“Headlining Glasto has been one of my biggest dreams for so long. Truly can’t believe this!": Olivia Rodrigo, Neil Young and the 1975 confirmed as Glastonbury headliners
Also confirmed are Charli XCX and The Prodigy

It’s early March so the full Glastonbury line-up has been unveiled. Headlining the Pyramid stage this year will be Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo and the 1975.
We already knew about Young’s slot. Around New Year he appeared to pull out claiming that the festival was under the “corporate control” of the BBC. Just two days later he was back on the bill, saying he had received “an error in information” and that Glastonbury was “back on our itinerary.”
Rodrigo and the 1975 would appear to be solid bets. Both are contemporary and come with decent-sized fanbases. Matty Healy, the outspoken singer with the 1975, will no doubt rise to the occasion and create a talking point of some kind – the band have only recently escaped financial responsibility for the closure of a festival in 2023 in Kuala Lumpur after Healy kissed one of his male bandmates on stage (homosexuality is outlawed in Malaysia).
Rodrigo, writing on socials, said "Headlining glasto has been one of my biggest dreams for so long. Truly can’t believe this! So grateful and sooo excited”.
The rest of the line up is as diverse as you’d expect. Whilst Neil Young is on the Pyramid stage on the Saturday, Charli XCX will be headling the Other stage. Loyle Carner headlines that on the Friday whilst the Prodigy – on their first Pilton performance since Keith Flint’s death in 2019 – will do the honours on the Sunday.
As flagged up before Christmas, Rod Stewart is in the Sunday afternoon ‘legends’ slot. Other names confirmed include Biffy Clyro, Alanis Morissette, Busta Rhymes, Self Esteem, Gracie Abrams, Wet Leg, Burning Spear, En Vogue and English Teacher on the Friday.
The following day you can see Deftones, Ezra Collective, Raye, Caribou, Leftfield, Gary Numan and Kneecap and on Sunday there’s Noah Kahan, Jorja Smith, Wolf Alice, the Libertines, AJ Tracey, St Vincent, Black Uhuru and Nile Rodgers and Chic. And if there’s nothing in that long and wildly varied list that even remotely tickles your fancy, then clearly music’s not your thing.

There will be more acts to be confirmed in the coming months. But don’t expect many changes at the top end of the bill, despite the rumours that Chappell Roan or Rihanna might make an appearance.
And best make the most of this year’s Glastonbury, which takes place from June 25 to 29. There will be no festival in 2026. It will be another fallow year, allowing the farm to recover from having over 200,000 people trample over its fields for one weekend. But never mind – it’ll be the men’s football World Cup next year instead...
