Glastonbury 2025: Kneecap and CMAT join line-up as The 1975 and Olivia Rodrigo headline
By Charlotte McLaughlin, PA Senior Entertainment Reporter
The 1975 and Olivia Rodrigo have been announced as joining Neil Young as a headliner for Glastonbury 2025.
Kneecap, CMAT, The Script and Snow Patrol are among the Irish artists playing at this year's festival in southwest England.
In June, the festival’s Friday show will see British band The 1975 perform, as Canadian singer-songwriter Young heads up Saturday’s edition, and US singer Rodrigo takes the final Sunday slot.
Young was confirmed in January, after initially refusing to play the Pyramid stage because of an “error in the information received”.

He had said the festival was under the “corporate control” of the BBC, because of the corporation’s broadcasting rights.
Belfast rap trio Kneecap will perform in a slot on the Saturday.
Rod Stewart was already confirmed for the coveted teatime legends slot on the Sunday.
Glastonbury is taking a fallow year in 2026 to allow the farmland to recover, organisers said last year.
In 2024, London-born singer Dua Lipa, rock band Coldplay and American singer Sza all headlined the Pyramid Stage.
