BBC confirms Glastonbury 2025 "failings" to prompt "accountability" and significant editorial changes
"It is clear that errors were made both in the lead-up to and during Bob Vylan’s appearance."
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". "The team prioritised stopping the performance from featuring on demand. This meant that no downloads of Bob Vylan’s set were available on iPlayer or Sounds. However, the live feed, which was showing subsequent performances from other acts on the same Glastonbury stage, remained up until it was amended shortly after 8pm while teams worked on a technical solution. "Given the failings that have been acknowledged we are taking actions to ensure proper accountability for those found to be responsible for those failings in the live broadcast. We will not comment further on those processes at this time." The statement also maps out immediate changes that have been made to the BBC's process of showing music events, which include now not broadcasting or streaming live any music performances that are deemed to be "high risk", "having on site editorial policy support at major music festivals and events to improve compliance processes and the speed of available advice", as well as "provide more detailed, practical guidance on the threshold for withdrawing a live stream". BBC director-general Davie shared the statement in a message to all BBC staff today, adding: "We are utterly committed to creating an environment where everyone is supported and can do their very best work." As well as the BBC's statement on Bob Vylan's performance, BBC Chair Samir Shah has also apologised in a statement. He said: "This was unquestionably an error of judgement. I was very pleased to note that as soon as this came to the notice of Tim Davie - who was on the Glastonbury site at the time visiting BBC staff - he took immediate action and instructed the team to withdraw the performance from on demand coverage. “The BBC Board met on Tuesday to hear what actions will now be taken. The Executive have agreed to put in place a set of strengthened editorial practices and policies for live music programming. These will be important measures to safeguard future live broadcasts from a failure such as this. “I am satisfied that the Executive is initiating a process to ensure proper accountability for those found to be responsible for the failings in this incident. While it is important that the process is carried out fairly and correctly, it is equally important that the Executive takes decisive action. “The Board fully supports the Director-General and the swift actions taken by him and his team to identify these errors and address them.” Following Bob Vylan's performance at the weekend, Bobby Vylan posted on Instagram to say that he had been "inundated" with messages of "support and hatred", adding: "I said what I said." Earlier this week, Avon and Somerset Police confirmed that it has launched a criminal investigation into the performances by Bob Vylan and fellow performers Kneecap at this year's Glastonbury.

BBC issues statement following Bob Vylan controversy at Glastonbury 2025
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called on the BBC to explain how the scenes came to be broadcast.
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, we will look at our guidance around live events so we can be sure teams are clear on when it is acceptable to keep output on air." Previously, the shadow home secretary, Chris Philp, had said: "By broadcasting [Bob Vylan’s] vile hatred, the BBC appears to have also broken the law. I call on the police to urgently investigate and prosecute." He added: "Our national broadcaster should not be transmitting hateful material designed to incite violence and conflict." Health Secretary Wes Streeting also called Vylan's comments "revolting" when speaking on BBC programme Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg. Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis also shared a statement regarding the performance, saying that "with almost 4,000 performances at Glastonbury 2025, there will inevitably be artists and speakers appearing on our stages whose views we do not share, and a performer's presence here should never be seen as a tacit endorsement of their opinions and beliefs". She continued: "However, we are appalled by the statements made from the West Holts stage by Bob Vylan yesterday. "Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the Festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence." The BBC originally issued a warning that the set included "very strong and discriminatory language", but later removed it from iPlayer entirely.

Lewis Capaldi on course for Number 1 single after Glastonbury 2025 performance
Survive was released on Friday morning – just before the Scottish star made his Glastonbury comeback with a surprise set
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.

In 2026, the festival will take a fallow year, a planned pause to allow the Worthy Farm site time to rest and recover.

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 confirmed and released on Friday, 4th July 2025, but you can listen to Survive below. View oEmbed on the source website Lewis has previously publicly discussed his Tourette's diagnosis in interviews and Netflix documentary How I’m Feeling Now, explaining that the neurological condition leaves him with "tics" including noticeable twitching and involuntary movements. In 2023, during the height of his success, his performance at Glastonbury was derailed when a flare-up left him unable to speak or sing on stage. He later told the crowd: "Glastonbury, I’m really sorry. I’m a bit annoyed with myself." In a statement shortly afterwards, Lewis announced a hiatus from touring and performing, saying he needed to focus on his mental health in order to get back to his best. As he took to the stage on Friday, Lewis emotionally told the crowd: "I’m not going to say much up here as I’ll start crying. I’ll be quick, the last three years haven’t been the best. "This has been my goal, to get back here, doing this." He later posted a message on X/Twitter, saying: "Glastonbury it’s so incredible to be back, thank you so much for having me x" Check out more of our Entertainment coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Charli xcx responds to critics of her Glastonbury 2025 performance - labels autotune complaints "boring"
Charli was riding high after her Glastonbury headline slot on the Other Stage, and had words to say to her critics.
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.

(Photo by Joseph Okpako/WireImage)" title="Glastonbury Festival 2025 - Day Four" /> Speaking on X (formerly Twitter), Charli penned: "like the idea that singing with deliberate autotune makes you a fraud or that not having a traditional band suddenly means you must not be a “real artist” is like, the most boring take ever. yawn sorry just fell asleep xx" "but to be honest… i enjoy the discourse," she added. "imo [in my opinion] the best art is divisive and confrontational and often evolves into truly interesting culture rather than being like kind of ok, easily understood and sort of forgettable." "really enjoying these boomer vibe comments on my glastonbury performance. it’s super fascinating to me," she noted in a third message, before thanking The Guardian for giving her a five-star review. View oEmbed on the source website She also shared a series of photographs from the event, including images of Gracie dancing the viral Apple dance at the front of the stage, the Brat sign ablaze, and audience members setting off flares in the crowd. Another post saw her share a clip of the Brat curtain on fire, simply writing, "love you". On stage during the performance on Saturday, Charli told the crowd: "I’m known to have a heart of stone, but this is very f**king emotional" in the middle of her set. At the end of the headline slot – as has been the case at her other recent festival sets – text flashed up on big screens on 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." Check out more of our Entertainment coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Glastonbury issues advice to departing 2025 festival-goers ahead of heatwave
The event organisers have posted advice for the festival-goers.
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, 2025 in Glastonbury, England.

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, 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.

Why is Glastonbury Festival not happening in 2026? Hiatus for iconic festival explained
The massive annual festival will not be back for 2026 and here's why
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, 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." Typically, the fallow years take place every five years of the festival. The last official fallow year was 2018; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, both the 2020 and 2021 festivals were cancelled, so it's been rebooted from that point onwards. Speaking to the BBC ahead of this year's festival, Emily added that the fallow year is also a benefit to the local area of Pilton, Cornwall, as it gives them time to rest as well. "Sustainability and the need to live in harmony with the land has always been vital to Glastonbury Festival," she said. "And I think it's important because it just gives everybody a little time to just switch off".

Sir Rod Stewart brings out British music legends as special Glastonbury 2025 guests
The British icon took to the stage for the Legends slot and brought out extra special guests
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/3/2025/06/GettyImages-2222768882-13b55d6.jpg" width="5843" height="3895" alt="Rod Stewart in a green suit and Ronnie Wood in a black and yellow ensemble holding an electric guitar 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" /> The crooner – known for his iconically gravelly singing voice – accidentally ruined the surprise of Lulu by introducing her at the same time as Ronnie, before realising his mistake. Announcing the singer, Rod and the team awkwardly waited for her arrival, before he told the audience: "Oh yeah, Lulu's coming on after this!" After Stay With Me, Rod said: "Right, Lulu's coming out now! Come on, Lulu, baby. Where's your little glamstar heart?" Lulu ran out on stage in a bright white outfit with tasselled trousers, wrapping one of her legs around him before telling him: "You're killing it!" She later joked: "We make a good couple... Sorry, Penny!" about his wife of 18 years, Loose Women star Penny Lancaster, who was in attendance. He ended the performance with his entire band and performers joining him for an emotional rendition of We Are Sailing – with Sir Rod donning a sailor's hat before he bid the festival farewell. His triumphant set on the Pyramid stage comes as Glastonbury winds to a close after a jam-packed three-day musical celebration. Sir Rod left fans fearing he may not be able to perform in the weeks before the set, with illness leaving him on vocal rest and even cancelling multiple shows in the US in June. He is currently on a 40-date One Last Time global tour throughout 2025, but at the beginning of the year, he suffered from a bout of COVID-19 and strep throat at the same time. It's believed to be one of his last large-scale tours of his career, although he's put to bed rumours he could be retiring. "This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire," he said in a statement for his new tour. "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." "I’d like to move on to a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour the year after next – smaller venues and more intimacy," he added. "But then again, I may not…" Check out more of our Entertainment coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Charli xcx burns down Brat sign as Glastonbury Apple girl revealed as fellow popstar
The popstar headlined The Other Stage with a typically explosive set.
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.

Glastonbury 2025 line-up: Full list of confirmed performers and acts for festival
Here's who will be taking to the stage across the biggest weekend of the musical year.
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.

Glastonbury 2025 daily schedule: Set times for Sunday 29th June and who to watch
As Worthy Farm closes out another jam-packed year, here's who you should be checking out (and where to find them).
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 lot of songs that people love that I won’t be able to play – and I’ve got three guests coming on." We can't wait. The Maccabees (Park Stage, 9:15pm) If after a wild weekend of partying and non-stop dancing, The Maccabees set may just be the perfect place to wind down and gather yourself while listening to something relaxing. "The Maccabees coming back is a wonderful thing and The Park is the perfect setting for this to be happening," said Jo Whiley. "It’s the prettiest of places and has an intimacy and ambience which will suit their emotional, anthemic sound. I’ll be down the front at their feet weeping with the best of them." The Prodigy (Other Stage, 9:45pm) No festival is ever quite complete without a set from The Prodigy, whose hard-hitting beats will leave you unable to stand still. From Smack My B***h up to Firestarter, the band's stage shows always know how to get a crowd moving, and if you still have the energy, this is the perfect place to burn it off before winding down for the weekend. Olivia Rodrigo (Pyramid Stage, 9:45pm) Ending the weekend with an all-out party, we have Olivia Rodrigo – the American pop princess with angst-fuelled anthems you can't help but dance to. The 22-year-old will be shutting down the show with hits including Good 4 U, Bad Idea Right? and Vampire. Glastonbury 2025 daily schedule: Who's playing on Sunday 29th June? Pyramid Stage 11.15am: The Selecter 12.30pm: Celeste 2pm: The Libertines 3.45pm: Rod Stewart 6pm: Nile Rodgers & Chic 7.45pm: Noah Kahan 9.45pm: Olivia Rodrigo Other Stage 11.15am: Louis Dunford 12.30pm: Nadine Shah 1.45pm: Shaboozey 3pm: Joy Crookes 4.30pm: Turnstile 6pm: Snow Patrol 7.45pm: Wolf Alice 9.45pm: The Prodigy West Holts Stage 11am: Thandii 12.30pm: Abel Selaocoe & The Bantu Ensemble 2pm: Cymande 3.30pm: Black Uhuru 5pm: Goat 6.30pm: The Brian Jonestown Massacre 8pm: Parcels 9.45pm: Overmono Woodsies 11.15am: Westside Cowboy 12.30pm: Gurriers 2pm: Sprints 3.30pm: Djo 5pm: Black Country, New Road 6.30pm: St Vincent 8pm: AJ Tracey 9.30pm: Jorja Smith The Park Stage 11.30am: Melin Melyn 12.45pm: Geordie Greep 2pm: Katy J Pearson 3.15pm: Royel Otis 4.30pm: Girl in Red 6pm: Kae Tempest 7.35pm: Future Islands 9.15pm: The Maccabees Acoustic Stage 11.30am: Dawn Landes & Friends Perform The Liberated Woman’s Songbook 12.10pm: Toby Lee 1pm: The Henry Girls 2pm: Michele Stodart 3pm: The Riptide Movement 4pm: PP Arnold 5pm: London Community Gospel Choir 6.30pm: Rhiannon Giddens With Dirk Powell 8pm: The Bootleg Beatles 9.30pm: Roy Harper <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/06/GettyImages-2222738537-ab3a04c.jpg" width="5563" height="3709" alt="GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND - JUNE 29: Shaboozey performs during day five of Glastonbury festival 2025 at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 29, 2025 in Glastonbury, England.

Who are Patchwork? Glastonbury 2024 mystery act finally confirmed in Pyramid Stage performance
Speculation had been rife over the mystery band.
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."

BBC confirms Neil Young set at Glastonbury 2025 will air after all
When the official coverage plans were first announced, headliner Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts were notably missing.
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? Yes, the BBC has now confirmed that Neil Young's headline set will be broadcast live on BBC Two and Radio 2 and on the iPlayer’s Pyramid Stage stream from 10pm. A statement issued by a BBC spokesperson read: "We are delighted to confirm that Neil Young’s headline set from Glastonbury on Saturday will be broadcast live to audiences across the UK on the BBC.” Earlier, the broadcaster had announced that the set would not be broadcast live "at the artist's request". A statement at that time readL "On Saturday on BBC iPlayer, our Glastonbury Channel and five streams for the main stages will bring a range of live performances to audiences. "At the artist’s request, we won’t be live streaming Neil Young’s set. Our plans, including those for our TV highlights shows and on-demand coverage, continue to be finalised right up to and during the festival." Charli XCX's set, which is set to take place at the same time on the Other Stage, will also be broadcast on BBC One from 10:30pm. Why was Neil Young missing from the BBC's Glastonbury coverage? There was initially no official confirmation as to why Neil Young is missing from the BBC's previously announced Glastonbury coverage. Young’s absence from the BBC line-up came after the Cinnamon Girl performer confused fans last year by claiming he had dropped out of Glastonbury – only to change his mind less than a week later. In a message posted to Neil Young Archives, the musician directly blamed the festival’s collaboration with the BBC as part of the band’s decision. "It seems Glastonbury is now under corporate control and is not the way I remember it being," he wrote at the time. "Thanks for coming to see us the last time! We will not be playing Glastonbury on this tour because it is a corporate turn-off, and not for me like it used to be." However, just three days later, Young would say he made the statement due to "an error in the information received" and the Chrome Hearts would perform after all. The band will be hitting the Pyramid Stage from 10pm, following Raye and mysterious band "Patchwork".

Loyle Carner albums in order: Full list of releases
Here's everything you need to know about the hip hop star's work to date.
Loyle Carner has become one of the biggest names in the UK hip-hop scene – and proved just why by being booked as the act for the Other Stage on the Friday at Glastonbury 2025. The 30-year-old star has been building up a following for years, becoming nominated for three BRIT Awards throughout his career to date. Born Benjamin Gerard Coyle-Larner, the singer adopted the stage name as a take on his surname – a "spoonerism" that switches the two words of his double-barrelled surname. Following his performance at Glastonbury, here's everything you need to know. Loyle Carner albums in release date order Yesterday's Gone (2017) Not Waving, but Drowning (2019) Hugo (2022) Hopefully!

Robbie Williams confirms he won't perform at Glastonbury 2025 - but reveals who fans should enjoy
The entertainer had been considered a potential secret act for the festival this year.
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." "I was in a boy band. And boy band members do not go to Glastonbury," he added. "You see - the thing is… I did though."

Glastonbury 2025 reveals Lewis Capaldi as secret act on day of Survive single release - and he leaves fans in tears
The singer stepped back from performing after his Glastonbury set two years ago.
Lewis Capaldi ended weeks of speculation and made a triumphant return to the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury on Friday (27th June 2025). 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. Established by Michael Eavis in 1970, Glastonbury has grown into the UK's largest music festival, drawing over 200,000 fans to enjoy performances across more than 100 stages. In 2026, the festival will take a fallow year, a planned pause to allow the Worthy Farm site time to rest and recover.

I’ll be quick, the last three years haven’t been the best. "This has been my goal, to get back here, doing this." 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. As Lewis struggled to sing his hit track Someone You Loved, the crowd at Glastonbury at the time rallied to support him, performing the song themselves in its entirety. At the end of his 2023 set, he told the crowd: "Glastonbury, I’m really sorry. I’m a bit annoyed with myself." <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.

(Photo by Joseph Okpako/WireImage)" title="Glastonbury Festival 2025 - Day Three" /> Lewis, who has publicly discussed his Tourette's diagnosis in interviews and Netflix documentary How I’m Feeling Now, later apologised to Glasto organisers in a statement that read: "I am really sorry and I hope Eavis will have me back on because this has been a f***ing s**t show. “I feel like I will be taking another wee break over the next couple of weeks so you probably won’t see much of me for the rest of the year." The subsequent quieter period has proven to be what Capaldi needed to get back to his best, and even returned with new music, launching new single Survive at midnight ahead of his performance. View oEmbed on the source website Taking to X to share their thoughts on the set, one fan wrote: "Anyone else sat crying watching Lewis Capaldi’s #Glastonbury return?" "So inspiring to see Lewis Capaldi back on stage and being so open and vulnerable about his mental health struggles," said another, adding: "You can survive and things can get better." While a third wrote: "GOOSEBUMPS WATCHING LEWIS CAPALDI RIGHT NOW ON BBC IPLAYER!!!! all these people turning up for an unannounced set, right back at Glastonbury where he belongs." Lewis himself later wrote: "Glastonbury it’s so incredible to be back, thank you so much for having me x" View oEmbed on the source website View oEmbed on the source website View oEmbed on the source website Check out more of our Entertainment coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Glastonbury 2025 weather: What is the forecast for the festival?
Will you be needing to pack wellies or sunscreen for the weekend at Worthy Farm? Here's what we know.
Glastonbury is known for its unpredictable lineup and secret sets, but long-time attendees will tell you the biggest surprise of the weekend is nearly always the weather. Worthy Farm in Somerset is always ready for every eventuality, but over the years it has had to welcome thousands of revellers as they tackle the burning sun or the pouring rain in a bid to see their favourite stars perform. This year will be no different, with a heatwave hitting the UK in mid-June, but will it last to the end of the month and Glastonbury weekend, or will the lineup be performing to drenched crowds as rain takes over? If you're packing for the weekend ahead, we have everything you need to know to make sure you're fully prepared. Here's the official weather forecast for the weekend ahead – will you be needing sunscreen or brollies? What will the weather be like for Glastonbury 2025 weekend? Friday 27th June <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.

In 2026, the festival will take a fallow year, a planned pause to allow the Worthy Farm site time to rest and recover. (Photo by Jim Dyson/Redferns)" title="Glastonbury Festival 2025 - Day Three" /> While the arrivals day of Thursday looks set to be wet – with some rain expected until 4pm as the campers set up for the weekend ahead – Friday is thankfully looking a little less soggy. According to BBC Weather, Friday is expected to be cloudy but windy, with some sun making its way through by around midday. Expect lows of 14 degrees, and a high of 24 degrees from around 2pm. Clouds are expected to clear by 7pm – just in time for the end of Alanis Morissette's performance on the Pyramid Stage – before cooling down for the evening, averaging out at a cosy 19 degrees. Saturday 28th June <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/03/GettyImages-2197337640-d76348d.jpg" width="5655" height="3770" alt="LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 02: Charli XCX (C) performs onstage during the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 02, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for The Recording Academy)" title="67th Annual GRAMMY Awards - Show" /> Currently, Saturday is also looking to be cloudy but comfy, with a light wind cooling down festivalgoers as Glasto continues. However, there is the expectation of some rain, especially in the morning to around 1pm – so maybe make sure you carry a waterproof poncho with you as you start your day, as you may need it. But the sun will be fighting to get through and is expected to make an appearance from around 2pm, just in time for John Fogarty and the unveiling of mystery group Patchwork, and will carry through until 9pm. With lows of 19 degrees and highs of 25 degrees, due to the humidity it is expected to feel up to five degrees hotter than it actually is – especially towards the end of the evening when Neil Young takes to the Pyramid Stage. So please be careful and stay hydrated, with Charli XCX and Doechii both also performing at that time and promising to draw big crowds (which will make the heat even more obvious to revellers). Sunday 29th June Sunday will see Glastonbury end in style – and the sun is fully coming out to make it the hottest day of the weekend. While there is some light rain expected in the early morning, by 2pm it is expected to have completely cleared up – with the sun beaming from 2pm onwards, bringing a high of 27 degrees by 5pm. Again, due to humidity, it is expected to feel a lot hotter than it is, with attendees believed to be feeling heat resembling up to 30 degrees or higher – so prepare for it to be very sweaty. If you're planning on seeing Rod Stewart in the Legends slot at the height of this weather (his set begins at 3.45pm, at the peak of the sun's heat, and runs for over an hour), please make sure to pack some sunscreen and a water bottle, as it will be hot amid the crowd. Olivia Rodrigo will end the weekend on a high, with light winds to cool everyone off as the sun goes down.

Doctor Who icon Peter Capaldi joins Franz Ferdinand on Glastonbury 2025 stage in epic set
The Scottish actor made a surprise appearance on the Pyramid stage with the iconic band.
Franz Ferdinand made sure their Glastonbury 2025 set was one to remember on Friday afternoon with an expertly timed fake out that left fans screaming. 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.

Lewis Capaldi's set was also confirmed to be his after widespread speculation over a mysterious "Secret Set" left open on the Pyramid stage. Robbie Williams has since confirmed on Instagram that he will not be making a surprise appearance, 30 years since he infamously partied with Oasis backstage in a red jumpsuit with bleach-blonde hair. The photograph has become so iconic that he has now used it for his latest album cover, BritPop, which is released later this year.

Glastonbury 2025 reveals Lorde as secret set artist on the day of Virgin album release
She ended her surprise set with 2017 hit Green Light.
Fans were delighted today as Lorde played a surprise set at Glastonbury Festival, appearing on the Woodsies Stage following the release of her new album Virgin. The album, Lorde's fourth, came out at midnight, and the singer promised to play it "front to back", telling the crowd: "I didn't know if I'd make another record, to be honest. But I'm back [and] completely free." After playing songs from the new album, the New Zealand singer ended her set by playing two of her biggest hits from years past - Ribs and Green Light. Other singers set to appear at the festival today include Lola Young, Alanis Morissette, Busta Rhymes, Wet Leg, Biffy Clyro and The 1975, while another surprise guest will take to the Pyramid Stage this afternoon - rumoured to be Lewis Capaldi. Ahead of Virgin being released, Lorde told BBC Radio 1's Jack Saunders how she had been inspired by the release of Charli XCX's Brat album.

Meeting her in that place of rugged vulnerability and people responding really well to that, I was kind of like, 'OK, cool - this is a good thing to be doing.' "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. I basically felt uncomfortable the whole time. "When you're pushing yourself to the bone, or [pushing] to only tell the truth... the only way I can think to describe it is that it makes you feel very alive."

Rod Stewart is on the cover of this week's Radio Times Glastonbury issue
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!
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?). I have already got my favourite chair set up for Sir Rod's set, which he promises will be special. There may even be bagpipes... I sincerely hope so. We also talk to two more Glastonbury stars – Sam Ryder and Self Esteem (Rebecca Lucy Taylor to her friends), who says if Rod asked her to join him on stage to sing with him she'd be there like a shot. And don't miss our armchair Glastonbury guide in this week's issue. Thank you and goodnight. The latest issue of Radio Times is out now – subscribe here. Also in this week's Radio Times: We call on London's sandwich king to recreate The Bear's famous Italian beef sandwich. Julianne Moore takes a dark turn in the thriller Echo Valley. Eight years on, a new film puts the Grenfell Tower scandal back in the public eye. Did you know you can now order a previous edition of Radio Times magazine with our new back issues service?

Rod Stewart on Glastonbury 2025's legends slot – and why he's turned his back on Donald Trump
The Glastonbury headliner chats exclusively to Radio Times.
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 charity says: “They’re all drop-dead gorgeous, but they’re very talented. And it just levels out the egos of the men. They’re always light-hearted and they keep me young – ooh!” titters the once serial squirer of women who has been married to third wife Penny Lancaster for 18 years. At the age of 80, Rod – or, even, “Sir Rod” – is very much refusing to go gently into that good night. This is one legend who remains very much a going concern. He’s a breezy geezer multimillionaire with eight kids, a fleet of cars (Ferraris, Lamborghinis, a Pagani Zonda, the white Rolls-Royce he arrived in today) and property portfolio (Essex, Florida, Los Angeles, France) who works hard for his money and still gigs for kicks. There’s a 30-track Ultimate Hits compilation released in time for Glastonbury, two new albums in the pipeline and a reunion record and retrospective documentary with his old 70s band the Faces. At the RT photoshoot in London, Rod is a few days out from a return to Vegas and the resumption of his residency (although, as it transpires, he has to cancel his Vegas shows and further, pre-Glastonbury US dates due to a bout of flu). It’s a long-running commitment that presented a bit of a speed bump when discussions began with the festival about his return this year. “It was about eight months ago when I was asked to do it,” Rod says, “maybe a little longer. But it didn’t fit with my schedule because I’ve got to bring everybody back from America.” Factor in the cost of shipping over the equipment and staging and “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.” But such is the honour of performing in a slot previously occupied by Barry Gibb, Diana Ross and Shania Twain that a personal financial hit “doesn’t matter”. And to be clear, he’s not scrimping. The band are being treated to Premium Economy, and he’ll be flying in his usual manner – “I haven’t flown commercial for 20 years.” Does he have his own private jet? “I keep thinking about it. And then certain people that have owned planes have said, ‘If it f***s, flies or floats, rent it,’” Rod says, unabashedly recounting the old-school adage beloved of high-flying rockers of his vintage. “It’s a headache I don’t want, so I just rent. I’m going up to Glasgow [in a private jet] on Saturday for the Cup Final. Me and five mates watching the Celtic pull off another treble – wahey!” he adds, the latter a frankly unnecessary dig at your correspondent, whom Rod knows to be a Rangers fan. (Sir Rod Stewart’s feelings now, given that Celtic lost to Aberdeen in that match, remain, sadly, unrecorded.) Anyway, the “PJ” is a well-earned but necessary practicality for a musician who’s been touring all his life. “You gotta get there in comfort. You book the best hotels. I’ve been to every major city in the world, and because I’m a keen model railroader, the hotels will set me up with a spare room, with a table, so I can build my models. I don’t take the whole set with me, because it’s in a room [in his Essex mansion] that’s 40 feet long. But I’ll take a project, like a building to make, and bring all my tools and my paints. It’s lovely, and I don’t waste any time.” So that’s his on-tour relaxation now; he’s not in the hotel bar any more? “No, no, I do the bar as well,” he adds hastily, lest I get the wrong impression. “One thing I do love is a drink.” That said, Rod recently found himself appraising the rider provision in his dressing room. “I looked at it the other day and I thought, what is all this s**t doing here? All I need is a few bottles of wine and some crisps, and that’s it. And there’s all these bloody things! What am I gonna do with them? No houmous, but big piles of bananas and apples! And when you think the whole world’s bloody starving. I gotta do something about that. Thank you for reminding me.” But the alcohol, including some bottles of his own Wolfie’s whisky brand, will remain. “The band have their booze that they request and I have mine. But I think why I love touring now is that we have the best after-gig party. All the girls come, we all get showered, all the girls are dancing,” he recounts, admittedly possibly not in an accurate chronology. “We put music on and we’re all having a laugh. It’s so much more fun than it was in the old days with just the guys. So many egos and drug-taking. It’s brilliant, I love it now.” The booze remains for medicinal reasons, too. “I always have a little gargle before I go on: rum and coke. Been drinking that 40 years. I never drink it any other time… The vocal cords need a lot of looking after. I mean, they’re absolute gold. I warm up for an hour, warm down for half an hour. And when I feel I’m losing my voice, I go into what they call ‘voice rest’ and wear a little card around my neck that says ‘I can’t talk. Don’t talk to me.’ And it’s remarkable how your voice will come back.” But looking after himself is a year-round job, “I don’t wait until I start touring”. Rod’s competitive footballing days are over after having a replacement right knee. (“What’s it made of? Metal. Well, not metal it’s carbon fibre or some bollocks.”) But at home in Essex, next to the five-a-side pitch where he’ll still have a kickabout with his youngest sons, Alastair, 19 and Aiden, 14, he’s had a 100m running track installed. “I can do it in 19 seconds. And the record for an 80-year-old is 14 seconds. I’ll never get it to that. But I’m trying. There’s all the little techniques – where you put your arms and where they finish. How high you can get your heels to your bum. They could knock a second off. I’m working on that.” Still, he has to remember that replacement knee, in part the legacy of decades spent performing on stage. “When I look back at what I used to do, falling down on my knees and sliding along…” Like the man says, he’s been doing this all his life, ever since he made a name for himself in the early 60s as a gifted young belter on London’s blues circuit. But before that, as a working-class lad raised above the shop – his Scottish dad’s newsagents in Archway – he paid his grafting dues. Did he ever deliver the nation’s favourite magazine? “More than likely, because my dad used to sell the Radio Times. When I was 16, I’d just left school, hadn’t got a job but wanted to be a musician. He’d get me out of bed and say, ‘Come on, you gotta deliver some newspapers.’ I’m up [to this height he indicates], and the other newspaper boys were only down here… So embarrassing! But bless him, he made me do it.” A stint working in Highgate Cemetery followed but didn’t last very long – “and I never dug any holes, because they used to do ’em with a little tiny digger”. But it was followed by a job in a funeral parlour. Well, to be clear, “above a funeral parlour. We were beatniks and all had long hair, so we couldn’t get jobs. So my mates set up a picture framing business. And downstairs was a funeral parlour, and to get a job in the framer’s, you had to lay in the coffin for ten minutes. They’d nail you in. That was the initiation. F***ing awful experience!” As for his attitude to death now, it’s best described as chipper. “It’s unavoidable!” he laughs. “I don’t worry any more than anybody else. But you can keep yourself fit. I’m surprised at how many men are so scared of going to the doctor’s. I had prostate cancer,” he says of his 2017 illness, a sequel to the thyroid cancer he had in 2000, “and I tell people: go to the doctor – finger up the bum, no harm done. “I can’t believe [Joe] Biden’s got it,” he adds. “What’s happened there? Did he avoid check-ups because he thought he could run for President again, or what? It’s terrible.” Speaking of which, how does he feel about performing in Trump’s America? “I’m not a great fan of Trump. I knew him very, very well. I used to go to his house,” he says, pointing out that they’re neighbours in Florida. “I live literally half a mile away… We’re both on the beach. I used to go to his Christmas parties. He’s always been a bit of a man’s man. I liked him for that. But he didn’t, as far as I’m concerned, treat women very well. But since he became President, he became another guy. Somebody I didn’t know.” Would he still count him as a friend? “No, I can’t any more. As long as he’s selling arms to the Israelis – and he still is. How’s that war ever gonna stop?” he adds, voice rising. “And we should stop selling them as well. What did Starmer say yesterday? They dropped the talks on trade? What f***ing difference is that gonna make? Someone’s gotta do something. What Netanyahu is doing to the Palestinians is exactly what happened to the Jews. It’s annihilation, and that’s all he wants to do – get rid of them all. I don’t know how they sleep at night.” Stewart knows from experience that criticising Trump on stage doesn’t go down too well in America. “I had a little joke about him when he had all the tan, you know, the Orange Man. And: ‘Boooo!’” But he does (literally) fly the flag for Ukraine in his set, during the song Rhythm of My Heart – “and I wear a blue and yellow suit to match the flag. That goes down very, very well.” View oEmbed on the source website Whether he’ll play that song at Glastonbury, he isn’t saying. But he will say that he has some tough choices to make about his set list. In 2002 he started with Handbags and Gladrags and ended, 22 songs later, with Sailing. This time? “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 lot of songs that people love that I won’t be able to play – and I’ve got three guests coming on,” he adds, clarifying that they’re singers (he won’t say who) and that Ronnie Wood, the Rolling Stone who’s his old Faces mate, is also coming on. “But I’m really looking forward to it. And it is a different gig. It’s like when you’re playing a cup final: you’re trying to treat it like another game. But, of course, it’s not. It’s special.” So, what can RT readers tuning in at home expect to see? “It’ll be glamorous, it’ll be sexy. Not me – I’m talking about the other members of the group! And we’ve got a little orchestra coming on to play with us. And we may have some bagpipes…” The latest issue of Radio Times is out now – subscribe here.

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. The full version of this interview will be available to read online on Tuesday 17th June. The latest issue of Radio Times is out on Tuesday 17th June – subscribe here.

Glastonbury 2025 dates and latest ticket information
The annual visit to Worthy Farm promises to be one of the biggest yet.
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. Glastonbury 2025 dates: When is the festival taking place? 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." Glastonbury 2025 tickets: Are they still available? Unfortunately, tickets have already sold out 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. The ticket resale has also been and gone, with the final batch of resale tickets for this year's festival selling out in 20 minutes. The general admission resale tickets for the event in Somerset were released at 9am BST on Sunday April 27th, with the festival announcing they were sold out by 9:20am on X (Twitter). Coach resale tickets also sold out earlier that week in about 30 minutes. More information can be found on the Glastonbury website. 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.

Glastonbury 2025 confirms Rod Stewart for festival's Legends slot
Stewart returns to the iconic festival 23 years after his last appearance.
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 to a great American songbook, [then a] Swing Fever tour the year after next – smaller venues and more intimacy. But then again, I may not." Glastonbury 2025 is set to take place on Worthy Farm from 25th to 29th June, and recently came under fire for a major change to its ticket buying process. Instead of previous years where prospective ticket buyers would refresh their pages to secure tickets, it was confirmed that they would have to join a virtual queue. The decision to change it up divided fans, but ultimately didn't have a major impact on ticket sales as Glastonbury 2025 remains sold out. As for now, we'll just have to wait and see who else is set to join Stewart in the Glastonbury 2025 line-up. Looking for something else to watch? Check out our full TV Guide and Streaming Guide.

Who are K-pop band Seventeen? Meet Glastonbury 2024 history-making act
The band are among the world's most successful K-pop groups.
Seventeen are gearing up to make history at Glastonbury 2024 as the first K-pop act to perform at the festival.

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.

Its title track Adore U reached No. 13 on the Billboard US World Chart.
