mercury is expected to surge again.

☀️ Weekend Sizzle

“As we go into the weekend, it’s looking very warm—possibly even hot,” said Partridge. “Temperatures on Friday and Saturday could climb to 26 or 27°C, which is nudging 80 Fahrenheit.”

The outlook for Sunday remains just as positive, with plenty of sunshine expected as high pressure continues to dominate. “We could see temperatures getting into the upper 20s,” he noted. “27 or 28°C is not out of the question.”

🧳 Heading Home: Hot and Dry

Even the traditionally dreary post-festival pack-up day looks unusually kind. “On Monday the 30th, as people head home, it’s going to be hot. Not quite 90s Fahrenheit in Glastonbury, but maybe touching 30°C — so that’s about 86°F.”

🎪 Glastonbury 2025: Line-Up Recap & Secret Set Buzz

The full Glastonbury 2025 line-up — complete with set times — has officially dropped, and with it, a wave of excitement, speculation, and frenzied planning. Revealed at 10am on Tuesday 3 June via the festival’s social channels, this year’s epic schedule confirms over 3,000 performances across dozens of stages at Worthy Farm, Somerset, from Wednesday 25 to Sunday 29 June — the last edition before the festival’s planned fallow year in 2026.

While headliners The 1975, Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo, and Rod Stewart (in the legendary Sunday teatime slot) top the bill, fans are equally obsessed with what isn’t being revealed. A jaw-dropping 56 slots are marked “TBA”, hinting at a huge run of secret sets, spread across stages and time slots throughout the weekend.

🔍 Secret Set Frenzy
Following the Foo Fighters’ 2023 surprise appearance as “The Churnups,” anticipation around unannounced acts has become a Glasto tradition. This year’s hotly-tipped secret slots include:

🧩 The “Patchwork” Puzzle
Of all the mystery listings, the most cryptic is “Patchwork”, scheduled for the Pyramid Stage on Saturday evening (18:15 – 19:15). Speculation is rife over who’s hiding behind the alias, with the two main rumoured acts being:

• Pulp – Their tour schedule has a Glasto-sized hole, and Candida Doyle recently mentioned patchwork on BBC Radio 2.
• Haim – Their only UK show is the day before in Margate, and clues tied to novels and films named Patchwork fuel fan theories.

🌟 Big Debuts & Clashes
First-timers gracing Worthy Farm include Alanis Morissette, Noah Kahan, Busta Rhymes, Brandi Carlile, and Gary Numan. One notable schedule clash already has fans torn — Doechii’s West Holts headline overlaps with Charli XCX on the Other Stage.

With the countdown on, speculation is part of the Glasto experience — and with many question marks still looming, there’s plenty to keep fans guessing. Keep those eyes peeled, boots ready, and schedules bookmarked — the festival is only just getting started.

📱 Glastonbury 2025 App by Vodafone

Earlier this month, Glastonbury released its 2025 app, powered by Vodafone and “packed full of even more exciting features to help you plan your ultimate Festival experience”.

This year’s headline addition is live location sharing, allowing users to track and reunite with friends across the busy site — whether they’ve snagged a great spot for Dua Lipa at the Pyramid Stage or wandered off for a legendary vegan burger.

Another standout feature is step count tracking, now built into the popular ‘My Highlights’ post-Festival wrap. Festival-goers can compare their steps to see who covered the most ground—or who danced the longest—over the long weekend.

But the innovation doesn’t stop at convenience. Vodafone has tied this new feature to a meaningful initiative: for every average step count logged by attendees, the company will match it with a donation through its everyone.connected campaign — up to a generous 75,000 donations. These contributions will help provide connectivity, devices and digital skills to underserved communities across the UK.

The application, created by Vodafone – and which can be downloaded from both the App Store and Google Play Store – is the only official app for the event and gives music fans the chance to stay connected with the latest live Festival updates, while navigating their way around the 1000-acre site and creating their own personalised line-ups to share and more.

The site build traditionally kicks off with work on the iconic Pyramid Stage, and this year was no different:

🗺️ New 2025 Festival Map Released

On 17th May, the first public version of the Glastonbury 2025 map dropped on the official website, complete with updates and changes for this year’s edition.

Some of the changes include more space for the Other Stage field, which means a scale back for the adjoining Oxylers campsite. Elsewhere, public camping space has decreased in Bushy Ground, South Park 2, and Pennards — unlike Pylon Ground, where it has increased. The reduction has made way for more staff camping in Bushy and South Park 2, as well as expanded family camping in Wicket and Cockmill fields.

🎟️ Ticket Opportunities

The final batch of General Admission tickets for the 2025 Glastonbury Festival sold out in just 19 minutes earlier this year, after going on sale at 9am on Sunday, 27th April.

Keeping with tradition, only pre-registered buyers could access the online sales as part of Glastonbury’s continued drive against ticket touting.

Hundreds of thousands of Glasto-fans were up bright and early, ready at their computer screens in the second of two ticket resales for the chance of buying tickets for Glastonbury 2025 — after tickets completely sold out when they originally went up for sale last November.

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