Glastonbury Festival Fans Warned: Glitter Now Banned in New Dress Code Rule

As thousands gear up for this year’s Glastonbury Festival at Worthy Farm, fans are being reminded about an important yet often overlooked dress code update: glitter is completely banned.

Once a staple of Glastonbury’s vibrant and expressive fashion, glitter—whether biodegradable or not—is no longer allowed on site. The festival’s official packing guide first introduced restrictions in 2023, permitting only biodegradable glitter as a compromise to protect the environment. However, starting in 2024, the rules tightened significantly.

Organisers explicitly prohibit any form of glitter, citing that even biodegradable glitter breaks down into micro-plastics and harms the environment unless it undergoes heat treatment. This rule was emphasized again in the latest packing instructions released for 2025, urging attendees to avoid body glitter altogether.

Despite these clear guidelines, some festival-goers remain unaware. A recent discussion on social media revealed confusion, with attendees seeking alternatives to sparkle their faces and hair. Experienced fans quickly advised opting for safer, eco-friendly decorations such as temporary tattoos, dried flowers, or traditional face paint instead of glitter.

This ban aligns with Glastonbury’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Alongside these fashion considerations, the official packing advice continues to recommend practical clothing items like waterproof jackets, sturdy footwear, and hats to prepare for the unpredictable British weather.

In summary, Glastonbury 2025 encourages fans to embrace creativity without glitter, helping keep the festival grounds clean and eco-friendly for years to come.
