Glastonbury Festival is always the biggest musical event on the UK calendar – and 2025 promises to be one not to miss.

Whether it’s going to be pure sunshine or pouring with rain remains to be seen (especially as the festival is known to attract some heavy downpours), but while some are figuring out what to wear, others are still clamouring to get tickets.

Thankfully, here are RadioTimes.com, we have you covered, with everything you need to know about when the event takes place and how you can still get hold of tickets to the event, even if you missed out on initial sale.

But you'll have to be quick, because if you miss the final window of opportunity you'll have to watch the show from home - and you could be in for a long wait if you miss out.

Now the Glastonbury 2025 line-up has been confirmed – with The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo headlining the Pyramid stage across three-day event, Rod Stewart taking the Legends slot and stars including Doechii, Alanis Morissette, Biffy Clyro and The Prodigy making appearances – it’s time to find a way to get to Worthy Farm.

Read on for all the crucial information about Glastonbury 2025.

The 2025 festival will take place from Wednesday 25th to Sunday 29th June at Worthy Farm.

And if you miss out, you could be in for a long wait for it to return as organiser Emily Eavis explained that the event would be rested for 2026 in what's known as a "fallow year".

Speaking on the BBC's Sidetracked podcast in 2024, she said: "We are due a fallow year. The fallow year is important because it gives the land a rest, and it gives the cows a chance to stay out for longer and reclaim their land.

"I think it’s important, I think it gives everybody time to just switch off and the public as well. It is a lot, isn't it? Then you kind of go away for a bit and it feels lovely when you come back. And I think it’s quite good not [to] seem to be cashing in."

It was later officially confirmed on the Glastonbury website, with a note on the Info section reading: "We will be taking our next fallow year in 2026, in order to give the farm, the village and the festival team the traditional year off."

Can you still get tickets for Glastonbury 2025?

Tickets for Glastonbury are notoriously difficult to get hold of, with this year's festival selling out within 38 minutes back in November after the introduction of a divisive new ticket purchasing scheme.

But not all hope is lost, with a resale scheme also in place to purchase tickets that have had to be returned after the buyer failed to complete their payment plans, or had to have them refunded.

Ticket holders that haven't paid the balance owed will have their tickets released, and will be made available via ticket resales at 6pm BST on Thursday April 24th (Ticket + Coach travel options) and 9am BST on Sunday April 27th (General Admission tickets).

The Sunday ticket sale will also include cancelled accommodation options (Worthy View, Sticklinch, Campervan/Caravan passes) from 11am.

Please note you have to be registered for the event beforehand, and you can only buy tickets via SeeTickets here.

Unlike those who bought their tickets in November, you will have to pay the full price of the tickets at time of purchase, which start at £378.50 (including a £5 booking fee per ticket) plus postage and packing at £10.25 per order (£2.75 per order for coach tickets), rather than through a deposit scheme.

A list of coach prices can also be found here – but please note this does not include the price of the ticket.

More information can be found here.

Alternatively there are ways of volunteering for the festival for charities including WaterAid, Greenpeace and Oxfam, but you will have to work a certain number of hours in exchange for access to the festival.

You will have to provide your own transportation and camping equipment, but you will be provided with showers and food throughout the weekend.

You can find more information about the WaterAid, Greenpeace, and Oxfam schemes online and to check the status of applications.
