The beloved Pilton Party, Glastonbury Festival’s annual ‘afterparty’ fundraiser, is set to return on Friday, September 5, at Worthy Farm, near the usual site of the Woodsies Stage. This special event serves as a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to the villagers, workers, and local residents of Pilton, many of whom experience disruption during the June festival.
Headlining this year’s Pilton Party is none other than RAYE, fresh off her critically acclaimed performance on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage. Her set, which featured a powerful brass band and deeply emotional moments, moved fans both in the crowd and watching worldwide. The 27-year-old singer-songwriter brought audiences to tears with her raw and stirring performance, cementing her status as one of the festival’s standout acts in 2025.
RAYE took to the main stage on Saturday, June 28, performing just before Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts. Now, she returns to Somerset to headline this exclusive local celebration, bringing her compelling presence back to the region.
