As music enthusiasts gear up for this year’s Glastonbury Festival, the excitement isn’t just about the headliners like The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo on the Pyramid Stage. Fans have been buzzing about the “biggest up and comers” set to make waves across the various stages at Worthy Farm.
Over on the r/GlastonburyFestival Reddit page, festival-goers shared their picks for the most promising emerging artists. The conversation was lively and many voices echoed similar sentiments about who the future stars of the festival might be.
Leading the discussion was the band Wunderhorse. Having gained momentum after opening for Sam Fender on his UK tour, Jacob Slater’s group is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about acts.

Antony Szmierek also caught attention, with fans recalling his memorable performance on the West Holts stage last year. While some noted occasional inconsistencies in sound mixing, his sets have left a strong impression.
Another band generating buzz is Fat Dog, praised for their electrifying live shows. One attendee recalled their set as “one of the best live acts I’ve seen in a long time,” highlighting the energy and crowd engagement, even during an early afternoon slot.
Several other emerging artists drew recommendations, including Rachel Chinouriri, whose rapid growth has been remarkable, and Alessi Rose, predicted to break through in the coming years. Westside Cowboy, winner of the emerging talent competition, is another act to watch.
Artists like CMAT and Inhaler also featured prominently in the discussions. CMAT’s rise to a Pyramid Stage slot was met with enthusiasm, with fans praising her live performances and steady career growth.
Interestingly, some fans were surprised by the positioning of Brighton-based punk rock group Lambrini Girls. Despite multiple appearances last year and a recent album release, some felt they deserved a higher spot on the bill, suggesting their popularity might be more niche than widely recognized.
With such a vibrant lineup of rising talent, Glastonbury Festival promises not only legendary performances from established artists but also unforgettable moments discovering tomorrow’s biggest music stars.
