Beyond the headline acts, breakout stars such as Wunderhorse, CMAT, Beabadoobie, and English Teacher impressed crowds, gaining new fans with their standout performances. The surprise “secret” band, Pulp, thrilled attendees on Saturday afternoon, while returning legends like The Libertines, Supergrass, Weezer, Shed Seven, and Rod Stewart (who played the iconic legends teatime slot) added to the festival’s rich musical tapestry.
However, Glastonbury 2025 also sparked debate. Punk duo Bob Vylan stirred controversy—and sparked scrutiny of the BBC—by leading anti-IDF chants during their live-streamed set. Shortly afterward, Irish group Kneecap took the stage, despite the BBC deciding not to broadcast their performance live. They responded with a bold, expletive-laden critique of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who had previously questioned their right to perform at the festival.
Glastonbury’s charm lies in its diversity, offering every visitor something unique. From the quirky Carhenge made of 24 vintage cars to Arcadia’s towering Dragonfly statue, and Kidzfield’s engaging children’s entertainment, there’s an experience for all ages. West Holts attracted world music fans with its eclectic sounds and global food stalls. Meanwhile, The Park invited visitors to ascend the Ribbon Tower for sweeping views—and The Green Fields offered a serene retreat from the festival’s energetic pulse.
The festival has long been a platform for emerging talent, with numerous artists discovered on the BBC Introducing stage, while the Acoustic Stage provided intimate settings for fans to connect deeply with the music.
Even as the main events ended each night, the celebrations continued well into the early hours at thrilling late-night venues like Shangri-La, The Common, Unfairground, and Block9.
Glastonbury 2025 was a truly unforgettable event, packed with diverse experiences that resonate long after the last note is played. What moments will you remember?
