Glastonbury’s 2025 lineup is probably not what many festival-goers expected, but trust me, it’s a good thing. Regardless of your music tastes, organisers have managed to book some of the best and brightest across rock, rap, pop and jazz.
After some stadium-sized rock’n’roll? Check out Irish rock band Inhaler, whose impressive third album Open Wide came out last month, or Leeds band English Teacher, whose Mercury Prize-winning album This Could Be Texas was hailed by music critics as “one of the finest debuts of the decade”. Florida rapper Doechii, with her sizzling charisma and tongue-twisting flow, is one of the most exciting breakout stars in years, bar none. Elsewhere, even the most po-faced of jazz snobs will have a ball watching Ezra Collective tear it up on stage, while pop devotees will find plenty to enjoy from Lola Young, Myles Smith, CMAT, Gracie Abrams and, of course, headliner Olivia Rodrigo.
