description: "It is clear that errors were made both in the lead-up to and during Bob Vylan’s appearance."
encoded: The BBC has released a new statement after the broadcasting of punk group Bob Vylan's performance at Glastonbury Festival this past weekend, setting out some of the changes that the broadcaster is making in the wake of the controversy. In the set, the group's singer, Bobby Vylan, led chants of "death to the IDF" (referring to the Israel Defence Forces) and also used the phrase "from the river to the sea, Palestine must be, will be, free". Today's statement from the BBC reads: "We fully understand the strength of feeling regarding Bob Vylan’s live appearance at Glastonbury on the BBC. We deeply regret that such offensive and deplorable behaviour appeared on the BBC and want to apologise to our viewers and listeners and in particular the Jewish community. We are also unequivocal that there can be no place for antisemitism at, or on, the BBC. "It is clear that errors were made both in the lead-up to and during Bob Vylan’s appearance. We think it’s important to set out some of the detail around the streaming of this performance." The statement goes on to state that Bob Vylan were deemed to be "high risk" following a risk assessment process that is applied to all Glastonbury acts, with it being deemed suitable for Bob Vylan's set to be live streamed "with appropriate mitigations". "Prior to Glastonbury, a decision was taken that compliance risks could be mitigated in real time on the live stream – through the use of language or content warnings - without the need for a delay," it added. "This was clearly not the case. "During the performance, the livestream was monitored in line with the agreed compliance protocols and a number of issues were escalated. Warnings appeared on the stream on two occasions and the editorial team took the decision not to cut the feed. This was an error." The statement then outlines that BBC director-general Tim Davie was "made aware of what had happened and instructed the team that none of the performance should feature in further coverage". "…

description: Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called on the BBC to explain how the scenes came to be broadcast.
encoded: The BBC has issued a statement after it became subject to criticism for broadcasting a highly controversial Glastonbury performance by punk group Bob Vylan. During the performance in question, which took place Saturday 28th June, the group's singer, Bobby Vylan, led chants of "death to the IDF", referring to the Israel Defence Forces, and used the controversial slogan "from the river to the sea, Palestine must be, will be, free". Following the set, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said in a statement that "there is no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech" and that "the BBC needs to explain how these scenes came to be broadcast". In a statement responding to the issue over the weekend, a BBC spokesperson said: "Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan’s set were deeply offensive. "During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand." On Monday 30th June, the BBC released an additional statement, saying: "Millions of people tuned in to enjoy Glastonbury this weekend across the BBC's output but one performance within our live streams included comments that were deeply offensive. The BBC respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence. "The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves. We welcome Glastonbury’s condemnation of the performance. "The performance was part of a live stream of the West Holts stage on BBC iPlayer. The judgment on Saturday to issue a warning on screen while streaming online was in line with our editorial guidelines. "In addition, we took the decision not to make the performance available on demand. The team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen. "In light of this weekend, w…

description: Survive was released on Friday morning – just before the Scottish star made his Glastonbury comeback with a surprise set
encoded: Lewis Capaldi looks set to hit the top of the UK Charts after his triumphant return at Glastonbury. The Scottish singer, 28, marked his comeback to music with a surprise set on the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm on Friday (27th June 2025), two years since a flare-up of his Tourette's Syndrome at the festival left him unable to complete a song. Immediately following his 2023 appearance, where fans stepped in and sang Someone You Loved for him in a show of support, Lewis opted to take time away from the spotlight to focus on his mental health. On Friday, new single Survive was released as a surprise to fans, with the star taking to the stage at 4.55 pm, in a slot that until that morning had been marked simply 'Secret Set' on the line-up. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/06/GettyImages-2222470926-5d954d8.jpg" width="4525" height="3016" alt="GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND - JUNE 27: Lewis Capaldi performs during day three of Glastonbury festival 2025 at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 27, 2025 in Glastonbury, England.

If he succeeds, it will be the singer's sixth number one single, with his hit Someone You Loved also seeing a spike in interest, currently poised to return to the UK Top 40 at number 44. As it stands, Dior by MK feat. Crystal is set for No.2, while Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild is coming in at No.3. The official chart ranking will be conf…

description: Charli was riding high after her Glastonbury headline slot on the Other Stage, and had words to say to her critics.
encoded: Charli xcx has hit back at critics of her Glastonbury 2025 set after taking to the stage on Saturday night (28th June 2025). The 360 singer appeared as the headliner for The Other Stage, and proved to be so in-demand that access to the field had to be closed off ahead of the performance. In her 90-minute set, Charli gave it her all with a high-energy performance of a string of hits, including Guess, Girl So Confusing, and I Don't Care, with the stage being set alight by strobe lights before she writhed in a manufactured downpour. The British star also appeared to mark something of a close to her "Brat Era" by setting fire to her Brat curtain backdrop ahead of her performance of Von Dutch, with fellow pop star Gracie Abrams appearing as 'the Apple dancer'. However, after reading online that some watching from home weren't pleased with her use of autotune, backing track, and vocal manipulation software, Charli responded to the criticism on what constitutes good art. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/06/GettyImages-2222663949-da6b9bc.jpg" width="3188" height="2122" alt="GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND - JUNE 28: Charli XCX performs during day four of Glastonbury festival 2025 at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 28, 2025 in Glastonbury, England.

description: The event organisers have posted advice for the festival-goers.
encoded: Glastonbury Festival organisers have advised attendees to make their way home tonight (29th June 2025) if possible, as Monday's weather is set to be a scorcher. With a heatwave keeping Worthy Farm hot this weekend, the team behind the festival has been encouraging people to stay hydrated, with increased water access to help assist this. However, with tomorrow's (Monday 30th June 2025) weather set to hit 31 degrees in some areas of the UK, the team has released a message via the Glastonbury app encouraging people to head home tonight if they can to avoid overcrowding and overheating in tomorrow's sun. They've made multiple suggestions, including heading home on Sunday night if possible, or at least packing up cars so they can exit swiftly in the morning. Further advice was posted on the site's X (formerly Twitter) page, with the team listing ways in which people can stay safe in the sun if revellers are leaving by car or public transport. View oEmbed on the source website Among their advice, the festival organisers issued tailored advice to both those driving away from the festival and those who were departing Worthy Farm via public transport. In addition to providing tips on staying hydrated and cool in the heat, they added: "Get Travel Updates from Worthy FM on the app & 87.7FM and from @TravelSomerset on Twitter". For those travelling away on public transport, the advice notes for visitors to follow the correct queues and make sure they are respectful to staff. However, as well as looking out for guests' own wellbeing, it suggests to keep an eye on those they are travelling with, adding: "Keep an eye on you friends - if you / they feel faint, seek help from stewards". <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/06/GettyImages-2222636064-f2081e1.jpg" width="6192" height="4128" alt="GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND - JUNE 28: General view of the crowd at the main stage during day four of Glastonbury festival 2025 at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 28, …

description: The massive annual festival will not be back for 2026 and here's why
encoded: Glastonbury Festival 2025 may have been the music event of the year, but 2026 is going to be very quiet at Worthy Farm. Emily Eavis, the organiser of the weekender, has announced that 2026 will be a "fallow year", meaning the is an annual music pilgrimage for thousands will be rested and back in style in 2027. As the event closes out for 2025 in the midst of a heatwave, Eavis and the team have explained why the fallow years are so important to both the site and the community around it. So, with the hiatus upon us, here's why the festival is taking a break in 2026. Why is Glastonbury Festival not returning in 2026? <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/06/GettyImages-2222459346-ea4b616.jpg" width="5735" height="3823" alt="GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND - JUNE 27: Crowds of festival-goers fill the pathways during day three of Glastonbury festival 2025 at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 27, 2025 in Glastonbury, England.

(Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images)" title="Glastonbury Festival 2025 - Day Three" /> Emily Eavis confirmed back in June 2024 that 2026 will be a "fallow year" at Worthy Farm, where the annual festival is held. Fallow years are an agricultural practice, and a planned break that allows the farmland to grow uninterrupted. It gives the ground time to replenish the nutrients in the soil and for grass to grow for cattle grazing. Appearing on BBC's Sidetracked podcast, Emily explained to Annie Mac and Nick Grimshaw that the farm needs time to recover. "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," she said. "I think it’s important,…

description: The British icon took to the stage for the Legends slot and brought out extra special guests
encoded: Sir Rod Stewart took to Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage on Sunday (29th June 2025) for his place in the Legends slot – and made sure to bring out some icons with him. The 80-year-old rocker had promised before taking to the stage that his set would be one to remember, even spending over £100,000 of his own money to make sure he had everything he needed to make it perfect. Taking to the stage, Sir Rod brought with him a 12-piece band, including multiple female backing singers who would perform in his stead while he made multiple wardrobe changes. Starting off in a black and gold suit with a white ruffled shirt, Sir Rod later switched into a hot pink suit, bringing out his first special guest, Simply Red star Mick Hucknall. The singer, whom Sir Rod called "Mickey Boy", joined him on stage for a performance of If You Don't Know Me By Now – which at one point left Sir Rod stunned to silence as he listened to the crowd sing back to him. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/06/GettyImages-2222768922-c7a627f.jpg" width="7045" height="4697" alt="Rod Stewart in a pink suit and Mick Hucknall in a blue t-shirt and white trousers perform on The Pyramid Stage during day five of Glastonbury festival 2025 at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 29, 2025 in Glastonbury, England" title="Glastonbury Festival 2025 - Day Five" /> During this part of the set, Sir Rod also paid tribute to Glastonbury founder sIR Michael Eavis, marking his 90th birthday four months early and thanking him for his role in the creation of the festival. As Michael was brought out on stage in a wheelchair, Rod ran over and hugged him, before dedicating his hit song I Don't Wanna Talk About It to him. As promised, Rolling Stones icon Ronnie Wood – Rod's former bandmate in the band, Faces – later joined him on stage. Together, they performed the band's track Stay With Me, pulling faces at each other as they played. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/…

description: The popstar headlined The Other Stage with a typically explosive set.
encoded: Glastonbury Festival offered up a very memorable Saturday for the Worthy Farm crowd yesterday (28th June) – with a surprise set from Pulp and Neil Young's Pyramid Stage headline slot amongst the highlights on offer for the thousands of revellers. But arguably the most hotly-anticipated act of the night was Charli xcx – who headlined Glastonbury's The Other Stage to massive crowds – and it's safe to say the Brat star didn't disappoint her fans with an explosive set. The singer opened her set by literally burning down a huge flag bearing the word 'brat' and went on to play several of the album's most popular tracks, including Von dutch, 360 and Girl, so confusing. Of course, the hit song Apple – which typically sees Charli choose a fan from the crowd to be the designated 'Apple girl' and perform the song's viral dance routine – also featured in the setlist, and fans were surprised to see fellow pop-star Gracie Abrams chosen for the role. "I love you so much, girl," Charli said after Abrams had performed the iconic dance. View oEmbed on the source website At the end of the headline slot – as has been the case at her other recent festival sets – text flashed up on big screens either side of the stage to thank fans and declare: "I think you all have proven to me that Brat is forever." The next message read: "I don’t know who I am if it’s over.” Brat – the star's sixth album – was released in June 2024 and quickly became a major cultural phenomenon, kicking off Brat summer and going on to win a number of awards including three Grammys.

description: Here's who will be taking to the stage across the biggest weekend of the musical year.
encoded: Festivalgoers at Glastonbury 2025 were treated to a another very memorable day on Saturday, with a huge array of sets from the likes of Neil Young, Charli xcx, Raye, Kneecap and Pulp – the latter of whom were unmasked as the mystery band Patchwork. The bad news is that this year's festival is almost at an end, but the great news is that there are still several hugely exciting sets to look forward to on Sunday before things wrap up – with the day's packed schedule culminating in a headline set from Olivia Rodrigo. Of course, Sunday is also traditionally the day of the iconic Legends slot on the Pyramid Stage and this year it is the turn of Sir Rod Stewart to roll back the years and deliver a set of his greatest hits. Meanwhile, other big-name highlights on Sunday include sets from Nile Rodgers & Chic, The Prodigy, St Vincent, Jorja Smith and Sam Ryder among many, many others – so the huge Worthy Farm crowd certainly can't complain about a lack of variety. With the sun shining on the festival this weekend, it looks like it really will be one to remember, ahead of the already announced fallow year in 2026. Here's who will be appearing at Festival this year. Glastonbury 2025 line-up: Confirmed artists performing this year Here's the line-up for every stage at the festival this weekend, so you know where to find your favourite acts and when.

But sadly all good things must come to an end and today marks the last day of this year's edition ahead of an already announced fallow year in 2026.

description: As Worthy Farm closes out another jam-packed year, here's who you should be checking out (and where to find them).
encoded: Glastonbury Festival has been a lot of fun, but now it's time to wind down and say goodbye to Worthy Farm once again. But the team are making sure they're going out with one hell of a party - even with the hot summer sun resulting in organisers encouraging people to go home in the early hours of the morning in order to avoid Monday's heatwave. As the beloved festival prepares to take a "rested" year, you'll now have to wait until 2027 for it to come back – but at least we still have some special performances to look forward to and remember the festival by. From Rod Stewart taking the Legends slot to pop princess Olivia Rodrigo taking to the headline stage to close the weekend out, there is truly something for everyone. And we're here to make sure you see everyone you want, with a full list of timings and who will be performing. Here's what you need to know. What are the must-see Glastonbury sets on Sunday 29th June? Cymande (West Holts Stage, 2pm) Ahead of the festival, Craig Charles told Radio Times: "My must-watch act at Glastonbury 2025 is Cymande. They were Britain’s undiscovered supergroup. They toured extensively with Al Green in the 1970s and should have been as big as Earth Wind and Fire. "Songs like Brothers on the Slide and Bra are essential listening for anyone into groovy music and good time vibes. They performed a live session on my 6 Music show earlier this year and tore the roof off." Rod Stewart (Pyramid Stage, 3:45pm) After a string of illnesses, Rod Stewart is back with force and taking the Legends slot this Sunday evening, 23 years since he last made an appearance at the festival. The Maggie May and Do Ya Think I'm Sexy singer has decades of classics locked and loaded – with so much planned that he was even given an extended run time. Speaking to Radio Times, he said: "It’s difficult because they only gave me an hour-and-a-quarter slot. So I begged them: can I do another 15 minutes? Because usually I play for two hours. "It means that there’s a lo…

description: Speculation had been rife over the mystery band.
encoded: This year's edition of Glastonbury Festival has already provided its fair share of talking points – but one topic in particular has been dominating the conversation: who exactly is Patchwork? While most of the acts playing on the iconic Pyramid Stage – including Neil Young, The 1975 and Olivia Rodrigo – will have been instantly familiar to fans, an unheard-of band called Patchwork have been scheduled in a prime slot on Saturday at 6:15pm. Naturally, it didn't take long for everyone to clock that this will be one of the festival's famous mystery sets. A similarly unheard-of band called The Churnups listed for the Pyramid Stage in 2023 turned out to be the Foo Fighters, while other acts, including Pulp, Kasabian, Jack White and The Killers, have previously performed secret sets in the past. There had been a lot of rumours around who this mystery act could be, with everyone from Haim to Harry Styles having previously been linked by those searching for clues. However, now the answer has finally been revealed. Read on for all the latest theories about the mystery Glastonbury 2025 act. Who are Patchwork? Glastonbury 2024 mystery act finally confirmed in Pyramid Stage performance Patchwork was finally confirmed to be the British rock band Pulp. The British rock band, fronted by Jarvis Cocker, are icons of the 1990s Britpop movement and released their eighth studio album, their first in 24 years, earlier this month, titled More. More went straight to number one in the UK Album Charts and has been met with critical acclaim. On returning to a creative space with the rest of the band, Cocker told NME earlier this month: "As soon as we tried it, it was surprisingly easy. When you play music with other people, you build up a weird and intimate relationship, but you’re not really saying owt to each other. You become an organism with no one really in control of it. That’s a nice feeling. You produce something that you wouldn’t be capable of doing on your own." Check out more of ou…

encoded: With Glastonbury 2025 currently ongoing, festival-goers have already been treated to all manner of memorable sets – with plenty more to follow over the rest of the weekend. Of course, millions of music fans who weren't able to secure tickets will be watching all the action from the comfort of their own home this year, with the BBC offering exclusive coverage of the event on TV and radio. Fans had initially been left a little confused when they realised that headliner Neil Young was absent from the BBC's coverage schedule published on Tuesday, with the BBC telling RadioTimes.com that its "schedules and plans continue to be finalised, right up to and during the festival". Later, BBC Breakfast's entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson then suggested that Young's set will not air. In a piece airing on Wednesday 25th June, he said: "I asked Emily Eavis, 'What was going on?', and she says she does not believe that Neil Young’s set will be broadcast by the BBC. "There’s been all kinds of backstage wrangling and negotiations, but as things currently stand, Neil Young’s headline set on Saturday night will not be broadcast by the BBC." But luckily for fans, there has been a last minute U-turn and Young's set will air after all. Read on for everything you need to know. Will Neil Young's Glastonbury set be on TV?

The 30-year-old star has been building up a following for years, becoming nominated for three BRIT Awards throughout his career to date.

description: The entertainer had been considered a potential secret act for the festival this year.
encoded: Robbie Williams has shut down speculation that he is set to make a surprise appearance at the Glastonbury Festival this year. As the annual music festival kicks off at Worthy Farm this year, Robbie Williams was the focus of speculation that he could be performing in one of the many open 'TBA' slots left open on the line-up. However, he's now cleared things up, revealing on his Instagram Stories: "I'm not performing this year. If you are, go and see The 1975, Busta Rhymes, Self Esteem, Charli XCX, Reverend and The Makers." The iconic singer is currently on tour in Europe, with his new album Britpop paying homage to his time backstage at Glastonbury 30 years ago, where he famously partied with Oasis in a red Adidas jumpsuit with bleached blonde hair and a missing tooth. As Glastonbury's performances kicked off on Friday (27th June 2025), Robbie sparked speculation, posting a memorial plaque - seemingly from Worthy Farm - commemorating the moment on Instagram. The plaque read: "1995. Robbie Williams entered this area without accreditation, authorisation or alignment with prevailing taste. "His presence was uninvited, unofficial and ultimately inevitable." He then followed it with a picture of a painted Glastonbury sign, which only added to fan theories. In 1995, shortly after leaving Take That, Robbie turned up at Glastonbury to join in the party, grabbing pictures with Liam Gallagher and being snapped snarling at the camera with one of his front teeth missing. That picture has now been used for the front of his Britpop album, being shown turned into a work of art in a museum. Sharing the image four weeks ago on Instagram, Robbie posted a long statement about his time at the festival, describing the "militant" attitude to music at the time and saying he felt like he didn't belong there. "To the people looking on, it must’ve been like seeing your headmaster cutting his lawn," he wrote in part. "A person, an image, completely out of place. Out of context. Out of reason."…

The Scottish singer hasn't performed on stage since his last performance at the Worthy Farm festival two years ago, when he struggled on stage due to a flare-up of his Tourette's Syndrome. Lewis announced shortly after the set that he would be "taking time away for his mental health" before removing himself from the spotlight for two years. But on Friday, in a full circle moment marking his return to music, Lewis appeared on stage to thousands of fans, with many watching from home, saying that the performance left them in tears. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/06/GettyImages-2222470975-eded327.jpg" width="4441" height="2956" alt="GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND - JUNE 27: Lewis Capaldi performs during day three of Glastonbury festival 2025 at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 27, 2025 in Glastonbury, England.

Tourette's, a neurological condition most defined by involuntary ‘tics’ including rapid movements or verbal outbursts, can also render someone unable to speak, which is what happened to Lewis mid-performance during his 2023 set.

The Scottish band took to the Other Stage on Friday afternoon and announced they were going to bring out someone special. Lead singer Alex Kapranos amped up the audience, telling the crowd they would be bringing out an "Italian heritage Glaswegian that goes by the name of Capaldi". The message was a nod to fellow Scot Lewis Capaldi, who was confirmed to be taking to the Pyramid stage for his first performance in two years. "Well, Glastonbury, it gives me great joy to say that these rumours are true," Alex declared. "And he's here with us tonight. The original Capaldi – Peter Capaldi!" The crowd went wild as the Doctor Who star then took to the stage in a black suit with a red shirt and sunglasses to perform their smash hit Take Me Out. As Peter's name was blasted across the backstage screen, Alex began singing with Peter, later joining in for the crowd-pleasing banger. Channelling his inner rock star, Capaldi strutted across the stage and even shook off an awkward technical difficulty when his microphone screeched out. Peter Capaldi is just one of dozens of surprises set to take place across the weekend, with multiple stars saying they will be bringing out surprise guests throughout their performances. Glastonbury also has over 40 "TBA" slots to be filled with secret sets during the weekend's run, with Lorde becoming the first as she opened the Woodsies stage on Friday morning. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/06/GettyImages-2222471354-5717a79.jpg" width="4535" height="3023" alt="GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND - JUNE 27: Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand performs on the Other stage during day three of Glastonbury festival 2025 at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 27, 2025 in Glastonbury, England.

"I really suffer from this thing of not feeling my own power... and the remix just started me up and I was like, 'No, no, people are listening and they care and your words carry real weight.'" She also told the Sydney Morning Herald of the new album: "Going into this album, I had the sense that something very raw and close to the bone was wanting to come out of me.

description: As Sir Rod limbers up for the Legends slot at Glastonbury, he talks bling, booze, bouffants – and why it's costing him £300,000 to play the Pyramid Stage!
encoded: Welcome to our annual trip to the Glastonbury Festival. Or should that be, in true rock gig style, "Hello, Great Britain! How yer doing?" In this week's Radio Times magazine, we catch up with he man who's performing in the Legends slot: step forward Sir Roderick Stewart, who's still rocking at 80. Not only that, he talks about how he still likes a drink and can run 100 metres in 19 seconds! On his own private track, naturally. It's a great interview with the lad from Archway, north London, who used to deliver Radio Times on his paper round and then went on to become a rock god (surely there's got to be a connection of some sort?).

Rod Stewart on Glastonbury 2025's legends slot – and why he's turned his back on Donald Trump

description: The Glastonbury headliner chats exclusively to Radio Times.
encoded: This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. History records that the last time Sir Rod Stewart played Glastonbury – headlining the main Pyramid Stage in 2002 – he wore a boxy white suit jacket, black dress trousers, sensible dress shoes, plain white shirt and a natty yellow striped tie that was loosely knotted just so. “Yeah, won’t be doing that again,” sniffs the man sitting in front of me. The occupant of the Legends slot at the world’s greatest music festival this year is dressed in a checked white two-piece suit, box-fresh baseball boots, snakeskin belt and statement shirt emblazoned with the image of a bird in a tree. It’s unbuttoned to the nipples, the better to show off a shiny piece of jewellery with the crest of his football team, Celtic. I know he loves the club and, 60 years and 120 million record sales into his career, he’s not short of a bob or two, so is that custom-made bling? “Oh yeah!” he beams with a proud pout. “Diamonds and gold, mate. I don’t mess about!” Meanwhile, the Rod barnet remains a magnificent construction, an age- and gravity-defying explosion of canary yellow. I ask if his dad had hair like that, meaning as thick and fulsome, but Rod thinks I’m referring to the rock ’n’ roll nature of his follicles. “No, he didn’t! He was a f***ing plumber! No, I started this haircut... well, me and Ronnie both started it together,” he says of old mucker and Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, who sports a similar bird’s-nest thatch. As for this year’s Glasto clobber? “I’m not sure yet, but I’ve got the band all decked out in proper outfits. They all wear white jackets and black ties, and the girls wear sequins. It’s a bit more Las Vegas than it’s been before because, obviously, I’m doing my residency,” he says of his long-running engagement in Sin City’s Caesars Palace. “I’m up to 217 shows, which is amazing.” Breaking down his 12-piece band, half of them women, the Grammy- and Brit-winning man knighted in 2016 for services to music and ch…

description: A pretty penny.
encoded: As Sir Rod Stewart prepares to perform at Glastonbury Festival 2025, the legendary rocker has revealed quite how much it's going to cost him. Twenty-three years after he last took to the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm, Stewart is set for a return to Glastonbury in this year's Legends slot. Discussing the festival, among other things, in this week's Radio Times magazine, Stewart revealed that his return to the iconic event is going to set him back a whopping £300,000. Stewart has been on tour in the US, a longstanding commitment, meaning he, his crew, and all their equipment have been across the Atlantic, something which raised logistical issues regarding his upcoming Glasto appearance. "It was about eight months ago when I was asked to do it," he explains, "maybe a little longer. But it didn't fit with my schedule because I've got to bring everybody back from America." He goes on to explain the cost of shipping the equipment and staging, stating: "It's going to cost me £300,000 to do it and they only pay you about 120,000 quid. So it's going to cost me." Fortunately, the cost is something Sir Rod is more than willing to bear, considering the honour of performing in the Legends slot, one shared by so many iconic musicians before him – it "doesn't matter" if he has to take a hit. Stewart's Legends slot will take place on the final day of the festival, Sunday 29th June, where he'll take to the Pyramid Stage in the early evening. This year's festival is set to be headlined by The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo, marking a rather wide spectrum of music to enjoy.

encoded: Glastonbury Festival 2025 is fast approaching, and now we know the full timetable – and there's plenty to look forward to. The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo are headlining the Pyramid stage across the three-day event, while Rod Stewart is taking the Legends slot, although the musician's appearance at the festival was recently thrown into doubt after he shared a health update. The singer was expected to perform in Las Vegas on 7th June but took to social media hours before to share the news that he is continuing "to recover" from flu. "I have to cancel and reschedule my next six concerts in June as I continue to recover from the flu," he wrote in a statement posted on Instagram. "So sorry, my friends. I'm devastated and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience to my fans. I'll be back on stage and we'll see you soon - Sir Rod." The cancelled shows include performances on 7th, 8th and 10th June at The Colosseum Theater as well as 14th June at Lake Tahoe. The star also cancelled concerts earlier in June, including on 1st and 5th June. "I’m awfully sorry to have to cancel my show June 5th at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace," he wrote at the time. "My doctor ordered a bit more rest while I recover from the flu. Thanks for your love and understanding." While there might be uncertainty around Stewart's appearance, there are also performances from stars including Doechii, Alanis Morissette, Biffy Clyro and The Prodigy to look forward to. There's also an unheard-of band called Patchwork set to perform on the main Pyramid Stage on the Saturday night, which is a fake name for a mystery guest – just as a similarly unheard-of band called The Churnips was listed for the Pyramid Stage in 2023 and turned out to be the Foo Fighters. Wondering when the event is set to take place and whether you can still get hold of tickets, even if you missed out on initial sale? Read on for all the crucial information about Glastonbury 2025.

encoded: Last November, like hundreds of thousands of other hopefuls, we lit our 'good luck' incense, gathered around the living room coffee table with two devices each, and tried our luck at securing Glastonbury tickets. The group chat was aglow with notifications of our friends getting two then three then four bars in the queue, and even one friend getting through to the payment page, only to narrowly miss out on securing tickets when their OTP timed-out. Needless to say, we didn't get our hands on Glastonbury festival tickets then, and we didn't in April's re-sale either. If you're reading this article, we can only assume you missed out on Glastonbury tickets, too. But, never fear our music-loving friends!

Glastonbury 2025 confirms Rod Stewart for festival's Legends slot

description: Stewart returns to the iconic festival 23 years after his last appearance.
encoded: Living up to the Glastonbury Sunday Legends slot in name and nature, it's now been confirmed that Rod Stewart is set to headline the iconic British festival. Although Stewart had previously announced that he would stop playing "large-scale world tours" at the end of 2025, Stewart has said that he is "proud, ready and more than able to pleasure and titillate my friends at Glastonbury". The Sunday slot at Glastonbury is certainly one of the most anticipated of the entire festival, and draws one of the largest crowds. But of course, it is not Stewart's first rodeo at Glastonbury, as he previously headlined the festival in 2002. At the time, Stewart headlined alongside the likes of Coldplay, Stereophonics, The White Stripes and more. It's safe to say that plenty has changed since Stewart last performed at Glastonbury, with tickets to the festival at the time costing less than £100. Today, all tickets to Glastonbruy 2025 have sold out, and cost £373.50 plus a £5 booking fee. Stewart is the first act to be announced for Glastonbury 2025 and, at the age of 79, is one of the oldest artists to perform a major set there. Stewart is not the oldest, though, with Paul McCartney having headlined Glastonbury in 2022 right after his 80th birthday. Similarly, Burt Bacharach performed on the Pyramid stage in 2015 aged 87.

He already has tours lined up for Europe and North America next year, but did say just last week that he will be retiring from major world tours. He said: "I love what I do, and I do what I love. I’m fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 metres in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79. I’d like to move on t…

encoded: Seventeen are gearing up to make history at Glastonbury 2024 as the first K-pop act to perform at the festival. The 13-member boyband will be performing on the Pyramid Stage on Friday afternoon, where Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA are headlining. But the act may not be so well known in the UK. Wondering who Seventeen are, where they get their band name from, and when they'll be performing at Glastonbury 2024? Read on for everything you need to know. Who are K-pop band Seventeen? Seventeen — comprising members S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, The8, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino — are among the world’s most successful K-pop groups. The band’s name comes from their 13 members, the three units they are divided into — hip-hop, vocals and performance— and the single team they form when they come together. Led by producer and songwriter Woozi, the band released their first EP, 17 Carat, in 2015, which sold about 1,600 copies in its first week. Its title track Adore U reached No. 13 on the Billboard US World Chart. Then, in 2023, Seventeen’s mini-album FML shifted more than 4.55m copies, becoming the most-sold K-pop album in its opening week. FML was also crowned the best-selling album globally in 2023 by IFPI, with 6.4 million copies sold. IFPI also declared Seventeen the world’s second-biggest-selling act of 2023, surpassed only by pop sensation Taylor Swift. When are K-pop band Seventeen performing at Glastonbury Festival 2024? Date and time Seventeen will perform at Glastonbury Festival 2024 on Friday 28th June. You'll be able to catch the band in action from 2:45 pm BST to 3:45 pm BST (10:45 pm KST-11:45 pm KST) on the Pyramid Stage.
