In a thrilling announcement that has sent waves of excitement through the music world, The 1975 have been confirmed as headliners for Glastonbury Festival 2025. The British pop-rock sensation, led by the charismatic Matty Healy, will take to the legendary Pyramid Stage on Friday, June 27, marking their first time topping the bill at the world-renowned festival. This milestone cements the band’s status as one of the UK’s most influential acts and fulfills a long-standing ambition for both the group and their devoted fanbase.
Glastonbury Festival, held annually at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, is a cultural juggernaut, celebrated for its eclectic mix of music, arts, and community spirit. Since its inception in 1970 by founder Michael Eavis, the five-day event has grown into the pinnacle of the global festival calendar, drawing over 200,000 attendees and showcasing the biggest names in music alongside emerging talent. The 2025 edition, running from June 25 to June 29, promises to uphold this legacy, with The 1975’s headline slot already generating buzz as a must-see performance.
The 1975—comprising Healy, guitarist Adam Hann, bassist Ross MacDonald, and drummer George Daniel—bring a dynamic blend of introspective lyrics, genre-defying soundscapes, and electrifying live energy to the stage. Having previously performed at Glastonbury in 2013, 2014, and 2016 (notably on the Other Stage), this Pyramid Stage headline slot represents a triumphant return and a significant evolution for the band. Known for hits like “Chocolate,” “Somebody Else,” and “The Sound,” their set is expected to blend fan favorites with fresh material, potentially hinting at a new era following their acclaimed 2022 album, Being Funny in a Foreign Language.
Festival organizer Emily Eavis expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “The 1975 have long been on our radar for the Pyramid Stage. Their creativity and connection with fans make them a perfect fit for Glastonbury. We can’t wait to see what they bring to Friday night.” The announcement aligns with Glastonbury’s tradition of balancing heritage acts with contemporary stars, ensuring appeal across generations.
Tickets for Glastonbury 2025 are already in high demand, with further lineup details to be revealed in the coming months. For The 1975, this headline slot is more than a gig—it’s a defining moment in their journey, and for festival-goers, it’s a promise of an unforgettable night under the Somerset sky.
