As the 2025 Glastonbury Festival drew to a close on Sunday, June 29th, The Prodigy took the stage at the Other Stage for a headline performance that left fans raving. Meanwhile, Olivia Rodrigo captivated audiences on the Pyramid Stage, but many festival-goers agreed that The Prodigy truly stole the show.
With more than 200,000 attendees gathering at Worthy Farm since the festival began on June 25th, anticipation was high to see which artist would deliver the most memorable performance. The Prodigy, hailing from Braintree, Essex, is a legendary electronic music act with over 25 million records sold worldwide.
This Glastonbury appearance marked their first headline spot at the festival since the death of their iconic frontman Keith Flint in 2019. The band’s history with Glastonbury dates back to 1995, with their last appearance in 2009—making this return a highly emotional and much-anticipated event.

After a period of hiatus, The Prodigy announced a comeback in March 2022, including a ten-date UK tour followed by international dates starting in late 2022, as well as plans for a major arena tour set for 2026 across the UK and Ireland.
While Olivia Rodrigo, just 22 years old, made history as one of the youngest solo headliners on the Pyramid Stage, The Prodigy’s loyal fans expressed overwhelming enthusiasm and some frustration on social media that the band was not given the Pyramid Stage headline slot.
Fan reactions included: “Just an unbelievable set from @the_prodigy at #Glastonbury2025 — they should have been on the Pyramid Stage,” and “The Prodigy smashing Glastonbury! Should be closing on the Pyramid Stage!”
Many praised the band’s raw energy and the legacy of Keith Flint, with one fan noting, “The Prodigy are actually insane, possibly the best thing all weekend. How incredible is Leo’s drumming? Absolutely spectacular!”
Others declared, “This set is pure power. Even though Keith isn’t here, his spirit lives on through the music. Like Oasis at Knebworth, The Prodigy prove they remain the best band on any lineup.”
Clearly, The Prodigy’s Glastonbury performance resonated deeply with fans, reaffirming their status as one of the most electrifying live acts in music.
