More than 200,000 people expected at Worthy Farm for lineup including Olivia Rodrigo and Irish band Kneecap
The gates to Glastonbury festival have opened for 2025 with more than 200,000 ticket-holders set to descend for a long weekend of performing arts and music.
In what promises to be a politically charged gathering at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, campers can expect a mixed bag of sunshine and rain throughout the week.
The world-renowned festival will see headline performances on its Pyramid stage from the British pop band the 1975, the veteran US singer Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and the American pop star Olivia Rodrigo.
The festival’s organiser, Emily Eavis, and her father, co-founder Sir Michael Eavis, who turns 90 later this year, were counting down and cheering as the festival officially opened its gates on Wednesday with a brass band accompaniment.
