The anticipation for Glastonbury 2025 is reaching fever pitch, with fans eagerly dissecting every rumour and whisper about potential performers. Scottish rock titans, Biffy Clyro, have emerged as a strong contender, particularly for a headlining slot on the Other Stage. Their recent announcement as headliners for Glasgow’s TRNSMT Festival in July, coupled with several European festival dates throughout the summer, has fueled speculation. Intriguingly, a gap in their tour schedule around the Glastonbury dates (June 25-29) has further ignited fan theories on Reddit and other social media platforms. While the band hasn’t released new material in four years, their extensive and acclaimed back catalogue, combined with their reputation for electrifying live performances, makes them a prime candidate for a prominent Glastonbury slot. Some fans even suggest they are now ready to headline the Pyramid Stage, potentially in 2027 or 2028.
Adding to the intrigue is the band’s strategic scheduling of festival appearances across Europe in June. Their itinerary includes performances at Rock AM Ring in Germany, followed by dates in the Czech Republic, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Austria, culminating with Southside Festival in Germany from June 20th to 22nd. The noticeable absence of any announced commitments between Southside and TRNSMT leaves a tantalizing window of opportunity for a Glastonbury appearance. While no official confirmation has been made, the circumstantial evidence combined with fervent fan speculation continues to build the case for Biffy Clyro’s return to Worthy Farm.
While Biffy Clyro’s potential appearance remains shrouded in speculation, other rumoured acts are adding to the Glastonbury buzz. Pop sensations Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, and Olivia Rodrigo are all reportedly set to grace the stage, while music icons The 1975, Stevie Wonder, and Neil Young are anticipated Pyramid Stage performers. The sheer breadth of musical styles represented by these rumoured performers underscores Glastonbury’s commitment to showcasing a diverse and dynamic lineup. The official announcement of the full lineup is eagerly awaited, but these early rumours are already painting a picture of an eclectic and unforgettable festival experience.
Beyond the confirmed and rumoured headliners, a constellation of other artists is being linked to Glastonbury 2025. Basement Jaxx fueled speculation with a conveniently placed “Glastonbury-shaped” gap in their recently announced tour schedule, their first live shows in a decade. This subtle hint has sent fans into a frenzy, eagerly anticipating their potential return to the festival. Other artists in the rumour mill include global superstar Harry Styles, rising pop star Sabrina Carpenter, and rap icon Eminem. These diverse musical acts, spanning genres from pop and rock to electronic and hip-hop, further underscore the festival’s reputation for embracing a wide range of musical styles and catering to a diverse audience.
Adding to the already impressive roster of rumoured performers are Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette and Scottish new wave pioneers Simple Minds. Their inclusion would further solidify Glastonbury’s tradition of showcasing both established legends and rising stars. The sheer volume and variety of rumoured acts underscore the festival’s enduring appeal and its ability to attract some of the biggest names in the music industry. While the official lineup remains a closely guarded secret, the circulating rumours suggest a spectacular and diverse array of performers, promising an unforgettable experience for festival-goers.
Despite the lack of official confirmation, the rumour mill continues to churn, adding fuel to the already fervent anticipation for Glastonbury 2025. The festival’s long-standing reputation for delivering unforgettable performances and showcasing a diverse range of musical talent has cemented its place as a highlight of the global music calendar. As fans eagerly await the official lineup announcement, the speculation and rumours only serve to heighten the excitement and anticipation for what promises to be another iconic Glastonbury experience.
