More than 210,000 music fans are preparing to descend upon Worthy Farm, in Somerset, for this year’s Glastonbury Festival.

First held in 1970 as the Pop, Blues & Folk Festival - when just 1,500 people attended - the feast of music has grown to become a major event in the British cultural calendar, with most of the biggest names in music having played it at least once.

Tickets went on sale last November before a single act had been announced and sold out instantly.

But don’t worry if you’re not able to make it there in person - there will be a huge amount of coverage to catch on television.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is Glastonbury 2025 taking place?

The 2025 Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts (to give it its full name) is scheduled to take place between June 25 and 29 at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset. The main acts are playing from Friday, June 27. and Sunday, June 28.

Who is headlining this year’s Glastonbury?

Friday night will see The 1975 headline the Pyramid Stage, with Neil Young last on the Saturday (although his set will not be broadcast) and Olivia Rodrigo closing the festival on the Sunday.
